Hi Kirsty,

I have PCOS and had 4 cycles of clomid. On my first cycle (taking the lowest dosage clomid for 5 days from day 3-7) I had my ovulation confirmed by bloodtest on CD21, but think I O'd on day 17. On the other cycles I wasn't monitored at all by my doc (which is a big no-no) so I used the OPK tests and got a positive on CD 15, then didn't ovulate on cycle 3 at all (used OPKs for two weeks!) and then on the fourth cycle got a positive on CD 16. So... it was a patchy result for me. I thought that if clomid made you ovulate, that it would do so in a 'textbook' fashion ie you O on CD 14 and then AF (or BFP) on CD29. But it wasn't the case for me. In fact, my cycle were long, 32 days, 31 days, 37 days and 31 days. In my case clomid didn't work and I have since moved on to IVF.

So don't panic - it can still happen for you, but just be a little slower than you might have hoped. Fingers crossed you O soon and then get a BFP.
