PCOS & Clomid

[louiserad]

Hi all,

Im just wondering how long your longest cycle has been with clomid?

Im on day 39 now, have done 2 tests (last one Thurs) but both

have had a look at my charts

Cy1: 50mg: 36 days
Cy2: 50mg: 30 days
Cy 3: 50mg: 41 days (m/c at 5.5 wks)
Cy 4: 100mg: 46 days
Cy 5: 100mg: 39 days
Cy 6: 50mg: 64 days (m/c at 8.5 wks)
Cy 7: 50mg: 50 days (induced with progesterone as no O and HSG scheduled)

Hope this helps

I meant to ask, have you had any monitoring with scans, or a day 21 progesterone test?

Thanks for your reply sparkle

Ive not had any further checks / scans as yet. The nurse has told me to go back for these on my third round of clomid but hopefully i wont need to go back.

I had lots of pregnancy symptoms and felt pregnant but lots of ppl have said that this could be the clomid. I stopped having the symptoms about a week and a half ago.

Have you had positives before on any other cycles?
I'd be inclinedto ring them, explain whats going on and ask if they can do a progesterone test to see if you ovulated, that way if you haven't, you'll be able to move on to another cycle. Also, if you are pregnant and it's just not showing on tests, your progesterone will still be high.

Yeah i will give them a call and ask them to see if i can go in for a test

Is it possible to be pregnant but for it not to show on tests?

I have been experiencing a weird movement in my stomach but wouldnt call it a movement. Its really hard to explain

It is very rare, but it is physically possible for the hCG not to get in to the urine system. Though if you've ever had a positive, this would be very very unlikely.

My longest cycle on clomid was 47 days, on 100mg. That was last month, been upped to 150mg this month to try to regulate things.

I just find clomid a bit crap really, hasn't made me ov regularly at all
