Clomid questions....

You may experience side effects like hot flashes or upset tummy.

I'd certainly give it a month or two without the guanefesin but that is your discretion.

I remember suggesting that you had another attempt in at least 2 and possibly 3 months and you didn't. I am not saying that as a rebuke in any way, it is totally your choice but at least 2, and I ~believe~ but I am not 100%, three months, I wanted you to have one more attempt than you did.

Quick update...I got a super faint positive late last night on an OSOM test, and again this morning. Unfortunately, it didn't get darker and I'm thinking it's another chemical. I called the RE this morning and she is going to do some labs, have an ultrasound after O to measure my uterine lining, and she said that she wants me to take Femera instead of clomid, so she is rx that. What days do you recommend taking that?

Thank you for the feedback. So for sure 2 attempts at positive opk, possibly 3? Does that femera equally sway pink even with 3 attempts? It's hard with DH's work schedule to get multiple attempts, especially since he travels a lot, but I'm going to MAKE him do it no matter what this cycle. This needs to be it for us....

Femara on same days as Clomid. It's better anyway.

No, I don't want you to have 2 attempts at positive OPK, I want you to do a pattern like e4d (this guards against early or late O) and then additionally be in with another at positive OPK. If you want more attempts than that we can go to SMEP (but that will be possibly even harder with hubby's schedule, unfortunately)

[maximbella]

Okay, so e4d plus one attempt at positive opk. Would the next attempt after positive opk be 4 days from that, or from the previous 4th day?

Someone from the tww group suggested SMEP and I meant to ask you about it! Given the femera, which route would you choose...SMEP or e4d plus +opk?

[atomic sagebrush]

The e4d pattern goes on and on - it's separate from the OPK. Do NOT reset the e4d pattern to line up with the pos OPK, just add the pos OPK onto whatever the e4d pattern is.

I would personally not have you do SMEP until we have tried e4d plus one and Femara for at least a couple months!

Okay, that's what I will do this coming cycle. So if the positive opk falls on the 3rd day of the e4d, then go ahead and have an attempt that evening and again the following night for day 4, right? Even though that's 2 attempts, or that's okay since I need 2 attempts? Just trying to clarify.

My RE called in the femera and I start on CD3 (Sunday).

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes!
