Need some advice:
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for two years, my consultant put me on Clomid and I have just finished my first 50mg dose (the doctor carried out all the fertility tests and they all came back clear!)
I had my scan last Tuesday to see if I had released any eggs and had released 2!
What are the chances of me getting pregnant on my first month of Clomid?
My period isn’t due for another 2 weeks, will I have to wait until then to do a pregnancy test?
What are my chances of having twins because I released to eggs?
Any advice, stories or comments would be great!!!

Eight follicles on Clomid alone is unlikely, but not impossible. Whether or not to proceed with intercourse, IUI or to cancel the cycle depends on factors such as patient’s age and patient’s past treatment history. In other words, if this is the very first time in your life that you ever ovulated and you are 22 years old, I would most likely cancel the cycle for fear of triplets. However, if you have failed multiple cycles in the past and are 41, I would be thrilled and go all out to try and make this pregnancy happen! Good luck!

Need help and advice re: clomid and over stimulation. First cycle was on 50 mg and second cycle 100 mg. Now doc says I’m overstimmed, I have 8 follicles now and she didn’t give me the injection. Said I still have a good chance of getting pregnant w/out injection. Anyway, she said to take OPK but I still haven’t seen a positive result. They thought I would have ovulated last week. Now I feel some pain and abdomen feels tender and bloated. Do you think I will ovulate soon or not at all? If follicles are large enough and you don’t ovulate is that not good? Any advice would be appreciated.

This is what hapened to me with clomid. I was married for 6 years, cacasion… at 25 I wanted to have a baby, so i stoped taking my birth control. and tried by having intercourse with my husband, I didnt end up pregnant that month, so i did a internet search, and found out i could have a better chance by taking lomid, so with out seeing a doctor, i ordered 100mg clomid and it was sent to me from India. I took it for the 5 days, and was told that i would prob ovulate about 7 to 10 days after my last pill. I live in NY and never cheated on or even thought about doing so, the day after my last clomid pill, i went shoping, i stoped by a gas station, and got gas, went in and had to use the bathroom, while waiting for my turn, a black male started talking to me, before i could even relize what i was doing, (like my body took over) i was in the mens restroom, with the black male behing me doing the unspeakable… when i got home i was like what is going on with me. i never cheated again, i belive this (clomid drug) made me feel so worked up that i let this stranger have me, not even knowing any thing about him, name or nothing. well i blocked it all out.. 4 days later i started having intercourse with my husband.. ended up pregnant. (with triplets) nothing never crossed my mind. I had my babies, they were all real dark black when born. my husband left me, and i dont even have a clue as to there father. so another words, i ovulated the very day after my last pill. i had never heard of this.. i know have 3 babies, but hurt the rest of my life trying to explain to my family and friends how this happened. when I dont even understand myself. has any one else heard of this hapening? thanks for listening Holly N.Y.

Started clomid 50mg in april 09-non ovulitory. 100mg june -non ovulitory. finally july prgesterone level indicates ovulation but no conception, now this cycle repeates clomid 150mg with negative pregnancy test and missed period (5days late). I am assuming i didnt ovulate because of no period,but didnt have progesterone level checked because md didnt think it was necessary. Im wondering what the likelyhood that I did or did not ovulate after second cycle of previous ovulatory dose. And if not what is the next step?

Katie, starting out with unmonitored Clomid is a reasonable way to begin, given that it has worked in the past. However, if it hasn’t worked after three cycles, it might be time to consider doing one monitored cycle or moving on to other options.

Hello,
Im on my 7th round of 150mgs of Clomid CD3-7. Im currently on CD 20 & got a positive OPK today…My cycles are very irregular. I started 150mgs of Clomid in Dec 08 & my cycles were 26-29 days long, until I took a month off from the Clomid in Feb 09..I then had a 48 day cycle that had to be brought on by Provera.(Im assuming my body got thrown out of wack from stopping the Clomid one month Correct??)After I started my period from the Provera, I continued with the 150mgs of Clomid each month. My cycles became longer. They are now anywhere between 32-37 days…My Lutel Phase is 14days & I seem to be turning an OPK around the right time. (I think) I calculated back last month (June)14days from the start of this months cycle(July 8th) & I turned a positive OPK on exactly 14days from the start of my period on July 8th. Ok, now that Ive given you a run down of whats been going on with me here are my questions:
1.- Does this mean Im DEFINATLY ovulating??? I have not been getting any B/W nor U/S done. I have just been taking the Clomid & doing OPK’s with timed intercourse.
2.- What is my success rate of acheiving pregnancy this month?? Are my odds high because Im on my 7th month?? Or does this mean thr Clomid is not working for me??
3.- I got pregnant w/my 1st baby after 3months of doing exaclty what Im doing now,but sadly lost the baby @ 15wks. I then got pregnant with my now 4 1/2 yr old son doing the exact same thing as Im doing now as well. Why is it taking longer this time around??
Do I need to be swithched to something different to acheive pregnancy?? If so, what medication would be my next option???
Thank you so much, I cant wait to hear back from you so I can have some understanding as to whats happening with me.
I really appreciate it,
Sincerely,
Katie -TTC Baby #3 for 17months (7months of 150mgs of Clomid on CD3-7)17 BFN’s….Really ready for my BFP!!!

Clomid mainly acts in the cycle that you take it. It might help you ovulate in the cycles that you take it, but after you stop, your cycles will revert back to their original state.
