On clomid, when to test for ovulation

[alison011177]

Hi I am on metfomin and 100mg clomid, just took first cycle and now on cd7, last clomid yesterday. Is it too soon to test for ovulation?? Will I def have signs of ovulation?? my cycles are anything from 40 days to 140 days. I need to do a degree in this stuff

Are your doctors not tracking this for you? they should be doing blood tests and scans to see if its working right and youre not over reacting to the clomid (that can be dangerous)

Hiya

I am on my second cycle of clomid which I take CD2-5. I use the CBFM each month, and last month just had 16 days with high readings. From what I understand by the instruction booklet, the problem is that the estrogen levels can increase so much that it can block out the LH surge, which makes detecting ovulation much more difficult.

The hospital didn't want to do scans for me, as I am on such a low dosage mainly to give my ovaries a boost, and there is no risk of OHSS (or whatever its called). They told me that my ovulation date would be pretty much unaffected. To be on the safe side, we make sure we BD as much as possible from the day I stop the clomid until CD17 (as pre-clomid I ovulated on CD11 at the latest).

Hope that makes sense, and helps a bit.

Good luck on your tabs - let us know how you get on.

I always had blood tests on day 21 to determine ovulation...

I've been advised to just have my blood test on day 21 and thats about it, my consultant recomended not tasting for ovulation myself as it can all get too TECHNICAL and that she would prefer that we BD 2-3days
