side effects after discontinuing clomid?

Hi everyone,
I was on Clomid 50mg in April and May, and in June I did Clomid 50mg with an Ovidrel trigger. Due to vacation and the fact that I wouldn't be around for monitoring, I decided to try a natural cycle for July. Prior to (and while on) Clomid, I have regular ovulation, anywhere ranging from CD18-23. Today is CD21, and no O in sight. I have been using OPKs, but haven't gotten a positive result yet. I suppose that it is possible that I missed it, because for awhile I was only testing every other day. However, I can usually tell when I am O'ing based on CM, crampy, etc. This month I have not felt any of those symptoms yet that I usually do (whether on Clomid or not). I called the RE office and they said I can come in to get my levels check to confirm if I did O, but figured I'd throw the question out to the board too. I didn't know if anyone had experience O'ing regularly before and during use of Clomid, but then not after discontinued use. I am hoping that using Clomid did not screw up my cycle too much. TIA!

    Hmmm… I actually met the an RE today who tried to tell me that my son being conceived almost a year after I had done two rounds of clomid was a residual effect of using the clomid.  I had started acupuncture a few months after my two failed clomid cycles, and that got me o'ing.  I haven't heard of clomid causing people to stop o'ing.  But, cd21 isn't actually that late to be o'ing.  I wouldn't worry yet, to be honest.  A lot of factors could throw off o time.

    Thanks! That's what I was thinking too, I have ovulated as late as CD 23 over the course of the last year. If I haven't felt it/tested positive with OPK I will probably just go to the RE office and get my levels checked just to put my mind at ease of whether I didn't O at all, or just missed it with the OPK. Either way, we've been having sex every other day so if I did miss it, we are still covered. I just wanna know when I can stop the every other day business, I'm tired!
