Well today is day 27 for me and i haven really had any pregnancy symptoms like i did in January when i got pregnant on my first round of clomid (had a miscarriage at 6.5 weeks) Although i am super tired and have great mode swings. lol
Anyways i tried a pregnancy test this morning and got a big fat negative. i knew i shouldn't have tired it but of course its hard not to. I'm due tomorrow so I'm not sure if i should keep my hopes up or not. I do have little bouts of nausea but i'm not sure if thats just all in my mind or not?? Man i wish pregnancy tests worked better for me. The last time i tried the day my period was due and it said negative but i took one four days later and it was positive?? i don't understand how it would take so long, maybe it was because the pregnancy wasn't a very good one.

First Clomid January 2008, ended in Miscarriage
Second round of Clomid started March 2008 ---- waiting.
Hi Amanda, I was reading about HPT's awhile ago and it said you should wait at least a week after your AF is due to get an accurate reading because you don't have enough hcg in your system early in pregnancy for the HPT's to pick it up. You can get sensitive ones that detect less than 25IU/L so you can use them the day after your AF is due.
I try my best not to test early but I normally give in and then test again a week later just to be sure. I'm now in my 2ww and am trying to keep busy not to think about it, I know how hard it is to try and wait.
Definitely test again in a week, I've read so many stories or women on these sites that tested around day 30 got a negative then tested again in a few days and got a positive.

2008: Hubby and I ready to TTC
Jan: Clomid 50mg Metformin 1000mg Feb: Clomid 100mg March: 100mg clomid 1000mg Metformin tested day 30 April: Being referred to RE July: First round of Puregon/Ovidrel
Thanks i will test maybe tomorrow morning. Today is day 29 for me but i'm not sure if clomid makes cycles longer or not? I'm normally always a 28 day cycle so I'm just assuming i would AF on day 28 or 29, but i don't even have spotting or anything and I'm constantly checking. lol
Has anyone had their heart race as a side effect of clomid? I've taken 6 rounds of clomid since July of 2007 and this is the first time I've noticed this side effect. I just took a round of clomid 100mg but the last few times I took 100mg it didn't do this. Just wondering. I got the Rx filled at a diff pharmacy and their generic must be a diff brand than what I am used to because the pills were much larger but they said clomid 50mg generic (I take two to make the 100mg dose).
Good Morning Ladies!
Sorry I have been MIA for a few weeks. Been very busy with wedding planning/baby making...its been unreal lol.
How is everyone coming along in their cycles? Where are you in your cycle?
Anyone seen any s this month? I wanna hear baby news!!!!
As far as myself, this is my fifth cycle using clomid (days 3-7). I'm currently on CD6 so halfway over the clomid intake...(Thank God too because I know I have been moody/bitchy [pardon the language] to my DH and he has been taking it to heart). I'm praying for a good response with the clomid this month, but not going to be to hopeful. If this cycle doesn't work for me, I will be seeing my dr and discussing further options. Any suggestions on what to use? do? Suggestions of things that doesn't make mood swings varyyyyyyy.....
Thanks and hope all is doing well. Let's hear some updates
Just wanted to say hello!! I am new to the site, but wanted some support on the Clomid issue.
I am on day 16 and just fininshed my first round of Clomid 150 mg. MAN are my ovaries hurting and my abdomen is soooo tender. Has anyone had this side effect? I can't tell if I have ovulated or not becuase I continue to have this aching for he past 3 days.
We were successful on Clomid 150 mgs on our 2nd cycle with my first little girl who will be 2 next month.
I hope we have the same success with the medication this time. I just don't remember the tenderness. Any thoughts????
I'll keep you guys posted on the day 21 draw results!!!
