Question about Clomid and cycle length

shelbs87shelbs87
in Trouble TTC
Ok so I took Clomid days 5-9 this cycle and it didn't work out because I had too many follicles. So now I am waiting and waiting for AF. My question is how long was your cycle when you took Clomid if you did ovulate? Since we couldn't conceive I didn't temp or anything and figured it would just come when it comes but now I'm on day 30 and wondering when it's going to show up.

Re: Question about Clomid and cycle length

    My LP lasted about 18/19 days which was extended from my normal 15/16 LPs.

    Question, are you being monitored? I hate to harp on this, but it is so important b/c Clomid is NOT candy. It seems all too often and Ob/gyn will just hand this stuff out thinking its the end all be all of fertility medicine. 

    Please, if you are not seeing an RE or an ob/gyn specializing in infertility, either find one, or insist they monitor you! You should also go through some testing to make sure there aren't any other fertility issues that could be fixed in other ways.

    Good luck.

    7, so my RE told me definitely not to try to conceive the rest of this cycle. she said just to contact her when AF starts to go in for another ultrasound and see if I have any cysts.

    I apologize for getting on my soap box to you. I didn't realize you were being seen by an RE and I guess missed some other posts by you. 

     I'm sorry they are putting you on hold this cycle. I hope AF arrives soon so you can move forward with the next cycle. Again, good luck to you.

    I'm currently on 17dpo. My temp has gone down the past 4 days so I know AF is on her way, but it totally sucks to wait when you know you're not KU.
