Clomid working too well HELP!!

[Mrs PuMp]

CD16 BT was today and my progesterone level is aparently 12?? im not sure what that means but according to the drs i havnt ovulated. another month a wqaste. really disheartened at the moment. i felt like i had a few signs saying that i have o'd like high soft and open cervix and a positive opk when all the other ones had been negative.

is it possible that if i o'd on cd14 a cd16 bt wouldnt pick up that i o'd because of it being so close?

also how much is a sperm analysis? the dr told dh it would be 385 and i thought that was a bit steep

cd16? i always had bt cd21

dont give up, shag like rabbits! clomid is notorious for resulting in late ovulation!

why are you having so many blood tests?? CD16 isnt enough time to let the progesterone rise if you had just ovulated.

Usually blood tests (i think I said this up there^^) are taken on day 21 to see if you have ovulated or not. If they took a blood test the cycle I fell pregnant on day 16 they would be telling me I didnt ovulate either when i know i did on day 13. IYKWIM.

Is the doc your seeing a Fertility specialist because it sounds really strange all the blood tests. I went to Sydney IVF and the FS gave me a BT on day 21 to see if I ovulated, I didnt have a scan to look at folicles though.

Progesterone of 12 either indicates you havent ovulated yet, or you have really early on.

Without clomid I always ovulated on day 21 (having PCO) and with Clomid (50mg from day 2-5) I ovulated on day 17. I took it for 5 cycles. Different for everyone though, if you do regularly ovulate your ovulation will be closer to 3-5 days after your last tablet, my FS said to DTD from day 10 for us every 2 days until day 20 to over all bases. Hope this helps, how did you go this cycle? do you have any more results? If you are pregnant your progesterone will stay high, ie around 30 - 50 when your AF is due.

I also had BT only on day 21, and i always ovulated on day 18 (big O pains). I think my first cycle on clomid was a bit all over the place though. Can you request another BT for day 21? I don't see why they wouldn't let you.
And my DH had a semen analysis done last year and it cost nothing up-front and then we got a bill sent out for about $50. I don't know where your GP got $385! What state are you in?
