Maiden Lauren usually o's cd14 - 16. Do you think she should start testing abit earlier than cd13 in case the clomid makes her o early? Maybe cd11 instead which is 4 days after last dose?

Clomid can make you O a bit later if you are and early ovulater normally. It is normally 5 to 10 days from last dose that you ovulate. Cd 11 would be fine. I started around cd12 and my last dose was cd9.

My RE told me to start opk testing on cd10 when I took clomid cd3-7.

I think it's fine to test before the 4th day after last dose but I would NOT decide when to BD based on a potentially false positive. As purple said, it is very unlikely she will O earlier on Clomid, if anything it makes most O later UNLESS they naturally O early (CD12 or earlier) most of the time.
Since Lauren Os at a regular time, CD14-16, and is taking Clomid CD5-9, it is extremely unlikely she will O before CD14. Most regular/not super late Oers will O 5-10 days after their last dose of Clomid, with around 7 days after being most common by far. It is very rare to O less than 5 days after last dose, more than 10 days after is MUCH, much more common. For Lauren, I'd bet on CD16 as most likely O day and even plan BDing so an attempt falls on CD14 or CD15 thereby aiming for O-2 or O-1 timing, which have by far the highest odds of conception.
There IS some confusion/controversy over when one can start OPKing on Clomid, with some saying the 3rd day like Pbn3 & Momamia mentioned and some saying the 4th day like myself. Whether the woman has PCOS, the time of day she takes her Clomid, the dose, individual metabolism etc can make a difference. For women without any PCOS tendencies, on 50mg taken right before bed, it's fairly unlikely to get a false positive (or any positive) on the 3rd day after last dose. So I REALLY think it will be a moot point for Lauren.
In that case I might do E4D, starting on CD6 or 7, so you end up with attempts on CD10/11, CD14/15, and CD18/19 in your potential fertile period. If you want you can add another attempt at CD22/23 to be completely covered. Whether you start on CD6 or 7 depends on whether you feel more comfortable aiming for O-2 or O-1, assuming you will most likely O on CD16, +/- a day. If you start on CD7, then you will have a better timed attempt if you O on the early side on CD14, so I'd maybe do CD7 over CD6. It also gives you better timing if you O a little late, on CD17.Quote:

Hi all. As expected AF arrived yesterday. Felt too crappy to come in here & update last night. Have come to terms with it today & am not dwelling on it anymore. Maybe this is the month it is supposed to happen. If I did fall pregnant this month my due date would be Nov sometime (depending on when I o). DD1 & DD3 birthdays are only 19 days apart. DD2 birthday is 24 November. Mind you I have to have a C-section so I would probably have baby at around 39 weeks. Well better stop day dreaming & get back to work. Keeping my fx for those who are in tww. I want to see some nice bfps.
Hugs farmgirl
🙏 for a healthy 🌈 🚼
