When did you ovulate on Clomid? Day 10, Almost + OPK?

[atomic sagebrush]

Does taking Clomid actually increase your chances of having a girl? I have read that plenty of women have had boys on Clomid. Have 1DD who is 10 months and despite not BF for 4 months have still not got AF back. Have been prescribed Provera and Clomid but have not started taking either yet. DESPERATELY wanting a boy next time!

You can get a boy or a girl on Clomid, but we do believe (and studies have shown) that it sways pink overall. If at all possible, I would use Estrace supplemental estrogen and Preseed and Robi/Muci to make up for anything that the Clomid does in a negative fashion.

I am really disheartened with my first (and last I guess) Clomid cycle.
I thought I had ovulated on day 18 and then after many BFN's and consistent temperature drops I had a very light bleeding on day 33 of my cycle. I believed that was my period and even started another bbt chart for my new cycle. Well, the bleeding, which was kind of brownish like old blood (sorry, TMI) stopped the day after. I thought that was weird but blamed Clomid and got ready to start another cycle, without the Clomid. But then, all of a sudden my temps starting rising again. At first I had some hope that maybe I was preg after all, but it is now day 40 and all I had was BFN's. Looking at my chart now I don't even think I ovulated until day 35-36! By then I wasn't worried at all about Bd'ing, as thought my period was coming! Luckily DH was a bit pushy on the morning of day 35 for a quickie ( Now it seems like, if anything happened, that will be my only chance. I am so frustrated! I just wish AF would come so I could at least start again. I think Clomid and I are parting ways, 40+ days cycle with obscure OPK's is too much to handle!

I hope this is it for you! sometimes with pink swaying, it's good to have a reminder that women plan, and God laughs - what will be, will be...sending you a ton of pink dust.

Wise words. It helped me realise though that in the end I just want to get pregnant, much more than I want a girl. But that's what you get for messing up with nature, I suppose.
What will be, will be as you say, it just drives me nuts meanwhile. Hopefully this AF will happen soon and I am keeping my fingers crossed I did indeed O on day 35-36 as FF seems to believe, at least I know I DTD'd on day 35.

Oh, hugs! How frustrating! Hoping that Day 35 is the magic ticket for you this cycle.

Day 50 of my cycle and hurray! AF showed! I'm a bit disappointed I'm out this cycle BUT sooooo happy to get a proper AF after 50 days!!! Still in the very light/spotty side, but I feel it's coming.
Atomic, you said you wouldn't go with Vitex and SP this cycle, are you still of the same opinion considering the length of my clomid cycle? My usual is 27, LP 13 (exactly the same with Clomid), it was just the gearing up to O that took forever. After 50 days can Clomid still be in my system to consider it a sway aid?

I think even MORE so - if things are wonky, the last thing to do is add V and SP, 'twill be adding gas to a fire.
