I'm on CD22.
Clomid round 3 50mg CD 2 - 6.
Metformin started (500 then built up to 1000mcg by CD12)
Have been using clearblue fertility Monitor and on CD15 had a peak result. On CD14, 15 and the morning of 16 i had quite intense left hand side lower abdomen/ovulatory pain.
CD21 Progesterone test came back very low (5.6). Last month it had been 9.3.

My question is this:
- Could i have ovulated on Day 15/16 and that is why my progesterone was low on CD21?
- Is it possible to NOT ovulate even though you have peak days using the clearblue fertility monitor?
- Is there any chance i could still have conceived?

I hate just being so unsure. I just wish i had a normal cycle.

Thank you for your help.

hi,
it is possible we fail to ovulate even after positive opks as it detects lh surge.. only way to be sure of ovulation is temping.. which can confirm ovulation..
and progesterone test is done on dy21, i.e. 7dpo as by then level gets raised up normally ..if u ovulated on day19-20 then they can be low on day 21 surely..
and yes may be u can concieve with low progesterone too.. i remember someone on the site that she concieved in the cycle with low progesterone on day21 as she ovulated on day 28.. then got bfp on day 40..
remember one is not out untill af shows up..
gud luck and lots of baby dust...

Thank you. I think if I did ovulate it was probably around 15-16. We DTD on 10,12,14 and 15. The thing that has really confused me is how strong the abdominal pain was during 15-16. Fingers crossed.

ttcasap- I am so, so sorry

Can anyone tell me if o symptoms are exaggerated After a round of clomid? I' m almost finished w/ my first of 100 mg CD 2-6. I haven't had many s/e. Hot flashes and slight pinches/cramping. Will I feel swollen or have more cramping as I get closer to o? Than in advance!

Yes it does happen, not to all but some of us have had similar issues. I didn't get the hot flashes but the bloating, and tender abdomen and such yes. I got worse on my first round 100mg than on my 50 mg round.

Sorry I have been away for so long, but I was scheduled to HSG done Monday Aug. 6, but my mom had a major stroke and passed away the following week so no HSG until this past Friday. I got good news with a slight twist, tubes are GREAT, uterus is retroverted, DH is going for his SA this week, so I'll know what's going on more the end of next week. So far no BFP for us, but we'll see. I didn't have clomid last round or any testing Dr was trying to be considerate of my situation with Momma, but AF arrived a few days early this time around and I know I O'd thanks to the pain. No clomid this round either we'll see if things continue on a good pattern from here on out. Best of luck to everyone and Baby dust to all.

ohh very sad to hear abt ur mom, May Allah rest her soul with peane in Heaven

Good luck for you dear

did follic size impacts for positive pregnancy??

hi ladies. so i started clomid up again this last cycle, days 3-7. ovd cd 15, and at 14 dpo started bleeding. only lasted a day though which is wierd. i was on 100 mg. had horrible symptoms. vomiting, nauseu, migraines, sore body everywhere. my cramping was horrible and i bled kinda heavy for me in that one day. when my dr did an U/S on 10dpo she said my lining was thin. so could that explain why my af was so short? do you think its possible that the clomid is what caused the thin lining? I would be starting my next cycle today, but im hesitating. I got pg in march after 3rd consecutive clomid cycle, but it was ectopic. i am soo confused by my body right now i dont know what to think or do.

I have read that clomid can thin your lining, but I think that's more common when you've taken it 5 or 6 months in a row. I had a cycle like that a while ago, early in our ttc. It was really confusing b/c af was like a week late and stuck around for only that one day. That made me hold on to the hope for longer than necessary and feel ridiculous. How silly to think it'd be that easy!

thats exactly what im confused about! they raised my dose from 50 mg to 100, and when they did my u/s at 10dpo my uterine lining was already really thin. i didnt start af til 5 days later, which tells me my lining was too thin to implant anyway. my dr never even called me back today! so im not going to take the clomid and see what happens on its own. ive already had issues w clomid. blurry vision, migraines, nausea, ovarian cysts, thin lining and ectopic pregnancy. maybe my body is trying to tell me something? im going insane trying to figure it out

yes, clomid can thin the uterine lining. when that happens, the egg won't stick or if it will, it won't hold and you miscarry. I'm on my first round of clomid/seraphene and I have my pelvic ultrasound to check my uterine lining tomorrow at 9 dpo.

[lilyV]

hello, firstly i would say that u can wait for ur periods.. normally clomid is given to regularise AF.. if u have regular periods then few gyne gives the clomid for strong ovulation and healthy follicles without check up.. I was checked by blood work and usg..prior to clomid .. u can go for all check ups next cycle.. good luck dear..

friends..

did follic size impacts for positive pregnancy??

yes the follicle size affects pregnancy chances.. a healthy follicle should be 20mm in diameter on release for proper fertilization..lots of baby dust dear..

Hi Aein
What country are you in? I think different countries seem to have different practices. I have friends overseas that have been prescribed Clomid by their general doctor without any follow-up. Here (in Australia) we go to a Fertility Specialist and they do tests beforehand & monitor your body's reaction to the drug.

thank you! i am relieved that theres options out there. this cycle my dr is putting me on progesterone cream, and estrogen to thicken the lining and to help w my hormones. ive had issues in the past w not having enough hormones to sustain pregnancy so i hope it helps. my dr is also concerned that my tube may be blocked from my ectopic. they want an us on cd 12 too. and if this cycle doesnt work i have to have a procedure done to clear out my tubes? its like 400 dollars she said. i can only use clomid one more time after this cycle so i really hope it works this time!!!
