I'm currently on my second cycle of clomid 50 mg. The first cycle I got a positive OPK on CD19 and O'ed on CD20. I was so thankful for ovulation since I had only had one natural cycle in 10 months. My OBGYN did an ultrasound when AF came, and everything looked good... healthy lining, no cysts, etc. So she kept me on 50 mg and told me this time after I O to go in and get blood checked a week after O to make sure I'm O'ing. Anyhow, it's now CD22, and no sign of O at all. The OPK's don't even look close (there's not even really a second line at all!!!!) I temp too, so I think even if the OPK's missed it, I'd see it in temps. When I called and talked to a nurse, they told me to wait until AF came and then call them back. I tried to explain that if I waited until AF came, I wouldn't be calling until like May. So they said to call back in two weeks and they'd discuss what to do from there...
Is there anyone else out there that O'ed on the first cycle of Clomid and not on the second? I'm feeling very alone and mad at my body for not O'ing. I'm hoping to find some friends that have had a similiar experience... It's getting harder to be patient and watch time go by... :-(

I did on the 1st and the 2nd but not the third. AF came a week late with the first two and 3 weeks late with third so of course I thought I was nice and preggo (even with BFN's cause Im nuts like that) I hated clomid so much that we took a break for a while and will be trying it again in Feb. now that my OB has me on metformin to clear out the cysts. Unfortunately I have learned that the OPKs don't work with PCOS and I work nights so my temps are all over the place. Guess and "wait for AF" is a sucky game to have to play.

I was on 8 clycles of clomid, although i OV everytime, the amount of follies I produced varied. My point is that the dosage of clomid is not an exact science. You may need to be put on a higher dosage. I think 50mg is the lowest. Good luck

Yes, my guess is that if she puts me on it again, she'll try 100mg....

I had the opposite experience; I didn't ovulate in my first Clomid cycle, but I think I did in my second. My dr. just put me on Provera to get me to start my period, and then Clomid again. Ugh, it sucks, and I totally know what you're going through. the days seem soooo long when each one counts so much! Good luck to you Elizabeth, and I am here if you ever want to talk!

Well I am so glad I didn't listen to the Dr. She told me to stop using OPKs because this cycle was a bust. I ignored her and when I got home I got a positive OPK. I tested on two other brands just to double check.... I'm ecstatic! It's so nice to have another 'shot' at this! Third one this year.... :-)

I didnt O on 50mg. I am hoping to O on the 2nd round of 100mg.

Elizabeth, I also have been on clomid w/ irregular cycles or no O at all. I was trying to watch for O w/ test sticks & body temps but I was having a hard time & my cycle seemed to go on forever. I finally bought a First Response Fertility monitor & I love it! It shows your level of fertility & takes the guess work out. I just used it this cycle but wish I bought one sooner. You can check them out online, if your interested. I ovulate kind of late in my cycle & so does a friend who also used this monitor who is now preg...she was O'ing on day 19 or 20 & if you follow your Dr instructions to have intercourse every other day for days 10-20 you may miss your O....Good Luck with everything!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
