Yes, I also have pretty short periods and I am on Clomid cd5-9.  SO I af is usually finishing up by the time I start my Clomid.....

I just finished taking it as well for the first time. I started on day 3 and by the end of that day I had a much lighter flow than I normally would. It stopped by day 4.  I think it's fine even if your af only lasts 4 days, that's pretty normal. Mine are usually 5 days.

I started clomid yesterday (50 mg).  When can I expect to ovulate? I've heard so many different things...and my dr. has been no help as far as this is concerned.  He didn't really tell me anything to expect with the clomid.  He told me to go get my progesterone level checked on the 24th or 25th.  What will this test show?

Hello! The progesterone level will be able to tell you if you Ovulated. They say anything over a 5 is Ovulation. My dr. told me on a non medicated cycle they like to see a 10 but on a medicated (clomid) cycle they like to see at least a 20.  It did not work for me. I had no response on clomid up to 150 mg.  Good luck to you!!!

y doctor alwasy gives me 12 days after the first day of my clomid pill to come in for an ultrasound. and then she tells me i am ovulating and i can go home and act like a bunny. so 12 days after the first day of your clomid. good luck!!!!!!!!! i hope your read this.

Oh yea I took clomid CD 3-9 and I usually only bleed 3-4 days tops so I usually am not bleeding when I start the clomid.  Good luck I got my BFP on clomid last month.

by HOPINGTOBEAMOM, Sep 07, 2007 03:37PM
Af for me usually lasts 2-3 days and you should still be taking your clomid.  My schedule is 28 days like clockwork... I "o" on 14th day.

Thank you so much, that helps a lot.  I bought a box of OPK's this evening.  So, I will start using them in a few days.

thank you guys so much for your comments. it helps alot. i am still confused if i can have a glass of wine and if that will interfere with clomid doing its job. but the first day i took the pill, i also had half a glass of white wine. so i dont know. and do you have to  take clomid EXACTLY on time everyday. cause today is my second day and i took it 45 minutes later than yesterdays. i know i am being too panicky and annoying. i am just tired and i want it to go right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you all again
