Does it make you O earlier?
This doesn't pertain to me (I'm already pregnant), I'm just wondering about possibilities.
I am a late ovulator (usually around CD17 and I have a 30-32 day cycle). If I took Clomid, would it make me O sooner? Have a longer LP?
Somehow I'm already worrying about TTC again and this one isn't even fully cooked. I think it's because I know I'll be "advanced maternal age" next time lol.

It is supposed to make you O 7-10 days after your last pill so it depends on what days you take the pills (5-9 or 3-7), when you normally O, if you do a trigger injection..

I'm currently 3 DPO on my first round of Clomid (50mg, 5-9). After stopping BCP last fall, I've been ovulating on my own between days 19-30, with an 8-9 day LP. This cycle, I O'd on CD 20, with very strong ovulation pains and ovulation spotting for the first time. My doctor prescribed the Clomid to extend my LP, so I'm hoping it does! I know a lot of women take Clomid CD 2-6 or 3-7, which might move your O up more than 5-9.

I took Clomid plus a trigger injection, so I'm not sure. But on my own, I wasn't Oing until cd 22-26, then had a LP of only 7-8 days before I got my period. I took Clomid + trigger shot, and used progesterone, which did lengthen my LP. So I think my hormones were really out of whack (actually, I know my progesterone was abnormally low during my LP).
So, it helped me even though I was getting positive OPKs on my own - we still weren't able to get pregnant. We ended up doing an IUI as well because of some male factor stuff in addition. And it worked!!

@ValentineMommy: I just started my first round of 50mg on clomid this cycle. I always o on my own on cd13/14! I have 26 day cycle never a day late!
Clomid however has either made me o later bc AF shouldve arrived almost 3 days ago and still nothing!

@LAZB: sounds like those who o normally without it end up o later and those who o later naturally it makes u o earlier. Totally stupid.

I took 50 mg, days 3-7, for two cycles and both cycles I Oed the same as I did the 16-18 cycles prior. Day 14. It seems to be different for everyone.

I took it for 3 cycles (was ovulating on my own) and it was 3-4 days later
