Clomid advice needed please

[angelmum31]

I have just finished my first cycle using clomid and am currently waiting for my af. My cycles are usually only 24-26 days long and I am now on day 28. I did a pregnancy test this morning but it was negative.

Anyway, my queries are:

1. Clomid made me ovulate late (day 18). Is this normal? I took it days 2-6. It seems that it, so far, has given me an lp of 10 days which is an improvement on before. Hoping af doesn't show for another couple of days to really lengthen it.

2. Has anyone else been seriously constipated since taking it?

3. My day 21 prog test scored 96.6 which I am assuming is ok? My fertility specialist isn't in clinic until middle of next week.

4. Does evening primrose oil work to increase cm? I have heard it can delay ovulation so is it worth taking alongside the clomid? I was very dry this month which is very unusual for me.

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for any advice

I replied to your other post, keep in mind your only 10dpo not everyone gets a early BFP. good luck!.

Since this is your first cycle, I would track ovulation and AF to see if clomid helped increase your LP... for future cycles if needed. You still have a few days before testing so any negative result until then may be due to taking tests early...Wishing you lots of luck!!!!

1. 1st cycle ovulated that late..every cycle after that it moved up earlier and earlier..last month ovulated on 14 dpo. I have heard that taking it 3dpo -7dpo can make you ovulate earlier that's the days I take it.
2. Clomid has ton of side effects...different for everyone..
3. If you are in united states that is a great score!
4. I have not used that oil but I do use pressed to help with the dry cm

Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone! I am in the UK, but from what I have read 96.6 is still a good score. My AF came today but I am really chuffed (I know that sounds strange) as clomid increased my lp to 12 days! I have NEVER had an lp of 12 days before (been as short as 6)! Going to start the tablets again tomorrow so am hoping this is my month.

I have conceive plus so am hoping this does the trick for me this month - and I will up my water intake x

Sorry about AF, but glad your LP is better! I think when you're used to not ovulating and irregular cycles, the improvements Clomid can make are amazing, even when they don't result in a BFP. Hopefully it means your BFP is close though!

1. Clomid made ovulation come earlier for me- CD15 or 16 instead of CD24 or 25.

2. I didn't notice any constipation. Luckily I didn't have any side effects (I was on 50mg)

3. I think that sounds good- the important thing is that it sounds like you ovulated!

4. I was dry too. I never got EWCM and just had a few gushes of watery CM 1-2 times a day for a few days around when I was fertile. We used Conceive Plus, though on him rather than in me as it's too slippery for OH.

I see you got your bfp, congratulations! I am now on cd10 and opk as negative as negative can be, am hoping ovulation may come earlier than last month but not holding my breath! I am relying on conceive plus so fingers crossed this is my month. Today is the due date from my mmc and still not pregnant
