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

[Girlfriend]

Can someone please explain are u taking clomid to help conceive a girl or do u actually need it?
If its to help with conceiving a girl how does it work and how to take it. Also did u just get a script for it from your Gp.?
I know two girls who where taking clomid to help conceptions and both are having girls so it must work?!

Hi Girlfriend. I am taking just for swaying purpose as I ovulate on my own. I went to my GP and told her I had been trying to get pregnant for over a year without results and she sent me to a specialist to did lots of tests that were all normal, so he prescribed Clomid for unexplained infertility. I feel a bit ashamed I had to lie but that was the only way I could get Clomid here, so please girls, don't judge me, at least I'm being honest with you

I got another almost as dark as control line result this morning. Maybe this is it! Will continue to test throughout the day. I'm on day 13 today.

Oh dont worry i will not judge. I'm so desperate for a girls i would do anything. I'm considering to do ivf but it's so expensive. i tried timing and diet with my second but it didn't work so i now have two boys. can u please tell me more about this method u r using and where can i read more about it. I'm very interested and would be happy to try. when r u supposed to take clomid? I work in a medical center so getting a script from my Gp shouldn't be a problem

I am also taking clomid just for swaying too! I too lied, said i was trying for a year and I got clomid no problem. Not only do i have it, but i got 6 refills. Pretty easy to get, its a joke! I am on day 10 today, and I am also being monitored and I am doing a shot, which I did hear helps sway. Who knows, we will see!!

I am taking 50gm (lowest dose) from day 3-7 of my cycle. I've heard the higher the dose, the more chance of cysts and twinning, so I decided to stick to 50mg. Doctor prescribed 100mg but I am cutting pill in half. You're not supposed to do anything else other than diet and folic acid while trying Clomid.

I had about 6 months of weight loss (still lots to go but don't want to wait any longer). Had 3 cycles on Vitex and last one on Saw Palmetto, I'm also on baby Aspirin. I dropped Vitex and SP and am now on my first Clomid cycle. DH is taking Cranberry pills, had soy for about 4 weeks prior and folic acid.

Make sure you read all essays before you make up your mind as to what to try. This website is an amazing source of information, if you are interested in Clomid there is a whole thread and topic written by Atomic explaining the hows and whys.

Good luck with your sway.

It sounds easier there GT77, I had to go through all the specialist talk and scrutiny. They are quite strict in Australia about prescriptions. In a way it was good as I needed to have my FSH tested anyway, as I am now 40.
A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. Hope you get your girl this time. x

Soooooo frustrating! An almost + line again with 3rd pee this morning, Day 14, really expected it to get darker, no luck, went lighter. I usually get my + late mornings though, so hoping I will get that + OPK tomorrow.

[aidansmum]

Panicked about missing my window and DTD on day 14! OPK's still show a very close to positive result this morning. It's confusing the hell out of me, they say sperm lives for up to 3 days so I have no other choice but have faith that my try last night will be fruitful. I am officially in my 2WW now...Yay!

the online calculators are just guessing based on averages. Please don't take them too seriously. you can ovulate sooner than normal or later than normal. Always take the OPK seriously (altho don't start testing while taking on Clomid because while you're on Clomid, you'll get pos. OPK no matter what)
