calling all clomid users

[stillwaiting]

This is my first time on clomid and I'm just wondering what to expect. I know every body is different but I woild like some insite. My Re put me on clomid starting with the 3rd day after red flow. I'm on my 2nd pill. My Re put me on 25 rather than starting with 50 as the usual dose.  Will this change my 'o' day? I chart bbt so I know that my 'o' day fluctuates from cd 10- to as late as cd 19 (the 19 is following m/c). I have read different things on this I just would like to hear from you ladies who have already been in my shoes. I can't tell as of yet that clomid has any side effects. It may be the small amount in my system or maybe this comes later on. Any insite with this?
Thank you for your help.

Please let me share with you my experience with Clomid...

About 4 years ago my husband and I tried to become pregnant for about a year with no success. I always had a probelm with AF - and I went to my doctor & was perscribed Provera to bring on AF & then 50m of Clomid. I took it - went & had my blood drawn to see if I ovulated - the doctors office called said that I had ovulated - & on my way home from work I got a pregnancy test. Believe it or not it was positive - & 9 months later I had my son Charlie. So - there ARE success stories!

Now - 3 years later - we are wanting to have another baby. Tried again for a year with no success - & was put back on Clomid. This time has not been as much fun. I am currently on my 3rd round of Clomid. I've gained about 10 pounds (however I think I've been eating more) & I have been very moody But I remember my doctor saying that the side effects are worth going through to have another baby. That the feelings that I was having were normal.

The 1st month on Clomid I didn't think I ovulated (but I did - early?) - 2nd month had my period on my own & AF was realy late. The at home pregnancy test was negative - went to the doctor to have some blood done - & the pregnancy test in the office came up positive! (Yea POSITIVE!- so I thought I was pregnant for only about 15 hours ) - the doctor's office called & said my blood work was negative. I was NOT pregnant! My AF didn't start on it's own - had to take Provera again - & this month when I did the ovulation tests - I got a positive result 6 days in a row! Odd So now this coming Monday morning I go to have more bloodwork done to test all my horomone levels (& hopefully find out if it worked). So cross your fingers!

Sorry for the length of this - just wanted you to know that I understand how you feel - & good luck! Thanks

Thank you for your reply.  I'm sorry to just now be getting back.  So...... are you saying that you "o" while on clomid?

Well - I obviously did the last time I used it (because I got preggo:)  But this time - I didn't one month (which is a little confusing) - I had some bloodwork yesterday to see if I ovulated this month - & I am waiting to hear from the doctor (which is no fun!)
