Does anyone know when you are supposed to ov with Clomid? I took it 5 years ago when TTC my son and looking at my diary from then I had AF 5 Oct so took Clomid 6-10 Oct but I did a test on 1 Dec (I was having 70+ day cycles!) and it was -ve and when I tested again on 29 Dec it was +ve and then a scan in Feb showed I was nearly 15 weeks. My due date was 1 Aug so when did I conceive?

Its just that I am TTC again and thinking about what will happen when I see the endo and he puts me on Metformin again (I have PCOS) and I was wondering if the Clomid I had in Oct that year had any bearing on me getting pg? Does Clomid make you ov at a certain time? I was having reflexology at the same time and wonder if this and Met was what helped me get pg? So confused as I can't remember small details but my diary is very accurate and I remember the -ve test on 1 Dec then the +ve on 29 Dec clearly!

Cheers

Hmm, was trying to copy my thread into the Clomid one but it didn't work!

Can anyone help?!

that would have made your conception date around the first or second week of November, so I guess you would have ovulated about a month after taking the clomid. Seems like a long time - I thought you were supposed to ov about a week after taking it!

that's worked out on your due date, by the way. THe -ve pg test must have come when you were about 3-4 weeks pg, which is round about the time you'd begin to expect a +ve, so you may have only missed knowing earlier by a couple of days!

Thanks KC. That's what I had worked out but wasn't sure if I was doing it properly! I didn't test again all of December as assumed it was another long cycle! Nearly fell over when I tested after xmas and then felt a bit cheated as my scan in Feb showed I was nearly 15 weeks and I had him at 27 weeks!!!

I would have thought Clomid would make me ov a lot sooner than 4 weeks later so hopefully it was the Met and reflexology that worked!

Thanks!
