Clomid question...

Does Clomid automatically lengthen the cycle or is that just a side effect of SOME women?  If you have short luteal phase, would that be the automatic treatment since it lengthens the cycle?  

Anyone with experience with this?

p.s. it also depends what cycle days you take it.  for example, if you take it days 2-6 you will O much earlier than taking it cycle days 5-9 (which made it very late for me) so it depends on how the dr. prescribed it.

It shortened my cycle, too. I o'd on cd9 one time on Clomid! My Lp has always been 14days without fail. It stayed true to that on Clomid, too. I just tended to o earlier, making for a shorter cycle. It does help with short Lps, though.
