    Got my CD 21 results today and I haven't O'd. Positive OPK today though. Should my cycles be shorter on clomid or can they be the same. I have long cycles.

    Great news Razzberry! Hope you are feeling terrific.
    Mrs A and DB - sorry to hear that O isn't happening. Will they increase your dose of clomid?

    One cycle of 50mg Clomid did diddly squat for me, so it was upped to 100mg, and it's done the trick. I ovulated about CD18 or 19, and a blood test at 5 or 6DPO shows my progesterone level is 16. I'm thrilled that clomid has worked, but obviously it's only half of the solution ... I'm half way through the TWW, so we'll just see what happens.

    Wishing everyone lots of babydust xx

    Hi Andie I'm off clomid onto gonal f injections that don't work. So next step in IVF. DDB yes it can muck up the length of cycles. Take care ladies

    Hi All - I was wondering if I could join you in here?

    Started my first cycle of clomid this cycle after trying since Aug 2008.
    Am on CD 7 and feeling pretty positive and hopeful this will help us.

    Well first cycle on clomid hasn't worked, up the dosage next cycle, to say I'm disappointed is an understatement.
    I believe mind over matter to help me on this path but gosh I'm struggling with being positive, just want to give up but I want a little bundle more

    Hello just popping my head in here. My FS is starting me on clomid this month. I do ov regularly however, he is hoping it may just kick things along a bit for us. Before we have to look at IVF.
    Just wondering what days do you normally take the pills? I have seen a few people say different things.
    I have some very mild brown spotting that is only there when I wipe, had it last month as well have never had it before. So AF must be on her way. My FS appointment is not until next Monday so I don't want to miss my chance to start clomid just because I might be too far into my next cycle by next Monday.

    Any advice appreciated!

    Joeve,
    Apparently I am chasing you

    When I took clomid, I took it day 4-8.

    Hope that helps!

    Chasing me on the alien baby hunt!

    Would I only count CD1 when I hit full flow? Not just light brown smudge that I have now? Glad its past breaky time!

    joeve: i take clomid days 2-6, having said that the first cycle i had of it (ages ago now) i started day 8 but only because that is the day i saw my specialist and he said just to start that day and i conceived my DD that cycle.
    as nothing2lose said day 1 is the first day of proper flow. do you have the clomid now or do you have to get it next week when you see the fs again ?

    50mg
    I guess if full flow starts I should call FS and find out when he wants me to start.

    MM AF is not really starting properly so hope that my fs is ok to start day 4 which would be around Monday and Tuesday and after I see him.

    Ok me again . Given the poor timing of my cycle and Christmas it looks like I can't get monitoring to start clomid. Dr kind of suggested I should have monitoring but also said I could monitor just with opk. Would you do a unmonitored clomid cycle for your first cycle? Next month would be monitored as everyone is back from holidays. I will be on moved to ivf in feb so only have 2 months to try clomid not sure I want to waste one by not starting.
