What to expect after first round of clomid?

Hope&Faith07 · January 2011

Hello All, I introduced myself sometime last month and since then have become a lurker especially on weekends. Well I recently completed my first round of clomid with orivdrel trigger. I have a question that now thinking back I should have asked my RE. Anywho...

After taking clomid and orvidel should I expect my cycle to become regular? My cycle has been between 30 to 45 days for the past two years, so I am wondering if because of this should I wait until 45 days before taking a pregnancy test? Today is cycle day 32 and I have been driving myself crazy trying to decide if I should wait since my cycle is not regular. Can you let me know what you have experienced after taking clomid?

Thanks all!

Were you not monitored on clomid? How did you know when to trigger? Did they not schedule a beta blood draw? It doesn't sound like you were at least charting, either, is that right?

Not to be Debbie Downer, but that is a pretty risky course of action. Please think carefully about future cycles. https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/37113868.aspx

I didn't ovulate without medication, but I did ovulate with clomid. Later than "normal" people, though, so I wouldn't have been able to take a test until somewhere around CD34. Good luck to you.

hey there! i am in the middle of my first clomid cycle so i don't have the answer you are looking for but i am wondering why your RE didn't give you a day to go in for a blood test to find out if it worked?? with the ovidrel, my RE has already told me that I should do TI 36 hours after we trigger and then after the 2ww I will go in to test.

I think you need to call your RE and ask if you should test or if they can do a blood test for you. If it didn't work then you should be monitored with more u/s next round to be sure that you o'ed and ask when you should expect a blood test or AF.

GL!

I was monitored while on clomid. I went in on CD13 for u/s and b/w, u/s revealed that my follies were not big enough. My RE instructed me to return on CD16 to see if there was growth and b/w again, she noted if not we will bring on your period. When I returned on CD 16, I had one follie ready and b/w was normal. My RE told me to take the trigger during the afternoon of CD17 and of course a "relations" schedule. DH and I added a couple days to the schedule for GL : )

My mistake was not asking if and when should I test since my cycle is not normal. I asked my RE if I should chart while on clomid and she said not to worry since they routinely do b/w and u/s while taking clomid. When I did chart, prior to clomid, if I did ovulate it normally would happen between CD 16 and 18. So it would seem that it was right on target. I will make a call to my RE tomorrow and just asked...
