When to take Clomid
by jojo201434, Dec 05, 2006 12:00AM
Here is my situation. I had two Miscarraiges this year, one in February and one in June. I had to have a D&C for the second one. My infertility endocrinologist told me that I had a low progesterone problem. My first MC my progesterone read 1.3 and my second it was 11. I was taking progesterone pills, inj, and vag suppositories for the second one, but we don't think we caught my pregnancy in time. Anyway, I have started taking clomid to help out in ttc. I was told to take it on days 5-9 and that i was to have intercourse on days 10, 12, 14 and 16. This sounds logical for a person with a regular period that starts on day 28 but mine starts on day 31-33. Dosen't this mean I ovulate at a later time or does the clomid make me ovulate earlier. Just curious. Thanks.

by the way were you started on progesterone beggining right after ovulation or when you had a pos on hpt? i have a history of mc too.
So it may happen that some doses of clomid - 50, 100, 150, 200 mg may not work for a particular person. To know how effective it is plz ask your doc to do some blood test or a simple scan 3 days after your last dose of clomid. With scan you usually get to know when to bd.
Or else, as written by other frends, BBT/OPK are other solutions.
PS: i was asked to take clomid from day 3 onwards...
