My husband and I have been TTC for 3 months. We are both in our mid 20's and this will be our first child. I have noticed while using OPKs the past two months that I ovulate very late resulting in a very short, like 7 days, luteal phase. I read that Clomid is the medication prescribed for this issue. On my preconception check up my doctor told me to come back in 9 months if I had not conceived but since I am noticing a short luteal phase should I make an appointment?
Well for all who's using clomid, or wanting to get pregnant then go for it, Just believe in Our Father, and Pray........to Him He will answer Our Prayers... im on my 5 clomid pill for the 1st time, and well see after i get some results
More eggs = more babies :)
I just re-read your post below. As usual, I read too quick and didn't realize you said "that is the first questiton I was asked". I only heard the "it's true..."lol I'm so 1/2 @ssed these days, I swear.
Last year, I did 2 months of 50 mg, no ovulation, 1 month of 100 mg, no ovulation, 1 month of 150 mg, unsure of ovulation, another month of 150 mg plus some shots, I ovulated, but didn't get pregnant. I was fed up, so took a break until January of this year, started at 50 mg again, got pregnant with my triplets. Crazy!

shamanda I didnt mean to leave you out of that post :O)
Did you see the thread below from yesterday? I didn't know chellybeans was on clomid, too. I hope she pops over today.
At first I was taking it on CD 5-9, but my doctor changed it to CD 3-7. I honestly can't remember which it was when I got pregnant!
As you all know (lol!), I am pg with twins. I got pg on 100 mg of Clomid w/IUI. They didn't do hcg trigger b/c I already surged. I got pg with my son on 50 mg of Clomid 2 months after ovarian drilling 4 1/2 years ago. I got pg (accident) in Feb 06 and m/c at 6 wks in March 06. Started ttc immediately and after confirmed irregular ovulation (some months did, others didn't), my dr. finally put me on 50 mg of Clomid days 6-10 in Aug/Sept 06. First month, progesterone was 24 but nothing, second and third months of 50 mg it was b/n 5-7. Dr. wanted me to take a month off so I switched drs. (I was fed up!) She put me on 100 mg days 5-9 and I o'd, but nothing. Went to 150 mg, didn't O. Took a month off. Then 2 more cycles of 150 mg. I o'd but BFN. Went to RE, took 100 mg days 3-7 and bam, pg with twins!
Good luck!
I posted on the maternal forum because I know several women over there that are pg with multiples and used clomid. I invited them over to our clomid chat. Not all the women over there come over here, too. I would love to hear the success clomid stories and the multiple link. I think there are as many multiples now as singles. Is clomid the common factor?
sorry, no clomid for me girls. my doctor just assumed i had somehow been on it when we had our first ultrasound at 5 weeks and 1 day to find 2 sacks.he said that almost every case of twins or higher multiples that he has seen in ten years has been linked to fertility drugs, especially clomid. i wish i could be more help.
i did read a study. not sure of the accuracy but it linked consumption of yams in a tribe in Africa, i think, to a high rate of multiples.
you can google Yoruba twins.
didnt see it gonna go look for it now
they gotta help us out I PRAY CLOMID DID THE TRICK :o)
I'm slow but just found it....I O'd own my own before clomid :O) :O)
serious O pains on both sides this time :O) :O)
1 week and counting
That is great!!! You must be so excited! What days were you taking the Clomid?
Wow! I posted to you below, but with this forum they get buried so fast. That's amazing and wonderful and SCARY! lol How many rounds did you do and how log of a break b4 going back to 50mg?
I was on 50 mg. of Clomid and got pregnant with triplets. It was a surprise because previously I'd been up to 150 mg. and still wasn't ovulating. I took a break, then started up with 50 mg again and got pregnant right away!
