Clomid Question - Child mentioned in siggy**

Hi everyone, for those of you using Clomid, on what cycle day do you typically ovulate? Whether or not I use Clomid, I have always ovulated on my own, but the RE suggested I try a few cycles of 50mg. Regardless of Clomid, I have usually ovulated later, around CD 19-23. The RE did not see an issue with that, since my cycles are a little longer, anywhere from 30-35 days, and my period typically starts 2 weeks after I get a positive ovulation result. I had a yearly checkup with my GYN today, and she asked how things were going. I explained everything, and she thinks it's unusual that I ovulate that late in my cycle since I am using Clomid. The RE seemed to think it was totally fine, so my instinct is to trust her since she is the specialist. Right? Because now I'm wondering!

  • Thanks! My instinct was definitely to trust the RE since I asked that question specifically. The OB made it seem like with Clomid I should be ovulating on Day 14.

  • My cycle is like clock work and I ovulate CD12/13 on my own and on Clomid. Def trust your RE. It's been hard for me to put so much trust into someone, but I am learning.

    Fertility blood tests all normal
    Tilted uterus

    FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

    IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

    3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

    3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

    Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

  • I ovulate later than typical on Clomid.

    As you can see in my siggy, I conceived my daughter using Clomid, and I ovulated late that cycle, too. I always went through a ton of OPKs before finally getting a smiley. Good luck!

  • I almost always ovulate CD 14 with clomid but I have heard a lot of women say they tend to ovulate later. I would definitely trust your RE. They are the experts for a reason!

  • Since you asked.. I've done a lot of research on clomid and it seems like not everybody takes it the same - some people start on day 3 and some on day 5.. Why is this? And does it make you ovulate at a different time?

    I have noticed this too, but I'm not sure why. I think it's partly what your RE thinks is best? I'm sure there is a reason though!
