Congrats new mommies!! I'm sending out a question to all the mommies who used the help of clomid. I'm about to start clomid and I was wondering how long it took you to get your BFP after starting trying with clomid.
Three rounds of 50mg with timed intercourse - no success
Three rounds of 100mg with timed intercourse - no success
Two rounds of 100mg with IUI - no success
Much later, one round of 100mg - pregnancy with a miscarriage at 10 weeks.
I ovulated without the use of clomid so I wasn't using it to make me ovulate.
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
I don't ovulate regularly and it took us three cycles on 50mg. I know my dr said that this in not normal for most, however, I had the WORST depression and mood swings while on clomid. Like I started to go to therapy and hated everything around me. Again, he said reactions like that aren't normal but I can only share my experiences.

3 cycles of 50mg and timed intercourse = no success
a year and a half later....
1 cycle of 100mg and timed intercourse = no success (1.6 progesterone)
1 cycle of 150mg and time intercourser = success (even with a 1.7 progesterone, got a not pregnant result, started progesterone to start cycle and when that didn't work took and test and I'm 7 weeks today!!)

This Cluttered Life
First round of 50 mg - +!
I was crazy irregular with extremely long cycles, so it really just helped my body do its thing on schedule.
I have PCOS...
3 rounds of 50 mg and Timed Intercourse = No Success
Switched REs
1 round of 100mg + Trigger Shot + IUI = No Success
1 round of 150mg + Tirgger Shot + IUI = Success!
I also have PCOS...But I got pregnant on my first round of Clomid and timed intercourse. Good luck!
ETA: Clomid was 50mg
Thanks so much ladies! Your help is so appreciated!
I O'd regularly, we were just needing more targets for DH's sperm.
100mg clomid - Thinned lining. Cycle cancelled. Moved on to injectibles the next cycle. Clomid was a waste of time for me.
