Clomid and cycle length

July 12, 2008

Dr. Q and ladies

I have noticed the past few months my cycles are getting very long (ever since I started working out at the gym 3-4 days a week)...last month was a 49 day cycle with ovulation on CD37. This month I am on CD21 with no ovulation yet but I'm sure it will happen soon (hopefully)

I had bloodwork done throughout the month of May and all hormone levels were fine. Right after that I started working out at the gym to get more toned up and to feel better, not to lose weight. Could me working out like that cause my cycles to be a little messed up? My body fat hasn't dropped that much (it didn't need to, I am around 26-27% BMI)

Would the Clomid shorten my cycles if I started taking it?...I plan on asking my OBGYN about it in Dec. at my regular appt.

Clomid made my cycle longer, changed my 26 days into 30 days. good luck

When cycles are this long, clomid should actually shorten your cycles...when one's cycles are within normal range like jenstar, minor delays and and or shortening can occur

Thanks = )

What about the exercising? Could that affect my cycles?

Hi Laura, my cycles were between 32 and 37 days prior to clomid. Clomid shortened them to between 28 - 33 days. I don't know about the exercising sorry, I would imagine that it wouldn't unless you are pushing yourself very hard on a regular basis. xx

Thanks Suzi! I am exercising pretty hard but I am not pushing myself by any means. Before I did not exercise whatsoever...I am thinking maybe my body went into shock with all the exercising. I am mainly trying to tone up and get back into shape.

Ooooh I could do with toning up big time!!! I just need the energy and the motivation to do it. I keep putting it off in case this is the month that I fall pregnant......need to stop using that as an excuse to do things!!!!

Suzi as of next month I am no longer worrying about what will affect TTC...first step Aug. 15 I am going white water rafting LOL. I am tired of living my life around the thought of "what if this is the month"

Good for you Laura. I need to try and get myself into that mindset!! White water rafting sounds exciting!!!
