Nancy asks…
pcos clomid lh surge timed intercourse?
I have pcos and iam on 50mg clomid
Iam on my 4th day of clomid and Iam doing cd’s 7-11
todays cycle day 10
when should i start testing for lh surge
should i test twice a day
and should we have sex everyday or everyother day?
Do we have sex the day we detect the lh surge, or wait until the next day?
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
I am pretty sure i heard that you are supposed to have sex right after the ih surge.

2. Jenny asks…
I”m on clomid 3-7 and got a positive LH surge on cd 15. Is it
possible that I ovulated already. today is cd17
I have mild pcos and trying to conceive for the first time. I have been tring to use the bbt thing
but my temp are all higher than 98.0. On cd15 my temp was 98.8 and had eggwhite cervical
mucus and a positive OPK test( LH surge) but the day after it dropped to 98.3( still good cm)
and it was 98.1 today. Is this normal? Is”nt my temperature suppose to saty up? I have used
the same thermometer for over a yr. Could it be affecting my temp. and making it erractic?
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
At first i thought “who posted my question here?” i too have pcos and today is my first round of
last clomid pill 3-7…Usually when u see an LH surge on opk, it means that u will be ovulating
within 24-36 hrs…It means that u might have ovulated yesterday, or little chance of today….Try
doing BD today so as not to waster ur month…I wish we all get our BFP’s this month….Good
luck…

Clomid confusion : Did I ovulate and could I be pregnant?
took clomid every morning at 10 am days 3-7. Starting on day 8, DH and I BD’d every other
night. (we used to do it every day for pretty much the whole cycle previous months) I also began
taking robotussin pills with guaifenesin as its only ingredient. I did this 3 times daily morning
afternoon and night. I also drank plenty water through out the day. On day 10, I started using
OPK’s and I also started to take my BBT. I went through 2 OPK boxes because I was testing
like a nutso. The first OPK was New choice, which is the dollar store brand; the kit comes with
20 dip sticks. I had all negatives until I used my last two sticks on the morning of CD 16. I
couldnt really tell if the sticks were for sure positive, but the test line had strong color compared
to all the others. This was at 9 am. Around 1 or 2 pm , I went and bought the clear blue digital
OPK. From drinking a tons of water, my urine was completely clear and not good for LH
testing. So I pretty much held off till like 6 or 7 pm to test. It was negative. Well I started feeling
Ovulation cramps on each ovary that night, but I was confused as I did not have a trace of
EWCM. I tested the next morning which was CD 17, and again negative. That night I had the
worst ovulation cramps on both ovaries that I have ever had, but still no EWCM. We continued
to BD every other day and I continued to use OPKs. We started to use pre seed but I was
getting nervous that this cycle was a bust. We Bd’d until CD 20 and for some reason after that
night I wanted nbothing to do with DH as in touching etc.( I still feel that way today which is cd
26). Well my BBT spiked on cd 18. So, I figured maybe I might have ovulated on CD 17. If thats
correct, I started having wierd cramps (close to ovulation pain) on 5 dpo. On 6 dpo I was still
cramping and I notice a tiny spot of blood on the tp.(sorry TMI) I checked myself to make sure i
didnt have a cut or something, and I didnt. That night, I was very irritable and everything
bothered me, my BB’s began to feel sun burned like. This continued on to 7 DPO and I actually
threw a temper tantrum because DH wouldnt get me tea from the store! That is not like me at
all! I felt like I was being a super beast! Yesterday, 8 dpo, I returned to my normal self. My temp
this morn was 98.45 and has been close to that since CD 18. So, based off that, one would
think I ovulated? Even though I had no EWCM whatsoever? My 1st round wasnt like this at all
symptom wise, so do I have a chance of being pregnant? Or because I did not have any EWCM
and did not used pre seed till after suspected O, I should expect AF and hope for better luck
next time? Please give me some insight!! I feel like I am going crazy!! lol

Wow, you probably could have asked your question in about 3 sentences or less.

4. Based on the info given, yes, it seems you ovulated. It would have been useful to provide your
pre-O temps starting on CD10, but guessing those were a lot lower, it seems you did have a
temp shift.
Yes, Clomid can dry up your CM. It’s a common side effect.
Yes, Clomid can give you painful ovulation, sore boobs, and horrible mood swings. These are
very common too.
Everything sounds about normal.
Good luck.
Donna asks…
I’m 28 no infertility and had my first IUI today with donor washed
sperm. I took clomid, and having bad cramps?
My partner and I decided to have a baby and we did our first IUI today with donor sperm. I have
no infertility issues, I’m 28, never have tried to get pregnant before. My day 4 blood work
showed high estrogen so they put me on clomid. Yesterday I Peaked on my LH test so today
we did the procedure. I have had bad cramps (pinching) that go to my back yesterday and
today. Is this normal?? What are my chances of getting pregnant the first time??? Why does it
hurt to bend over, it gives me a cramp???

5. Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
IUI can cause cramping but it should not last more than 24 hours. If you feel bloated in addition
to the cramping, I’d call the doctor, you could be hyperstimulating which is a bad side effect of
clomid.
Sharon asks…
IUI and clomid?
My husband and i have been ttc for almost 1 year..he had a vasectomy reversal and all my
tests came back fine..The doctor put me on clomid(100) for days 5-9 last month and i had a
positive lh on day 12 and IUI on day 13..They were able to insert 30 mil w/76% motility..drastic
improvement from what the semen analysis was showing..My question is this month with
holidays and everything i wasnt able to get into the doctor to get the clomid until day 6 so i
started it 1 day late..I know that the optimum time to start clomid is between day 3-5..I havent
gotten a positive lh test yet and am getting a little worried..it is now day 14..If I normally ovulate
on my own between day 15-17 and started the clomid late, is it possible that the clomid just
messed with my cycle and i will probably just ovulate naturally on my own this month..has
anyone encountered this problem when taking clomid..??
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
YES clomid will make your cycle a bit messy, when i got my clomid first prescribed i was already
5/7

6. on cycle day 4 (i take mine on day 2-6) i asked the doc wether to wait til my next cycle to start
and she said it made no diffence to my ovulation chance, it would just mean that my cycle would
all be later, she said once you start on clomid the clomid takes over your cycles so not to go on
your regular cycles at all.
Hope that makes sense and good luck xx
Susan asks…

I want my doctor to start me on clomid.What test would she want me to go through before
putting me on clomid?I already got tested for LH and FSH Hormone test which came normal.
Thanks for advice!
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
Ey, if you ovulate and have a fairly regular cycle aswell which it seems you do, i doubt you will
get it, maybe something else depeding on how long you been trying and history etc of you and
6/7

7. partner.
I got it for questionable ovulation and also for long cycles, every 42days. An i had been trying a
yr.
I wouldnt encourage it, the side effects as most will tell you are bloody awful, i took the
recommened 6cycyles and often you cant take more as it is high risks then for ovarian cancer
and cycsts! And im grtaeful i have been recieving treatment but not that it was Clomid – awful,
weight gain, heavier bleeding, more painful ovulation, dizzines, blurry vision, hot flashes,
extended and exaggerated PMS symptoms, and agonising boobs after Ovulation.
Good luckbut hopefully you are okay, if you Ov’d CD 17, your period isnt due for 14days
approx, as period comes 14days after Ov as a general rule, some up to 16 days, so prob a bit
too early to test?? Try again in a few more days if you can wait.
Good luck
