So I'm freaking out a little bit. I started this cycle thinking that I would go all natural - but I went in to talk to the doctor on CD12 and they did an u/s and I swore I was about to OV - but nope - nothing was there :(
So we went for round #2 of Clomid and reset cycle to CD5. Last cycle at 100mg it worked (triggered on CD16) - but ended in chemical pregnancy. So here we go again. Because of costs - we decided we would chart temps and take OPK's to find out when I OV and then come back a week later for progesterone tests. So I start taking tests the day I finish the Clomid (CD9) - I've taken them everyday since (sometimes 2x a day) and every time there is a clear 2nd line - sometimes almost the same color even - but never darker - so no clear surge. And also no rise in temps. I'm now on CD20 and no indication of ovulation. But having lots of cramps on and off (and lots of BDing!)
So my questions to you wonderful ladies - is it possible to ovulate this late in the cycle? is it normal for Clomid to take this long? I called the RE and they said to come in - so I'm scheduled in the AM - but I'm so worried that it's a waste of my time.
Advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am so sorry that you are having such a rough time. I can't answer your questions and didn't read your post till after your appt. How did that go? I hope that your RE is able to get you back on the right track.

Ok, I took chlomid for 3 cycles, and I believe that I was too quick in ovulating, cause after day 20 and my RE took my blood, i was already low, and within a couple of days of that I got my monthly cycle. This month we did the Femara with the IUI and I go Wednesday to have my progesterone level checked. Every woman's body is different, but my RE was able to tell each cycled I was on chlomid when it looked like I was ready to ovulate. I don't know if this helps, but there's my advice on it.

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
