hello... can anyone shed any light? i have pco and have been ttc for 5 years. i am in my first cycle of clomid (day 14) and had a scan today. They said i have 3 big folicles on one ov and one big one on the other....so triplets would be likely! i dont understand fully tho....i thought i ovulated 2 days ago (day 12)...clear, stretchy stuff in pants and pain in ov but the scan showed the folicles so i couldnt have ovulated yet, which is really disappointing as my hubby is away now so no more getting busy! we got busy from day 11, 12 and 13 but am now thinking i may not ovulate as today is 9 days after taking clomid....oh how confusing...i'm giving myself a head ache....oh no...thats clomid!!! anyone have a suggestions for me?! ps have had an ache on the left ov since day 12.....

Hi babymadness sorry i havent got much info on PCOS but i am on my second month of clomid.

I have heard you should start getting busy 5 days after your last clomid tablet, i.e. if you take clomid on days 2 -6 then you should BD from day 11 , and i would try and do it every other day for 10 days.

I havent had any follicle scanning , i did ring up today and asked for it but the doctors receptionist said its not necessary!!

Also i had quite bad stitch pains last month in my ovaries, and this is a sign of the clomid working. I ovd around day 14 last month ( i used the ov sticks )

Hope this helps a little bit!! Good Luck and fingers crossed the clomid works for you!! There are lots of success stories out there xx

Why have you only just started on the clomid if you have been ttc for 5 years? It was prescribed for me as soon as I was diagnosed with pcos and then there were no scans after the initial diagnosis. That was 15 years ago though.

My suggestion is calm down but keep trying at every opportunity - never mind whether you are ovulating or not.
