Anyone taken prometrium or clomid??

by Lindi, May 26, 2003 12:00AM
Hi ladies, I've been reading a lot on these boards, but haven't really posted that much.  I enjoy your wisdom!
My question is this:  I just finished up prometrium today(200mg 2x/day) and am waiting for AF so I can start clomid (50mg days 5-9).
Does anyone have any idea on approx. how long it will take me to get AF after stopping the progesterone?
And also, why do some women take clomid on days 3-7 and others on days 5-9?
I have suffered from irregular periods for as long as I can remember.  They were only regular when I was on BCP.
We've been TTC for nearly 8 months now, so hopefully this clomid will "kick start" my body into ovluating.
Thanks for your help!

You should start your period within 10 days of the last pill.

From my research, it's really Dr.'s preference as to 3-7 or 5-9. I take it 5-9. My Dr. refuses to give it any earlier then that.

I to have suffered irregular cycles for about 10 yrs, that'w why the clomid for me also. First month at 50mg, I ovulated on CD17, Second cycle at 100mg, I Ovulated on CD18 so it is DEFINETLY shortening up the cycles!!!  :)

Be prepared for hot flashes and headaches though. Everyone is different, but those are the main two that I experienced. Funny thing was when I took 100mg, I didn't have as many side effects as with the 50mg....  

Good Luck!!
