[bellabee84]

so here i am 79 days since my last epriod and AF comes today this is well and good since i am starting chlomid 50mg tomorrow my question is when should i be having sex since i am usually a 45 day cycle but this last one was 79 days so on what date should i be ovulating ???

[Maruschke]

typically 5-10 days after you finish the last clomid pill. You might like to buy some cheapie LH OPK's from ebay to test when you are ovulating, they are pretty useful. I'd be BD every second day from CD12 until you are sure you ovulated, or even more than that if you can.

thanks i think i will jsut have to try sex every second day since i have PCOS so the home ovulating tests dont work for me....fingers crossed not hopeful though next FS appt is november 11th so i am goin to push for the surgery to burn cysts away and have a laparoscopy

If your anything like me, you will definitely know from the ovulation pains, ouch! Sorry I don't mean to scare you It's bearable, just uncomfortable.
Good luck!

I agree with M and Tasha.

Bellabee, are you having blood test monitoring with the Clomid? It would be a much more reliable way of finding out when your LH and estrogen is rising, especially with PCOS. When I was taking it I started BTs every day from day 11 and my FS would ring me and tell me exactly when and how often to DTD. It was like military precision so much for the romance! Might be worth asking at next appointment (though hopefully you won't need it!).

Best of luck, hope that egg makes an appearance soon x
