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
Good luck this Thur let me know your outcome.
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.
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!!!
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
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
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.
