Welcome to the thread! I am currently on my third round of clomid (100mg). I have ovulated each time (YAY!) My FS gives me an internal ultrasound around CD16 to measure the follicles and the uterine lining. You should have one or two follicles and they need to be a good size (16-23mm). The uterine lining needs to be over 9mm. Then you will be given a trigger shot (something like Ovidrel) either there in the office, or to take home. This will cause you to ovulate 12-40 hours after the injection. You need to BD for three nights from the time of your trigger (including that night). I know some girls in here then have a blood test to confirm they have ovulated. My FS doesnt do that. But I know I have ovulated because I get pain. Your CM will be drier than normal on clomid so you may need a sperm friendly lubricant such as preseed. (make sure it is fertility friendly lube as most isnt!).
Clomid has regulated my cycles. And it did it straight away! I was VERY irregular before and I never ovulated.
Another thing, the best time to take clomid is night time. It lessens the impact of side effects. Although, my side effects went away after the first clomid cycle.
I have just been told to take the clomid this cycle & have BT on day 21, but no appointment this cycle. Then when my second cycle starts i call to make an appointment, have more day 21 BT and then go in to discuss if i have ovulated or not. I am already onto the preseed, buying some next week Hopefully i won't get too many side effects, been stressed out enough lately!
i haven't been on here in a while so i hope everyone is doing great whatever stage of there cycle there on and i am thinking about u all on this journey...
The reason i have been MIA is i had my appointment with SIVF and i think i went in there with very high expectations and thought that we would start something straight away but oh my goodness was i wrong the appointment couldn't have gone way different then i was thinking, now dont get me wrong our fs was really lovely and genuinely wants to help us achieve our goal or having a baby, but her main concern was that i had been bleeding for 5months non stop and the fact that this was not unusual for me as it had been happening since AF started when i was 12... so she immediately sent me to get an ultrasound and the results were definitely not good at all, it still shows that i have pcos but i also have a condition called endometrial hyperplasia and i have been rushed through to have an operation as she is very concerned about pre cancer cells, and to make matters worse i am terrified about going under general anesthetic and then if the results show pre cancer cells we forget about ttc and focus on this issue and i dont know how long the ttc would have to be put on the back burner, so i have had an awfull past few weeks and an awful few more to come as i worry constantly about the operation i am having to get done.... but on the upside we have found the best doctor ever she is absolutely brilliant i can not speak highly enough of her, she has genuine interest and concern and wants to help us, she has a great PA that calls me all the time to let me know whats going on and even the doctor calls and chats to be about certain results and such, so hopefully everything goes well and nothing is found and then we can start straight away with ttc....
