WHEN DOES CLOMID MAKE YOU OVULATE

[auntlugu]

I am going to the dr today after taking clomid for three months.  i was put on 50mg.  My question is, how do i know if it is working?  my husband got diagnosed with a low count which he is being treated for but i don't want all focus to be on him if something could be wrong with me.  does anyone know what i should insist on being tested for.  the reason i don't think the clomid is helping is because i am not getting clear signs on the OPK's of ovulation and becuase i am still spotting 3 days before my period.  i am thinking it was not enough dosage or something else is wrong.

last month i though on the 16th that the opk was positive.  then on day 21 it looked positive again.

Thanks

Just so you know hardly anyone ovulates on 50mg that what my new ob doc just told me. We skipped over the 50 mg dose this time as she thought it wouldn't help anyway and you can only do so many cycles of clomid. I would get a second opion. And your age maybe has something to do with it but i also think its the fact your doc is only doing the losest dose twice in a row. thats a waste for you and your spouse. every month pregnancy isn't acheived your dose is to be upped 50 mg. i have had to different fertitly doctors tell me this. and so far i have one healthy baby to show for it and am currently doing another round of clomid for a second. I was also abloe to help a good friend of mine with advice and she is currently pregnant. good luck

Well my husband and i got together March 2009, stopped taking the depo shot in April 2009 and didnt have a period until june 18th 2011. Doctor put me on metformin 500mg twice a day. July 19th, 2011 i spotted for three days, then august 31st i spotted just when i wiped. September 16th i started provera to make me start my period. Started the 25th and started my first round of chlomid 9/29/2011. Also in september, my husband had a semen analysis done and everything is fine on his part. I am 21years old and have been married since 2009 and been trying to conceive since we had gotten together. In October 2011 had ultrasound of ovaries and follicles, everything looked good but still no luck. I started period 10/31 and chlomid 11/3....another ultrasound 11/9, started opk's 11/11 and lab work done 11/23. On 11/28- I had real sharp pains on my right side of stomach that lasted about 45 minutes----any ideas? Busy month but doing everything we can think of doing to help us out. For December so far, started period 12/5, chlomid 12/9 and taking on cycle days 5-9.

I have read everyone's post on here and knowing im not alone calms my nerves but so anxious to have a baby. For chlomid in december they up'd my dosage to 100mg instead of 50mg and no longer having to take provera to make me start period so happy about that! My husband is 30 and has two kids already which are 5 & 9 but we dearly want one together as well. I want the joy of being a parent the way he does. Can anyone give any advise on trying to stay positive about it all? I know my doctors are talking about IVF if this doesnt work by 6 months, which means we only have 2 months left so hoping it works. Good luck everyone out there in the same situation!! Any advice is greatly appreciated!!! :)

Hi, three yr ago I had no problems at all concieving but this time around its been year and a half without any luck :( I have had irregular cycles my whole life and dr suspects PCOS. So I turned to dr three months ago and she put me on 50mg of clomid which wasn't monitored first two months than on the third month I went for ultrasound which showed that I wasn't ovulating at all even tho the opk showed that I was :( .....this is my 4th month and first round of 100mg of clomid, today is my count day 12 and the biggest follicle measured at 13.5mm and next one was 10mm I go for another scan in two days and hopefully the have grown some more. if the grow idk if I should ask to trigger the ovulation? Well see what the dr suggests. Good luck to all!!

I am 25 and on my second round of clomid 50mg the first time I never got a period. This time they have been scanning me and I go back tomorrow to see if any eggs have matured. I also have pcos which is a nightmare for me as I would love to be a mummy so much. I love reading other peoples stories especially when its good news it gives me hope. Just wish people would update more once they have good news. good luck everyone x

I was told by my dr that you ovulate around 7 days after you take your LAST pill of Clomid for that cycle. That to be on the safe side start using opks cd 11-18 .... once it turns pos thats when we should start BDing every day for ten days straight (once the opk is positive it can take up to 3 days for the egg to be released) So all that covers all the bases. Also he said from the time you start your period to the time you get your pos opk have your husband abstain from ejaculating at all. That way he has a build up of the best swimmers.

I'm 25 and my dh and i have been trying to concieve for over 2 years. I'm on my first cycle of clomid 50 mg. The only problem I have is irregular ovulation and my husband has a very high sperm count and great motility. Ill leave an update on how my first cycle went. Good luck ladies!!!
