Clomid Question

July 07, 2008

Hi there. I have VERY irregular periods. I had a miscarriage about 4 months ago and after not having a period or not ovulating (checked with blood test) my Dr. put me on Clomid. I took it day 5-9 of my cycle. I usually ovulate on day 23 (long cycles). When should I expect to ovulate on Clomid??

well since i take clomid on days 3-7 of my cycle and i ovulate on cd 14, i assume you would ovulate on cd 16??? not 100 percent sure though.

are you going in for ultrasounds to check your follicle size?

Angela, no I'm not yet. I'm going in on day 21 to get a blood test to see if I've ovulated. I guess I just want to know if I will ovulate when I normally ovulate (CD day 23) or if the clomid will cause me to ovulate earlier. I've read that you ovulate 5-9 days after your LAST pill but I don't know if this applied to people with wierd periods or not...

Clomid can cause you to ovulate earlier. I would start doing the OPKs from CD 9. Clomid is specifically meant to regulate the cycle

Welcome flickr,

Agree with HopeN and angela, and unless doing ultrasounds, one can not know exactly when one will ovulate...The only thing we know about the menstrual cycle is that one ovulates, one can expect a period about 14 days after unless preggos...

Good luck, and keep us posted...
