Cycle length?

June 25, 2008

Im on my first round of clomid 100 mg...and forgot to take it on day 5, so took it day 6-10. I was very hopeful this month, but I just tested on cd 29 and got a bfn. Can clomid lengthen the cycle??? I have NEVER missed a period and only once in my life can I recall my cycle being 31 days (2 months ago). I am pretty darn regular. My next question is this....at what cycle day do I get worried? I have one more hpt test. Im thinking I will wait until cd 32 and test again if no AF. But what if it comes up bfn, and then I still dont get my AF? Then what? I am not being monitored close by my ob/gyn....at what point should I go back?

Did you use opk's?

no, not this month.......was trying to save some money, and i think they are somewhat vague......as ive used them in the past.......i am not diagnosed with any problems......i ovulated and menstruate normally so i thought i could wing it........i will next month, if my AF would start already

Yes, clomid can for sure lengthen your cycle - not sure why but I have read about it! My first 2 cycles I was 30 day cycle and 3rd round 36 day - I o'd on Day 24.

Clomid in many instances also can shorten your cycle...and it is unclear whether it truly does lengthen one's cycle

If you ovulated, you should get your period about 14days later unless BFP, but when you ovulated is anyone's guess

If you didn't ovulate, then you won't get AF, but don't worry, skipping a few days is perfectly ok, but if more than 35 days pass, then let your doc know

thanks everyone......i will wait and see if AF comes and on cd 34 if it hasnt I'll call my doc and make an appt.

I wouldnt worry since you just had a cycle 2 months ago clocking 31 days. So, you still have time
