I took Clomid CD 3-7 this cycle. My Dr. said to use OPK so our timing is "just right." I was reading the box of answer brand OPKs and it said that Clomid could affect the result. Any experience with this?
When I was on clomid, I never had an issue with getting a false positive.. From what I found online (below), it sounds like that only happens if you take the OPK within a few days of your last clomid pill.
A: Clomid (Serophene/clomiphene citrate) can cause a false positive in OPKs if taken too soon after finishing the prescription. According to most of the manufacturers you should wait at least 3 days before using an OPK. If you take Clomid days 3-7 you can begin testing on day 10. If you take it 5-9, you should wait until day 12.
