Another Clomid Q...promise this is the last one.

I know I have been super annoying with the Clomid questions, but I have one more. I was already o'ing on my own, just really late (like cd23-29). My doctor said that it was a problem and my cycles shouldn't be so long. She said that I didn't have a strong enough O, but I did get pregnant on my own twice, once with twins, and fairly quickly too.

Was anyone put on Clomid if you were already o'ing on your own?

I actually have no idea if I O on my own. As soon as I went to my fertility specialist they threw me on clomid without ever doing any testing. I had used opks and I'd get a line, but never a darker line, so I dunno. I apparently have trouble getting pregnant without assistance, so I dunno. And I guess this is my long winded way of saying I have no idea. [=

I used clomid 4 times, never worked for me. I don't ovulate on my own (per doc before loss)

 But as I was told, because of longer cycles your egg quality is lower and could cause a loss. So putting you on clomid will help bring up ovulation some ( others on IF board say Ovulation canbe late CD18-24) and help with egg quality.

I am mostly a lurker, but I wanted to answer your question. I am pretty sure I was o'ing on my own when I got put on clomid 50mg days 3-7. We conceived DD my first cycle. I was lucky and never had any side effects that I can remember. I am not sure if that was due to the fact I was on vacation while I was on it and just wasn't paying attention. Overall I had a great experience with the stuff. Best of luck to you!

I usually ovulate on my own but my cycles are really long.  I do have some anovulatory months as well.

when i was on clomid the last month the RE (when i finally saw him it was my last of 6 mos of clomid prescribed by my ob) the RE told me about OPKs and when i used it the last month i got my first pos on day 18- by then I had still been thinking i was Oing on day 14 like i should have been by "all the books" so we were so done BD by day 18.

I O (for the most part) on my own, but I don't O until cd20+.

Yes, I O every month on my own but I also O-ed late (20+) and didn't have a "strong" O, whatever that means.  Even on clomid, and later the lowest dose of Femara, I don't think I had quality O's or good progesterone.  It wasn't until I took a higher dose of Femara that my progesterone was consistent with a "good" O. 

I definitely feel it has made a difference in my cycle, although of course no BFP yet.  I have only had one cycle on the correct dose though.  GL!
