Hi guys,
hope its ok if I join you in here, I'm also posting in TTC after miscarriage thread ( Hi porsche).
I'm on my 2nd month of clomid ( first was a dud though cos DH was in hopsital over my fertile days so I didn't count that one as real). Af is just about to start so seems this month is out also.
Just a question for you wise ladies- I'm thinking of taking my clomid day 3-7 instead of day 5-9, reason being I O quite early in my cycle approx CD 11-12 usually, and feel like I've already O'd by the time my clomid kicks in (I feel a bit swollen in the ovary area around CD15/16.)
I did a bit of research and it seems theres a lot of people taking at all different days, has anyone got any thoughts?
thanks ladies!
Hi Saffy

I take mine all over the place. I know I probably shouldn't but I experiment a little. Normally I take it from CD2 - CD6 but I have taken it from CD1 - CD5.

What I found is that I don't O any earlier or any later than when I would take it normally (CD2 - CD6). I usually O around CD14, 15,16. I guess we all react to clomid differently. Some have 28 day cycles and others (like me) have 35 day cycles. We all differ.

Perhaps give your Dr a call and ask if it is ok to take it at a different CD. He/She may have a reason for you to take it on a specific day.


Bec - I'm going to be watching for your BFP announcement. A line is a line and it all sounds very promising.

Tammara - I'm thinking of you today. I hope it's all fine and bubs is going strong.

Linda - I'm baffled as to why your not being monitored. How do you know if you are Oing or not? Are you using OPKs (ovulation predictor kit)?

I wasn't being monitored either for the last 4 cycles as I was due to have a lap and the FS decided that I should keep going with the clomid to keep my cycles regular and then after my lap I got pregnant.

Might be different this time though. But I'm not concerned if she does monitor me as I monitor myself through BBT and OPK's. It will be different IF we move to IUI/IVF.

AFM first day back at work. Not sure how it will go. Bit nervous really.
