New Member - Clomid Question

[Amethysta28]

Hi Everyone,

I'm brand new to this forum and am happy to know I have such supportive, informative people to be in the company of! I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice...I'm on my second round of clomid (this one at 100 mg, last at 50 mg) and am approaching day 26 of my cycle. When do you suggest I test? I'm so anxious to and my DH wanted to last night but I told him to wait until at least tomorrow. I feel like I might be getting my AF as I've been feeling a bit crampy the past two days, but usually when that happens, my AF will quickly follow and that hasn't happened...any advice?

Thank you!!!!!

Amethysta

I would wait until AF is due to arrive or one day late. I have tested early to then be disapointed
I am on my 3rd round of 50g clomid...hoping this is my lucky month.

How long are your cycles normally? I would give it another couple of days but it is up to you hun. Have you had any tracking? Do you know how many follies you are producing? xx

My cycles were typically 27-28 days up until the last two months where I had 22 and 24! Not sure if my anxiety caused my AF to occur earlier, but def had too short of a luteal phase. I do ovulate regularly but doc put me on clomid to see if it would help my luteal phase lengthen and no not monitored, unfortunately. Am tracking ovulation though with my OPKs.

Thanks for the responses!

Ok hun. This is just the worse part of the cycle... I know!

Fingers crossed for a lovely BFP this cycle! Let us know how you get on x

 

[Amethysta28]

Thank you so much! Fingers crossed for all of you too...

Do you know when you roughly ovulated? If it's more than 10 days ago there's a good chance a First Response test will show already! good luck

Hi! I first spotted an ovulation indication using my lol on the 21st of this month. So tomorrow would be either day 11 or 12 past ovulation I believe. So I will test tomorrow and pray for a BFP but I don't know cause I do have a bit of cramping these past couple days so I am thinking it is my AF. Unless light cramping
Is normal?

Any news chick? xx

My RE told me to try to wait until CD 35 before testing on my second round of clomid. I, being a POAS-aholic couldn't wait that long, and I started testing at 7DPO. I got BFN's until 13 DPO when I got a BFP on a clearblue digi with FMU (1 day before AF was due).

Good luck!!!
