motherbug...i got a prescription from my regular dr. because i wanted to do the clomid challenge test to get more accurate results on my ovarian reserve (FSH)...then i got so busy i forgot to do the bw on cd 3 and decided to go ahead and take it anyways....Clomid is primarily used for women who have trouble ovulating. Or it can be used for the purpose of the challenge test or sometimes a dr will prescribe it to promote a strong ovulation in hopes of maturing more follicles or making one follicle grow and mature...therefore making chances of conception more likely...something like that but don't quote me...lol!
You may not need it at all if you ovulate on your own. As i said, I was going to take it for the purpose of the test...then when i forgot to do the bw on day 3...i just decided to start it on day 3 anyway in hopes that it might help me get a bfp. Instead, it totally messed with my cycle and i haven't had af since Oct 3...

Please talk to me about Clomid?? I have heard it over and over, but have not done much research. Is this something that your Doctor would just give to you.....why would you need it?? Just wondering....I could probably google it - but you guys are smarter

I did not take Clomid. I wish I had then I would have a reason for not having AF yet. haha Thank you for letting me vent and being sooo understanding. We all know how frustrating and hard this roller coaster gets. You are right. It is nice to know that you have people that will listen and help you stay positive. Thanks for being there ladies!!

You ladies are all so sweet and supportive...it's really helping me to know that someone understands all the raw emotions we are going through. I wish the best for us all....Maria...i hope this next mth is YOUR mth and you can get off this ride!!
Sweethappiness...it does sound very similar to what is going on with me too. Did you take Clomid? That can make AF a no show i have heard. Try to stay positive...it's hard but it just takes one lucy break and we will all have what we are hoping so badly for!
Sounds like we ar ein the same boat. I am on DPO 19 and CD 35 today. No show of AF in the near future. I have had 4 BFN's this month. I generally have sore bb's each month and then right when I am about to begin AF I have bad lower back cramps and also MUST have #2. (Sorry tmi) Absolutely none of that this month. My husband is also tired of being on this roller coaster and not knowing what to think. Sometimes I wonder if we made the right choice in how we try to conceive a baby. I know that sounds bad but it has now been 6 months since my surgery and I guess I am just frustrated with not getting a BFP.
Wish you luck Ryli...please know that you are not alone on this journey.

Maria...i totally understand what you mean about this being overwhelming! I am a mess too at times, especially this mth. Sorry AF came...but at least you can move forward. My bw was neg and still no AF CD35 and i am stressed to the max. I'm just worried AF won't start on her own...i just want to get on to next mth. My dh is stressed too. He asked me why we have to go through all the testing all the time.....I have used about 35+ OPK's and HPT's this mth. This has been the worst mth in our 8 mths of ttc... Hang in there....you're not alone... Lisa

Thanks for you reply Lisa '' I am going to the store today and buy some more test '' I hope that your is a BFP'' and not an evap line.
I have a strong feeling that I am but concern '' After going to the hospital on the 26th I was in soo much pain from the sciatic nerve .. They did a preg. test because they asked if there was a possibility of me being prego '' I told her yes '' Urine test came back neg. I told them it could be to early cause I was not due for AF till the 2nd ''' they gave me meds for pain and told me it was my choice if to take them or not '' I said a prayer and ask God that if I was pregnant to protect it..Meds were ..Valium / anti inflammatory and a shot of something '' I toke the one they gave me there .. but did not fill the prescription '' and the next morning I saw some pink '' that was on the 27th of Oct. so I am thinking (Maybe implantation)? so maybe it will show by tonight or tomorrow ?

I understand what you mean about taking a break so as to not stress....i did the same thing....i needed to stay away for a bit...
I totally think it's possible that you O'd a bit later than you think and maybe it's just too early for the hcg to show up...keep testing...try first thing tomorrow morning...or even try tonight....i got a neg at 5pm and just a tiny shadow of colour on hpt at 8pm...not sure if its evap. line or what so...try testing again...you never know!!
