Trouble TTC

Did Clomid lengthen your LP?

This is my first cycle on Clomid and I also had a trigger shot on CD 18, with the IUI on CD 20.  I was just wondering if Clomid generally affects your LP at all.  Thanks.

Re: Did Clomid lengthen your LP?

  • I think it did lengthen mine, I am 13dpo, the longest I have had. Usually mine are 11 days long.

  • Yes - if your LP is generally short Clomid can help to normalize it. If your LP is normal length already, I don't think it will make a difference. If you are taking progesterone supplements, the progesterone can lengthen even a normal LP.
    IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
    IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
    IVF #1 = BFN
    FET #1 = BFN
    FET #2 = BFN
    IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
    IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
    Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!

    Mine is generally 10-11 days, so I would say that's on the shorter side.  Hopefully, it will lengthen it a bit.

  • I was only on it once.  It did extend my LP by one day - from 14 to 15 days.  Good luck!!!

  • I was only on Clomid once and had a c/p that cycle, so I don't know how it would have affected my LP. My RE said that it normally does lengthen shorter LPs, and is a toss up whether it would lengthen a regular 12-15day LP.  When I was googling this before, seems that for a lot of people, it did lengthen their LP.
    11/10: IUI #1 =100mg Clomid CD4-8 + pregnyl trigger + IUI = chemical pregnancy
    1/11: IUI #2 = 5mg Femara + trigger + IUI = BFN
    2/11: IUI #3 = injectibles + trigger + IUI = BFN
    IVF #1 April 2011 ER 4/23 w/16 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 11 fert., 4 blasts to freeze, 5dt of 2 blasts on 4/28, beta #1 5/7 = 243... beta #2 5/9 = 491....beta #3 5/11 = 1113!!

    You did an IUI this cycle, too, right?  Have you started testing?  I did one on Jan. 6.

    Yes I did!  We are almost on the same schedule, and I *know* there are at least a handful of others that went right at the same time too!  I'm only 8dpiui and I go for a beta on 14dpiui.  I refuse to test, even for trigger.  Last cycle I tested at 11dpiui and got all emo over the bfn even though it ended up being a bfp a few days later.  I'm trying to avoid that this time around, but we'll see.  Eeeek good luck!!!

    lol @ emo.  that's how I am right now.  Today was my first negative after getting positives, so I feel sad.  My dr. didn't say anything about a beta, just to test on the 20th.  Good luck to you, too!!!  Keep me updated!
