CD18 when should I start testing?

I am on CD28 and took Clomid days 5-9. AF has not showed up and my cycle is usually anywhere from 27-31 days so when should I start testing? Will Clomid make my cycles more consistant? I am new to all of this....what does BETA stand for? I didnt get an u/s this month because dr said we would start that next month if I didnt get pregnant. Thanks and good luck to all TTC, SSBD your way!! And CONGRATS to all the BFP's!!

Opps my question says CD18 but I meant CD28

I am on count day 19 and not sure if I ovulated... what day did you ovulate? Did you use an ovulation kit, or track your temp, or both?

[Kara_robbie]

I think I ovulated on CD15 but I bought a cheap OPK so the results were alittle confusing. I have never attempted to track my temp. Did you use an kit?

You should test tomorrow.  You will be around 14 DPO if you ovulated on CD15.  Good Luck to you!

Good luck. I would test around now. I had negative result on day 28 as on day 35 so have just started my higher dose of chlomid. What dose did u take and is it 1st one?

Thanks, sorry to hear this wasnt you month. I bought a test this morning and I am nervous to take it. My period goes from 27-31 days apart so I am not sure if I am late or not. I started off with 50mgs of Clomid and yes this was my first month. They said I should stay on that dose for 3 months atleast, what dose did they put you on?

[Kara_robbie]

Well I took it, BFN!! Makes me sad and feel for all the women feeling the way I do now.

[Saz1983]

Sorry to hear that. What is bf? Silly question I know is it ovulation test or preg test? I'm now on 2nd day of 100mg chlomid and feeling irritable and have had a stinking headache all day. Please keep me updates. Good luck :)

Thanks Saz, BFN=big fat no pregnancy test. Clomid did the same to me, I am really not looking forward to that again. My side effects went away after a few days on it except the headaches....they stayed until a few days after my last pill. I made sure I took something everyday before I would get the headaches and that helped. Good luck to you!!
