Here I am on CD 20 and still no positive on my OPK. Here is the part that makes this really bad. I don't have a problem ovulating. I have been doing BBT for 3 years and OPK for 2 years and every month I have gotten a surge or a temp spike. Then in the next day or two I feel myself ovulate on CD8...it is a very distinct dull pain that I have come to know and expect and have felt nothing. I have one partially blocked tube and my RE put me on Clomid to make sure I didn't only ovulate on the blocked side and I started ovulating on both sides. Clomid has played havoc with my body. The first month I ovulated on CD4, that's right 4. The next month was CD15 and now nothing this month. Not to mention the Clomid side effects of which I have them all. I'm *very* frustrated. My RE is a phenomenal doctor, the best in our area, and I trust her with anything she tells me. She has been my OB since before we were ttc and I know that she listens to what I tell her and takes it into consideration with my treatment. I go to see her tomorrow for a check up and want to know if there is anything I should ask her about? Has anyone else had a problem with Clomid? If so what did you try after that? Thank you

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I hope you can find something that does not give you so many issues.
Sorry, I can't offer more help. But the side effects of Clomid should subside after a bit.
My main noticeable side effect was the hot flashes and mood swings. However, I found out that Clomid was also thinning the lining of my uterus too much. Therefore, even if the egg and sperm were to meet, my lining was too thin for an implant to occur. This is one reason why I am moving on to IVF.
Good luck ladies. I know we all have ups and downs when dealing with infertility. It is nice to have a group that truly understands. My friends are great, but not a single one of them has gone through this. They listen and try to understand but I know deep down they cant grasp it fully. Glad that I met you all on here.
