    Temping along with Clomid and IUI

    Hello does Clomid affect your temp at all??
    Just wondering as this months temps are so up and down
    I had my 5 days of CLOMID from days 3 to day 7 and then on day 12 I had my IUI with hubbies sperm..they gave me a trigger injection 15minutes after the IUI to make me ovulate in the early hours of Monday morning...But FF temping site is saying I ovulated on day 12 which is the day I had my IUI and remember they gave me the trigger 15 mins after the iui to make sure I ovulated 36 hours after my IUI which would of been yesterday morning?

    Could it be the pregnyl 5000 trigger injection they gave me 15mins after the iui thats making my temps diffrent...remember this injection was supposed to make me ovulate in the early hours of Monday morning...but my temp chart says I ovulated on Saturday I'm soooo confussed.

    Have a look at my chart

    Hi Mrs Happy

    I'm not sure if you were still wanting any answers to your questions, but I thought I'd post to you just in case...

    Now I'll be honest, I don't know that much about Clomid or the trigger injection, so my thoughts are purely based around what I know about temping and progesterone.

    Progesterone is the hormone that is responsible for the temperature increase after ovulation. Once the egg is released from the follicle during ovulation, the follicle turns into the corpus luteum and makes progesterone which makes you temp increase. My understanding is that clomid just makes your body produce more FSH to help make sure that you ovulated. For that reason I wouldn't think that it should effect your temperature at all...

    Good luck when you test soon!!!
