Hi All

Been reading through posts earlier today & feeling slightly excited that period was 4 days late (always 28 day cycle) but too afraid of disappointment to do a test. Had backache (a sign for me of imminent bleed) for about a week so had already convinced myself that would get a BFN. Further convinced when I read about how clomid can lengthen cycle, that the tablets were playing a trick on me!!! I had no idea that clomid would do that. On third cycle of clomid 1 x 50mg + 2 x 100mg & first cycle late. But guess what, went for a bath before the dreaded test & my period has decided to show itself (oh well, at least I haven't wasted another few quid on PTK, & my backache will now go!).
Was convinced when prescribed clomid that i'd get at least a positive on a OPK, but no such luck. Am finding it harder each month to believe that I might be missing my surge, but no-one seems concerned about this. Got appointment with consultant on Monday but I don't think she rates OPK so it's difficult to argue the point that I cannot detect a surge. If she offers another prescription for Clomid I feel that there is no point because it's not doing it's job but I do not want to turn down any treatment offered.
Any advice?
Thanks

Maybe next month!
