    Hi Mrs PuMp - man, how confusing for you.

    Clomid works differently for everyone, so I guess it's possible that you O'd that early - but seems unlikely. Could have been an early estrogen surge perhaps? Hopefully the blood test and scan will reveal more. Good luck - keep us posted, and come hang out in the LTTC - Clomid thread too if you like.

    Hi Mrs Pump,
    Oh my how strange. Usually you will ovulate anywhere between 5-12 days of taking your LAST clomid tablet. I used to ovulate around CD18 so 12 days after. It will be interesting what is going on.
    Good luck

    hi ladies, thought i would keep you updated on this one as im still lost and confused haha

    bt results said that my lh is still high and that they think this may be becasue of my pcos and the clomid may not even be working..... so that put a dampner on things for me thats for sure.

    have another bt on the 14th and that will be cd 16 for me. that should let me know if I o'd already or not. fingers crossed i did.

    Weird thing is that i did an opk on cd6 which was positive then another on cd9 and the test line was much lighter then the control line, another opk on cd 11 and the test line is almost invisible. would this suggest that my lh has already peaked? which would be more accurate the bt or the opk (i know prolly the bt but can they conflic that much)?

    thanks for listening

    OPK's are a no go when you have PCOS - your LH will almost always be elevated (from memory) and you'll get false positives

    i think, unless they do a scan to check on follicle development, the only way they can tell you've o'd is to do a progesterone test about a week after you should ovulate

    Oh dear... dont get your heart set on OPK's... Yes it will almost always be positive (and stuff you around.. the joys of PCOS) and also isnt the greatest idea when on clomid aswell. The clomid cycles I was on a blood test was taken on day 21 and thats it.

    Not much you can do but DTD lots and relax. Fingers crossed for you!

    agree- never used them after i learnt i had pcos because i always got a line.. grrrr. I think with pcos it is always better to dtd rather than not..you just never know.. Hope it clears up.. they should scan you i reckon
