Too early for clomid?

I had a mc in late 2007.  We haven't been trying hard (was charting but not fretting) until Sept. 2008.   I have realized through charting and esp. since I started using OPKs in September that my cycle ranges from 28 to 35 days.  I don't ovulate every cycle and when I do, I ovulate very late, like day 24-25.  I'm only 31 yrs old, but I would like to go ahead and discuss these issues with my dr.  Any suggestions?  Similar experiences?

Re: Too early for clomid?

  • Your cycles sound like mine used to be. I tried clomid a total of 3 months, and I did respond, but it was not the drug for me. All I would tell you is that if you are interested in being on some sort of ovulation induction medication, to please do it with a RE, and not your OB, unless your OB will monitor you. These meds are serious business, and you should be monitored on them! Good Luck, and I feel that when you are ready, it is a good time. There really is no magic number of months if you have irregular cycles.
  • YES, too early for Clomid

    NOT to early to discuss this with a dr., specifically an RE.

  • I am sorry for your loss. I went to see a RE at 5 months of charting and TI.  I am glad I didn't wait.  I was 32 at the time, I am 33 now and I will be at least 34 before we have our first.  We want more than one, and my chances decrease at 35, so we were considered a priority case for my RE since I have a complicated case.

    There was a lot of testing that needs to happen before they would start treatment for me. 

    I don't know the answer to the Clomid question, but I think it is better to be proactive.   I know it is stressful, good luck!
