I didn't say anything or write anything but I was really hoping and praying that the last 2 cycles of clomid jump started my body to...i don't know...work. But so far I don't think I o'd. The last two cycles on clomid I had really bad lower abdomen pain on cd 19 and cd 17 (1 each cycle). But nothing so far. I don't know...it's not like I have heard of it happening to anyone but I was hoping. I didn't say anything cause I didn't want to jinx it...silly huh?

Without temps it's really hard to say what's going on. Are you using a fertility monitor or OPKs? Anything that could shed additional light? I noticed no O pains at all last cycle with Clomid so without OPKs and temping I would've assumed it didn't happen.

[tay'smama]

No, I'm not temping because that never seems to work for me. I wake up alot in the night and sometimes dh opens the window so i'm cold when I wake up. I should use the opks though.

[MamaAnna]

OPKs will definitely help even if temping doesn't work. Do you track your CM or CP? Anything that would be good indicators? I used to just go by O pains, but since I'm not having them on Clomid that definitely isn't going to work! Of course my CM also became a lot different on it so that may not be a great indicator either... It really can cause a lot of changes in your body so OPKs are probably your best bet if you don't temp.

I'm sorry you are feeling down. I understand completely though.

[Vicki...]

I'm sorry that your down, but it may be possible that you still o'd, I will keep my fingers crossed for you this cycle. I just know it's going to happen for you soon girl.

Do you get monthly progesterone levels drawn to see if you've O'd?

[tay'smama]

Thanks girls...I really don't know what I would do without all of you. No one understands what I am going through. If I try to talk about it they just down play it or make me feel bad (unintentionally) about wanting another like I'm not grateful to have Tayla. I mean really that little girl is my whole world a good half of the reason I want another child so badly is for her!
My dr said I don't need any tests I'm not sure if she just said this cause my ins doesn't cover anything fertility but I would think she would give me that option. She said just use opk's. I did my 1st cycle on clomid and I got + for a week then -'s for 2 days then back to +. I am going to go out tomorrow and buy some...not knowing is driving me crazy!
