Clomid users-Dr consultaion comparisson

All replays HELPFUL ! ! !
Hello ladies as you all know this is my 1st time on Clomid, never prego & new to this. Id like to compare Dr. consultations.

I began Clomid 50mg cd 5-9 & NO sex cd 7-13 after this I can bd every other day, cd24 scheduled for progesterone test, by cd37 no AF I should take a home pregnancy test.

Is this something you were instructed?

I took 100mg of clomid starting day 2 for 8 days, however I was always monitored and when my follicles were big enough I would take an injection of ovidrel to help my ovulate then I would BD.

yes prog test is usually done cd21 but cd24 is okay if you O later!! 14 days after you O af should arrive.  If no af take test if neg  and af still doesn't show within 1 week let Doctor know he may put you on provera to enduce af

Thanks ladies for the input.

Belle77-How much later were you given a test showing your follicles? Is this determined in your progesterone?

Sherrycoup-My understanding is Clomid is to help O & thats when I should BD in hoped AF doesnt come right? Lets hope for BFP ! ! !

Thanks again ladies

My dr told me to take it cd3-7 and BD as much as possible...he also wants me to monitor my BBT to determine whether I O or not...Clomid doesn't always make you O...trust me, I know...I'm now up to 100mg and taking metformin...oh yeah, I have PCOS :-(...I go to have a progesterone level drawn on Thursday to see if the cycle was a waste...good luck to you!!!

I go in on day 2 for a full bladder u/s and internal along with blood work and only after the blood work comes back can I start the clomid.  I can't remember what's the reason for the bloodwork, however one month I was unable to take my clomid cause something was high, can't remember what.  I then go back on day 9 and then day 13-15 depending on how big my follicles are getting and what my blood is showing, then usually on day 14 or 15 I give myself an injection of ovidrel. 2 data later I start with prometrium.  I don't ovulate on my own that's why I have to take the ovidrel, from what I understand clomid helps the follicles get bigger but not necessarily with ovulation itself.

Good luck this Thur let me know your outcome.

Sounds like we both have ovulation problems. Thanks for the insight, never heard of ovidrel I'll research that. However Iv found Clomid does help increase ovulation: Heres a sight explaining is purpose: http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/pregnancy-articles/268.html
