Question about Clomid and late AF

August 12, 2008

This is the situation: I started my first round of Clomid 50mg (from day 1 to 5 of cycle). My period works like a little clock...Every 26 days it is there! Right now, my period is 5 days late. One week ago I had mild cramps for 4 days in a row (like I have every month right before my period, but no sign of period. And now I only have some light cramps that comes and goes and my breasts are sore. I took one home pregnancy test today (the early ones) and it came out negative...I was told by my doctor that my chances of getting pregnant are low, due to my husband's low sperm motility, so I am all confused here. I would love to know your opinion about it. Doctor appointment is only in 3 days, cause we are getting prepared for a IUI. I never had one late period in my life...Could you tell me what you think about my situation please? Thanks, Cris.

Hi cristina. Im not 100% sure but your cycle being late may have something to do with taking the clomid. I took it on cd 5 thru 9. Im am now 3 days late. I have never,ever been late. My cycle is 26 days like clockwork. Im too scared to take a hpt don't want to see a bfn. I would check with your doc since your hpt was neg.

Thanks girls! I will test again in 5 days if my periods doesn't come. And plz let me know how Clomid is treating you :) Baby dust to all!

How is clomid treating me? how about a weight gain of about 4% of my body weight?

christina - my doctor told me that clomid will lengthen your cycle length. For me it lengthened it by 3 days

wow gain of 4% of body weight is a lot. Isn't liquid retention? I guess I need to buy a scale then!

So Gibber, did you feel cramps during the delay? Right now I feel nothing and I am 6 days late.

I hope this is my month...

I hope beyond hope it's mostly water. AF came yesterday, so I guess I'll know for sure by Sunday or so once AF has gone...

I can handly the 4%.... it'd take me a few weeks to get it off, but I'm gonna be really upset if it's something that happens each month I'm on the dang drug.
