Were you on clomid (dose?)<br /> The first month I was on 50mg of clomid for 5 days, starting on CD3. I didn't even ovulate! Second month I was on 100mg clomid for 10 days, starting on cd3.</p> <p>2. Follicle size and how many?<br /> I had 3 mature follies, if I remember correctly. One was 22mm, another was 18mm and the last was almost there. </p> <p>3. What cycle day was the ultrasound?<br /> I went on CD14. I hadn't ovulated yet (I did on CD 17) and went in for an ultrasound early because of pain. They wanted to rule over overstimulation.</p> <p>4. Better news than the month prior?<br /> Yup! I didn't ovulate the precious month. I ovulated on cd17 and went for bloodwork a week later, and my progesterone was at a good level! I tested on CD28 and got a positive test! Now I have an almost two year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-cycles-mid-cycle-us#post-1132760 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 19:27:18 +0000 savanarunner 1132760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac I'm also very interested in responses. I'm on my 4th unmonitored cycles of femara. I have blood drawn on cd 21 but that's it.<br /> I'm Planning to get a referral to an RE after this last round and hopefully they'll monitor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-cycles-mid-cycle-us#post-1132684 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 18:24:57 +0000 ShootingStar 1132684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: From what I've observed OBs do non-monitored, REs do monitored. With my RE I went in around day 10, then back every few days to check progress, until I had a follicle big enough and then triggered. No CD21 check. </p> <p>IMO you're WAY better off being monitored. I didn't respond very well to Clomid and if I'd been unmonitored I never would have known. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-cycles-mid-cycle-us#post-1132680 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 18:21:37 +0000 mrs bunchy 1132680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: thanks! I hope they grow to be big enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-cycles-mid-cycle-us#post-1132668 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 18:03:02 +0000 FaithFertility 1132668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I had (4) non monitored cycles about 1 yr ago on clomid w/ my OBGYN......My RE is against it because even if you get an LH surge or Ovuate you don't know if the clomid is making your lining weak (which is a side effect) which can make an egg not implant or stick</p> <p>He suggests an u/s CD 12 to check eggs and UL and a 21 day progesterone blood test to confirm ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-cycles-mid-cycle-us#post-1132665 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 18:00:19 +0000 FaithFertility 1132665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had on CD 11 last time w/ 25 mg Clomid 1 on each side one was 16mm other was 17mm that was a Wednesday so I waited to trigger Friday and had B2B IUIs Saturday and Sunday! Good Luck yours sound great!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-cycles-mid-cycle-us#post-1132519 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 15:53:32 +0000 sarac 1132519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so interested to see the responses. Am I unusual in having had non-ultrasound monitored clomid cycles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-cycles-mid-cycle-us#post-1132300 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:03:19 +0000 mrs bunchy 1132300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>What did your follicles look like at your mid-cycle ultrasound?</p> <p>1. Were you on clomid (dose?)<br /> 2. Follicle size and how many?<br /> 3. What cycle day was the ultrasound?<br /> 4. Better news than the month prior?</p> <p>I just had my mid-cycle yesterday. I am on 50mg of clomid and am pretty happy with the results. I miscarried in March and have been having ultrasounds to check follicle size for the past 3 months. Month 1 and 2 were unmedicated and I would only produce 1 sad follicle; month one it was 16mm at cd12 and month two it was 13 at cd14. This month however, I have 2 good ones at cd11 (my ob is leaving for the week so I went in early). Both are the rt ovary and are 17mm and 16mm. Uterine lining is good! He suspects they will grow by 2mm/day which would be the biggest I've had them!<br /> Any thoughts/experience? </p>
