Sugar, Water and Hormones

Someone mentioned:

From what I understand you can recruit follicles for the next month when you've taken clomid. So maybe it's possible you ovulated while taking your clomid this month.

Thoughts?

No. Clomid blocks estrogen. The odds of that happening are - who even knows, but just to this side of impossible, and of the handful of people that this might have happened to (none of which I have ever seen or heard about from any reliable source), I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that it was user error, either they took the C at the wrong time of the month or skipped days.

Ok. Thanks! I'm convinced that i o'd on cd 14 or 15 as this is when I had o pain, which usually coincides with my o.

That makes much more sense to me too!!

Wow! Guess I did ovulate really early. Started spotting today at what I thought was 9 DPO.

Makes me sad cause I'll miss out this month too because I'm headed to New York for the week early Monday morning. Not back until Thursday night. 😂

CD1. I'll probably ovulate even earlier this month as with every clomid cycle, it's happening earlier and earlier. Not taking clomid this month, but yes I did ovulate on CD5 this past cycle so before I even took the 1st pill on the night of CD5. Has anyone ever ovulated during their menstrual cycle? How gross is that for BD???? Also, with the Clearblue OPK's, do you recommend FMU or SMU? Instructions say FMU but I thought it was best between like 10-2.

You did not ovulate on CD 5. That would have given you a 19 day luteal phase which makes absolutely no sense.

FF is not a magic oracle. It is a computer algorithm. It looks at the pattern of your temps (which are so unreliable on Clomid that many doctors actually tell people not to temp while taking it) and then makes up crosshairs that are a guess about when you ovulated.

There are two possibilities here both of which are by far and away more likely than an ovulation on CD 5 and a 19 day LP. One is that you had ovulated on CD 14 and had a short 9 day luteal phase. The other is that you ovulated more like CD 10-13 and a more normal LP. WE can't know which option is correct from here without more info but what I can tell you is that either of those scenarios is much, much more likely than ovulating through clomid and having a mega LP. It just doesn't make sense and I advise also running this past your doctor because I believe they will agree with this assessment.

Wow! Just got a pos OPK with Clearblue (flashing smiley, not steady). How long does it flash before going steady? This is gonna be gross BD during menstruation. I'm wondering how in the world semen could survive in it. I will start spotting tomorrow so that will help at least. I'm thinking of postponing my work trip. Maybe leaving Monday evening. That way we have tonight through Monday afternoon to go at it and prayerfully I catch it. Thoughts?
