I ovulated on CD 15, as opposed to my usual CD 18-19. </p> <p>My RE explained that taking Clomid upped the chances of getting pregnant b/c there's likely to be more than one egg released. I'm glad they monitored me b/c that's how they knew it thinned out my uterine lining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-985170 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 13:43:45 +0000 TheReelDeal 985170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@savanarunner: Sometimes the different days are for what you want the drug to do to the eggs. If you just want to create a lot, then you would start earlier. Later days means you'll have one bigger more mature egg. I'm not 100% sure, but that is what I've read. Some people will say it doesn't matter when you take the drugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-985135 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 13:33:15 +0000 Shutterbug 985135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I think the positive OPK is a fabulous sign that Clomid may work for you! Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-985105 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 13:13:11 +0000 savanarunner 985105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on femara and take it CD 3-7 and think I O on CD 14. I didn't temp or do monitoring last cycle so I can't be sure but I had a 28 day cycle. Anyone know the reasoning for some taking it on CD 3-7 and others 5-9? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-985094 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 13:08:25 +0000 spaniellove 985094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Day 14 sounded like a guess; it sounds like today or tomorrow should be it, FX for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-985083 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 13:02:27 +0000 pui 985083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: No I am not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-985062 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 12:54:19 +0000 spaniellove 985062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Just out of curiosity, are you being monitored along with your Clomid? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984963 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 12:04:09 +0000 twodoghouse 984963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I O'd late all three months I took Clomid. I took 50mg CD5-9 and O'd on CD 18 twice and CD 17 once. (According to charting and OPKs). Prior to taking Clomid, I was Oing CD 13-14. Clomid didn't work for me, but I hope it helps you @pui! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984962 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 12:03:44 +0000 mlm2934 984962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: @shutterbug: hmmm ok, I was just curious since I don't O until CD 21-23 usually, but my LP is 14 days so guess not the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984947 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 11:59:28 +0000 pui 984947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Yes it is very frustrating, but I at least have some hope that Clomid will help me now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984946 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 11:58:23 +0000 Shutterbug 984946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: so frustrating, right? Actually, we've had sort of similar paths, because when I first did my testing last October I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and put on Synthroid. I was hoping that would do the trick, but no dice. Clomid is supposed to lengthen your LP by creating a stronger O which releases more progesterone (or something like that). They have me on progesterone suppositories this cycle too, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984935 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 11:55:41 +0000 pui 984935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Does Clomid help lengthen LP? I haven't heard that yet!</p> <p>Also that is like me. All of my tests have come back normal so they just stuck me on Clomid because I am not Oing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984928 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 11:54:08 +0000 Shutterbug 984928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: yup, @pui: is right - it's to make me ovulate stronger, and also to lengthen my LP, which unmedicated is about 8-9 days. Also, it's sort of a first step that most REs will take if you have been TTC for a year with no luck - all of our tests came back normal, so we technically have Unexplained Infertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984886 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 11:44:52 +0000 pui 984886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I heard some people O but don't O "strongly" or O late which can prevent actual conceiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984867 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 11:42:06 +0000 mlm2934 984867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: if you don't mind me asking, what result is the clomid for if you O naturally? Is it to shorten your cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-clomid-what-cycle-day-did-you-o#post-984853 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 11:39:15 +0000 marionberry 984853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took clomid cycle days 3-7 and ovulated day 13.

Did you O earlier or later than you expected?</p> <p>I took the pills CD5-CD9 and was told I was supposed to O CD14. I had a positive OPK on CD10 and a <i>very</i> positive one CD11, so it looks like I will O today (CD12) or tomorrow (CD13). </p>
