clomid and ovulation...

July 22, 2008

my last period was on june 30th..saw the doc. on july 10th..had u/s and he said i could start clomid 50mg on that day(CD 11) and we will just pretend that it was CD 4 because everything looked good. well i have had severe cramping in my abdomen and here it is CD 16 or CD 23, depending on if you go by my last period or when i started clomid. i do have pcos and do not ovulate. i have been on glucophage for a year now. well i still have had a negative opk and was wondering what you think about my cycle. just because i started on clomid on cd 4 should i still count my cycle with my last period? because i am scared i might have ovulated early and missed my positive opk..confused....help please any info would be great.

Welcome Amber!

Consider counting starting on CD 11 since you had no growing follicle at that time, and Clomid was given to help you produce a follicle, and not on CD4

Welcome but you will need to wait 3-4 days after your last clomid tablet or you might get a false reading. Trust me it works! I am on my 1st round of clomid and on 2WW but I started testing OPK on CD11 which is 2 days after my last tablet and it was negative until CD16 I got a positive OPK. So patience is a virtue though I know the wait is hard because you are so anxious to get started and to know if you O and could possibly get a BFP. Good Luck to you!
