Question re: Clomid/ ovulation

[Bexy]

Hi Ladies

Wondering if any of you could advise me on something regarding ovulation days...

I'm currently on cycle 1 of Clomid and had two tracking scans this month - the first showed two good sized follicles and the second scan (last Friday 14th November) showed that they were gone therefore the nurse advised I had definitely ovulated.

I'm not temping (as really trying not to get to hung-up on the whole ttc thing!) but at my first scan the nurse thought I would ovulate on/by Thursday 13th November which it would appear from my scan on the Friday I did.

Anyhoo my question is: when would have been the optimum BD time? DH and I are not trying to get too caught up on timings although we went for it from last Tuesday to Friday but now I'm worried that we didn't do anything Saturday or Sunday (really exhausted from work/ studying and loads of other stuff) therefore could we have missed our best time????

Is it good to BD prior to ovulation so that the little swimmers are there to greet the egg or should it be anytime after ovulation?? Sorry if I sound like an idiot - did try and do some research online !!

Really hoping this month is the month - completely silly I know as Clomid isn't the miracle for everyone but hey gotta keep positive!!!

Any advice ladies?

Ta muchly!

Just read your post! I conceived with Clomid. And it was my First Round too, I didnt have a scan to see what the situation was i was just advised by my Consultant to BD every 2-3days and not to use OPKs etc.
It worked, i tired not to get hung up by it all and listened to the advise of my Consultant! Hope this helps and all the very best.
Sending loads of your way

The egg only lives for 12 hours, so the spermies have to be there BEFORE you ovulate. I would advise an OPK. When you get your peak...do the deed. Sounds like you are fine tho.

Thanks Carlyanne15 and congrats - you must have been so chuffed falling on the first month on Clomid! Wishing you a relaxing few months until the "big day" - which is incidentally my dads birthday!!!

Thanks too Jasmak - I will probably try the OPK's next month (if I'm not lucky this month for which I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed for!!!) as I agree it will give me more control over dates etc

Babydust to you all!!!!!!!!! xxx
