alot of women on clomid O much later in their cycle like close to day 19 or 20 i would sugest going out and getting some opks.

Hate to sound like a ditsy bug but what is a opk?

by jen_KE, Jan 24, 2007 12:00AM
OPK's never worked for me while on Clomid - they came back false + a lot.  I just started to BD about 3 or 4 days after the last pill and then until about CD 18, when I stopped.  I also charted my temps and new to stop once they rose high.

Did you BD everyday or every otherday? Did you get preggo?

by luvbug02, Jan 24, 2007 12:00AM
OPK is Ovulation Predictor Kit you can buy them at a drug store or supermarket.

I BD every other day and did not get pregnant but we late found out it's because my mucus is killing DH's sperm!

I'm sorry to hear that you did not get a bfp...my prayers are with you, thank you soo much for all you help in answering my questions. You have no idea how much I appreciate it, I live in Boondock USA and I have to drive 2 hours to see a OBGYN. It seems that there is no one to talk to around here about these types of things.





How did you finally conclude your mucus was hostile?





My DH and I have been TTC for 5mo now, and I know that we could have a long road ahead of us...because there are people that try ALOT longer...



My OBGYN says that I am not ovulating. I have had test after test done to find out why. I will not even get AF without Provera, and when I do get AF I don't O without clomid. On the 21 day of my cylce I have to go and get blood test done EVERY time. I still haven't Od. No one really has any explanation for this, they just tell me that this is whats going on, and give me another round of clomid and provera.



***Anyway...Heres to hoping that this month brings good luck to us all***

Well, they did a postcoidal test to see how much sperm was in my mucus and there was next to nothing.  DH's count is great, so that wasn't it.  I guess they said my mucus was really thick and the sperm couldn't move around in it.

DH is dear husband,
BD is baby dancing (sex)
BFP is big fat negative.
