failed ovulation on clomid !!

hi guys well i failed to O on clomid this cycle, had it confirmed by blood tests, ive taken it 3 times in the past (3 years ago) and ovulated every time, the only thing different is i lost 7lbs on the LE diet, im a thin gender dreamer anyway i weight 108lbs now, could that of been why i didnt ovulate ?? my doc has upped my dose to 100mg now so im praying that it works, i did get a smiley on my clearblue digital had 3 raised temps and then they came down so i think my body did try to O just failed for some reason ?? has anyone else taken clomid and have it failed to make you O ?? any advise would be great im so upset by all this,

Losing weight can interfere in ovulation but sometimes it's just one of those things. It does happen sometimes.

No need to lose any more weight, just hold steady where you're at.

hi AS i pmd you i had a couple of questions in there if you have time to answer,

will 100mg upp my chances of ovulation ?

Yes, you may just need a stronger dose.

i hope so i ovulated on 50mg with the last 3 times i took it, maybe with the lost weight i need a bit more of it to make me ovulate ?

Sounds like it! That or age! Lol

Murphy's Law - when it can go wrong, it will at the most important time.

HOpe the 100 works for you. I feel like each cycle can be different!

well im 27 is that old lol ?

Calendar age doesn't matter, it's the numbers of FSH and AMH that matter for response on Clomid.

I personally believe you did not ovulate for other reasons than the weight loss, sometimes it just takes a little more to get things going. There are reasons why you aren't ovulating to begin with that have nothing to do with weight loss at all whatsoever.

i had all my bloods taken and everything was fine, all my levels came back normal thank god !!

In my experience personally i dont ovulate when i am stressed! I think you should on 100mg but definately dont lose anymore skinny minnie :)

lol sweet hun, i have lost another lb !!!!!! i dont know how but its gone i look like a bag of bones lol,

Do what it takes to stop losing even if you have to increase your cals.

How much are you weighing little miss? I am trying to hold where I am so I respond to the clomid and I am eating a lot of sweets, rice krispie treats, mike and ikes, milk chocolate, even cupcakes to hold at me weight. Maybe this could help?

Im trying to not lose anymore either i just lost another kilo too, i dont want to lose anymore so i added chocolate hoping it can help:omg:,i know its bad for a girl sway but im not bothered anymore i doubt eating chocolate will wreck my chances right:hide:

i eat some sweets and chocolate too but nothing seems to keep it on, my weight is 105 lbs now and i was 107 when i failed on clomid at 50mg, i was around 115 when i conceived both my sons on 50mg clomid, amari what is your weight at now and what cals/pro/fat/sodium do you stick too ?? did clomid make you ovulate last time if so what was the dose ??

I just wanted to chime in here - little miss and I have been chatting via PM and (hope you don't mind me mentioning this Little Miss) but she was eating less than 1800 calories. The FIRST thing you should do if you are losing too much weight, is increase calorie intake (keeping fat and protein the same, you may need to slightly increase sodium) to the upper limits of the 1500-1800 range. If you keep losing weight at 1800, you can then bump up to 1800-2000, but no more than that.

So do you do this by empty cals like soda and candy? I added too much cake lately I think b/c I started losing again and i got scared but then I just gained a lb and i didn't mean to do that either. (In the real world I wouldn't mind of course, but given I hope to O in the next 2-3 wks I just wanted to maintain). So I think all the cake was too much fat. Should I have just upped it by doing fat free candy instead?

I would prob. try to stick with just empty cals, but for people who are really having a hard time maintaining weight, you need to do what you need to do! If cake is what it takes, let them eat cake! ;)
