    I definitely think something is up hormonally with those long cycles, maybe PCOS? I think 50mg Clomid is just too low a dose for you thus why you didn't O until so late. But you had a nice long LP so I doubt your uterine lining was thin on Clomid. I just really think you need 100mg to O in a timely manner. I would consider telling your dr about your past clomid cycle so that he will give you 100mg now, otherwise you could very likely have another long cycle on 50mg. Good luck to you!

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Just read the short hand of that sperm meets egg plan and it says to bd every other day? Bd every other night Sways blue? I want to sway pink.
    If bding every 4th day what do you start the day af has gone?

    I had a letter from fertility clinic saying my treat
    Ment plan will be provea on Friday followed by clomid and if I'm not over stimulated then it's going to be timed bd.

    Does this mean they will be telling me to use a condom until they know if I o'd?
    Even if I can't bd does DH need to release every 4 days?

    SMEP should be left until later and you might not even need to worry about it. Normally you start e4d once AF finishes. Timed intercourse will probably be the dr doing a scan and then estimate how long until you will ovulate from it. They will probably say to BD every other day. They probably will want you to wait for the scan to make sure you aren't going to release lots of eggs, if you ovulated that late on 50mg before you probably won't suddenly get overstimulated but they don't know about that cycle.

    How old is your hubby and has he had a sperm analysis done?

    My hubby is 32, and he put a sample in on Tuesday we will know the results tomorrow. Though I'm think it's going to be good news for him as he is the father of my 3 boys and possible a girl from a different relationship, it took me a few months to concieve those 3 boys i had problems before hand started testing then it happened, but it never taken this long

    Hi all, went to see fertility consultant today, my hubby's is good. I confessed to taking 50mg last cycle and showed her my cycle on ff that it had not worked so we have now got a new treatment plan.
    I had to have another scan today and my lining was still thin.

    Treatment plan now is, contraceptive pill for 21days starting today then once I get my af I am going to take 100mg clomid, scan on cycle day 10 and if I'm ready to o I will recieve a trigger shot.

    I'm so bummed out I have lost another month.
    This will be my last try

    Why is she putting you on the pill? Did you tell her you're in a hurry to TTC? Honestly the Clomid would take care of the lining, there's no reason you couldn't start it immediately.

    The consultant looked through my cycles, show her when I took 50mg clomid and when I od on it she saw I did not have an af in November, she noted that I spotted for almost the last week, wanted to check how thin my lining had gone and said this is what she wanted me to do then I would be scanned often once I start clomid in 21 days. I was prob going to lose a month if I went ahead and said nothing and she just gave me 50mg clomid, the consultant and nurse seem to be very positive about it working by doing this. And I do have to follow this treatment otherwise I will not get the trigger shot as I won't be given it until I have my scan!

    Yes, the trigger is a nice bonus of waiting. I didn't know about the spotting, best to follow the plan then.

    I'm not sure why you can't just have provera for 10 days but I guess the dr knows what they are doing. BCP does have some pink sway too so I guess that is a bonus ( although I'm not sure 21days would do much sway but it's something )
    It is probably better than wasting more time on a longer cycle on 50mg of clomid so it's good you told them.
