Ovulation on clomid

[onelastsway]

Can I just ask - how did you all get clomid for swaying purposes only?

[Mommy2apples]

I got mine because I had a short luteal phase was ovulating way too late in my cycle. Some do get it online though or from a friend.

Thanks so much girls! I won't be buying any more opks but think I might phone my doctor on Monday and see if they will book me in for a day 21 progesterone test, just to check I've ovulated. The only thing I'm not sure of is how that will work because cd21 is a Saturday, they don't know I've got clomid either.
I could also buy a day 21 progesterone test from oxford online pharmacy but I'm not sure how accurate that is. Does anyone know? It says you get the blood sample from your finger. I just want to know I've ovulated before I take clomid next cycle.

I would expect to have ovulated tomorrow at the latest as my usual cycle is only 25 or 26 days.

Fx momma! Have you been doing e4d?

You will ovulate. The odds are sky high of that - I can count on one hand the number of people I've worked with who did not O on Clomid.

Your tests can go from lighter to darker normally, that's no biggie, but to further shed some light on what is happening, you can get positive OPK (FALSE positives!! I mean) for 3 full days after stopping Clomid. So if you were on CD 11, and have been taking OPK for 3 days - that means that you were still in that window of false positive OPK after taking Clomid!! So no wonder you were getting dark tests and now lighter ones - that is NORMAL!! In fact some ladies like to "test out" their false positives (so their tests go from pos back to negative) so they can be sure their real positive, when it arrives, is the real deal!!

Additionally, it is next to impossible (literally never happened that I have seen) for people to O through the Clomid. The soonest you generally will O is 5 days after your last dose (and I can count on one hand the number of people who actually DID O on that day, most have Oed later than the 5th day!!). You almost 100% cannot have Oed on CD 7, it's just not biologically possible because the Clomid prevents that from happening.

AAAAAA NO NO NO do not do this!! Your cycle will NOT be the same on Clomid, and your "21 day" test may not even be after O!! YOU DO NOT NEED to know if you Oed, just keep doing e4d!! I PROMISE you, nearly everyone has ovulated on Clomid and the handful that didn't (I can literally count on one hand) one of them had major fertility issues to begin with, another was starving herself, that kind of thing.

I just used the last opk, cd13 and still no lh surge? I finished clomid last Saturday. Im just going to keep going with e4d but feeling really deflated

That is NOTHING!! 9 out of 10 people will NOT ovulate until at least 5 days after stopping it. 5-10 days is the norm.

Thanks pink! I'm just so worried I won't ovulate and every negative test makes me feel worse. I'm on clomid for swaying purposes so no reason to imagine I won't ovulate, I have regular periods. I'm not going to do tomorrow's test because if I don't get a positive for my surge on cd13 I'll panic! Think I'll just keep with the e4d through to bfp/af

Stop. testing.

I wish you would have asked me what to expect before putting yourself through all this!! This is all totally unneccesary.

Thanks mommy2apples, I only have one more dose of clomid too but if I don't fall this month I'm not sure whether to use it next month as if there's another reason I'm not ovulating like I've lost too much weight then I don't want to waste the clomid!
I'm not temping I wouldn't have a clue where to start tbh! Is it too late to start now?

You do not need to temp (temping, just like OPK, is tricky on Clomid) and in fact I really think it would mess with your head more! You are fine, everything is all good here!

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of my panicky posts! Fingers crossed it'll all work out ok, I'll keep going with the e4d and forget about opk's.
