Good news re: ovulation predictor kit

Hey everyone!!!

I posted a couple of days ago because I had a question about OPKs. I've

tried them at different cycles and I've never had one come back positive. I

know

I've ovulated because I was pregnant in June and miscarried in July.

Anyway...I started my Clomid again this cycle (I did a cycle back in March and

then

waited until this cycle to try it again...LONG story). I've been frustrated

because I haven't gotten any postitives yet. Well...this afternoon I left

work

to go home and test (thank God I've got a flexible schedule and I live close

to

work) and it came back positive. Now the line isn't quite as dark as the

test line, but it's definitely there and it's almost as dark. So...I'll test

again tonight to see what we've got. I'm just really excited that the test is

doing SOMETHING this time. WooHoo!!! Maybe the next time I post about a

positive test, it'll be a HPT!!!

Thanks for letting me ramble.

Love and peace...

hi there, ive had so many months experience on clomid over the

stretch of three pregnancies. what i have found is that using these

test kits (and I have MANY TIMES), they are nothing but

unpredictable because clomid messes with the hormone that is being

detected by the kit. There is alot of info out there on how

unreliable ovulation test kits are when you are taking clomid. i

might suggest using them in correlation with observing cm. however,

sometimes even that is a problem. cm has been known to dry up when

one is using clomid. Everyone is different though. If you love to

read, i might suggest reading toni weschler's book " taking charge of

your fertility. " it's -- imo -- the most awesome book for women

ttc. it will help you fine tune you body and learn about your

fertility symptoms.

lots of baby dust coming your way!!
