Thanks for responding. I actually thought I did my progesterone test too late since I got my temp rise on day 19 but did not get blood test till day 30 ...I then got my period on day 33. However, If I did not ovulate I had a very short leutal phase. I stopped testing after my first opk.

Hi there,

it appears you ovulated the first time, but not the second time on Clomid...unless the Progesterone level was taken a little too early and you got a period about 14 days later...

It is best to go by OPK and best to stop checking after first positive as this only leads to confusion...

If any questions and/or troubles, best to visit an RE who can give better treatments, and you can find one near you using this site...

clomid....should I be doing opk's and bbt?

Hi there. I am so glad I found this site! I went of BCP 2/08 and was having a period every 2 1/2 to 3 months. In June I went to my dr to get blood work done and everything was fine. (no progesterone was taken) My husband also did a semen analysis and that came back fine as well. My 1st round was 50 mg (4-8) and my progesterone level was 13. 2nd month 100mg (3-7) and only 4.7!? The problem is...I started charting with the 100 mg and also doing OPK's. Both months I got a positive OPK on day 22... I am not sure what to go by my opk or my chart?? My chart shows a signifigant rise on day 19 and stays high until the day before my period. Is it possible to get a positive opk 3 days after my temp rise. It went from 97 to 97.5and up to 98.4. If I did ovulate earlier than my blood test was too late. B/c I was going by my OPK. I got my Blood work done on Fri and started my period on Monday. I go to the dr on Friday for my annual and to discuss clomid again. This is the 3rd day of my 3rd cycle. I am now on 150 mg. I have not been getting ultrasounds or trigger injecitons done. They have never been discussed with me. What do you think about the discrepency in my opk and chart?? Thanks so much in advance!
