WHEN DOES CLOMID MAKE YOU OVULATE

I am going to the dr today after taking clomid for three months.  i was put on 50mg.  My question is, how do i know if it is working?  my husband got diagnosed with a low count which he is being treated for but i don't want all focus to be on him if something could be wrong with me.  does anyone know what i should insist on being tested for.  the reason i don't think the clomid is helping is because i am not getting clear signs on the OPK's of ovulation and becuase i am still spotting 3 days before my period.  i am thinking it was not enough dosage or something else is wrong.

last month i though on the 16th that the opk was positive.  then on day 21 it looked positive again.

Thanks

I wouldn't order anything (especially a fertility drug) over the internet. If you've taken clomid and it's not working for you then choose a fertility specialist that can find the problem. Clomid should not be used other than under the care of a physician.

My husband and I have been together for 8 years.  We have a 3 year old son going on 4 in june.  We decided we wanted to start trying for baby number 2 because we dont want our kids too far apart in age.  I got off of BC the first week of july 2011.  I never had a period when i stopped and my period was NEVER regular to begin with.  I went for my annual OBGYN appointment on 12-15-11 and told her what was going on and she wanted me to get bloodwork done for a hormone panel(which everything came back normal but showed i havent ovulated) and then start provera which did work and i started my cycle on dec 20th...dr told me to start taking clomid day 3(dec 22nd) through cycle day 7(dec 27) and to have sex on cycle days 10-18...now that ive gotten through all of that im just wondering when i should take a pregnancy test to see if clomid worked??? Im also set to have more bloodwork done on cycle day 21 (jan 11) and im assuming its to see if i ovulated...did anyone have success with clomid? or did anyone take it on cycle day 3-7 and get told different instructions? any feedback would help! thanks so much!

On Clomid & trying to conceive.

Hi Everyone,

I have a few questions I would like to put out there to see if anyone has gone through or going through what I am currently going through.

To give you a little history of myself.
My husband and I have been together for 8 1/2 years Married for just over a year.

When we got married we said we would start trying for a baby, When we started trying my period all of a sudden went all over the place. So I went to the doc's and they found that I had a septate so they moved us onto a specialist. He removed my septate as it was very long while he did the op he saw some endometriosis so that was also cut out. I then had an IUDinsertedd for 2 periods. This was removed the start of Nov 2011. The doc's said that they only want to give us a short time to try and fall pregnant natural . So anyways My husband and I decided to go away to LA for a holiday :)
we were hoping with being over there the stress would lift and we could have a real chance of TTC.
any who it didn't happen, so i went back to mySpecialistt on the 30/12/11 who it a blood test and they called me back that afternoon and put me straight on Clomid (50mg) followed by Ovidrel (250mcg) & Progesterone Pessaries (200mg).

I have currently taken 4 Clomid tablets.

I think my question is do you think with my history and being on these drugs would you think I stand a chance of falling pregnant soon??

Also if you have been on these drugs or had these issues in the past or present can you please let me know your outcome & how many babies you had with these drugs?

I guess i am just getting to the end of my tether with waiting.

Thank you and baby dust to all :)
