I'm currently cd5 on my 4th round of clomid starting today. I'm praying that the dosage of 150mg is going g to be what it takes for me to ovulate before CD 21.
What is the difference between taking clomid on CD 5-9 vs. 3-7?
What has your experience been?
We will be doing IUI after an emotional rollercoaster with ttc.

Last month was my first cycle on clomid days 3-7 and I ovulated on day 13.
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I'm currently ovulating day 20. It's been rough.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
I wasn't ovulating at all without the clomid. On day 10 now and waiting for ovulation. I'll let you know what day I ovulate this round.
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 definitely keep me posted. What does are you taking? I want ovulating either. Still hardly ovulating. This is my second dose of 150mg of clomid. Doing Famara after this dose of I don't ovulate more regular this cycle.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I started at 100mg they said they wouldn't change that since I did ovulate
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I did 50 one cycle and didn't ovulate. Did 100 two cycles and ovulated but my levels were only 4 and should be 10 or higher so they increased it to 150 now for two cycles.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer by levels do you mean 21 day progesterone? Mine was 7 and when I asked if that should be higher they said anything above 3 meant that I ovulated and the doctors were happy with that.
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 yes 21 day progesterone. They won't do my IUI unless it's above 10. He said I just barely ovulated.

@ashbrewer I hope this helps for you!
Ashley Brewer·
@angikay Thank you! Fingers crossed for sure.
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 same to you lady! Lots and lots of baby dust!
Anne·

@ashbrewer thank you 😍

Just an update I'm currently still waiting to ovulate on CD 15. Haven't gotten a positive opk yet and it's driving me crazy lol
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 fingers crossed! I'm CD 11 today and my lines are close.
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 they have never been this close this early EVER
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer mine have been all over the place I'm going in for vaginal ultrasound today
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I'm thinking they may have to increase my dose next month. I'm scared I'm not gonna ovulate this month
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 how did it go? Your ultrasound! It may just happen later in the cycle.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer they said I didn't ovulate yet, and they found five follicles instead of only two like I had before. So I'm hoping that's a good sign 😍
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
Have you taken another opk yet?
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 yes, it was faint unfortunately. Better luck tomorrow!
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 that's exciting!
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer thanks! I'm gonna keep checking opks and temps and hopefully it will happen soon
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer hopefully the lines get darker for both of us tomorrow 🤞😍
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I gave up on temps. It's to stressful for me lol. I'm literally to OCD and obsess over everything and it gives me anxiety. So I gave up and just do the OPK's
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I totally understand that! I obsess too
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
It's getting closer
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
The line is much darker today
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 that's awesome!!! I forgot to test this morning and this afternoon my line was faint again. So stressful.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer it's best to test early afternoon and evening
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I almost missed my peak last cycle by testing in the morning. I randomly decided to test that evening and caught it. It was a short surge.
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I generally test around 10:30 and 5 or 6 pm. Praying to my lucky starts that today or tomorrow is the day!
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer that's when I try to do it too!! So far today my lines are lighter. I just hope I actually ovulate this cycle 🤞
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 my lines are lighter too. I'm hoping tomorrow is the day. I may add in some supplements next cycle to see if it helps. My hot flashes are a real struggle. I hardly slept last night they were so bad.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I started a bunch of supplements this cycle so I wonder if that's why I'm taking so long to ovulate...idk
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer let me know how today's lines are 😀 I've only got one cheapie test left so I gotta use it wisely
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
Mine are still negative 😢
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 mine are still negative too! I'm feeling pretty discouraged.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer well, know that you aren't alone. Which day are you on?
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I'm on CD15
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer CD 21 still no peak had Labs drawn today awaiting results 😢
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 my cm is changing and it seems like I'm going to ovulate but still nothing. I'm so frustrated. Hopefully before CD 20 at least.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer my app says I'm no longer fertile
Ashley Brewer·
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 mine says my fertile window starts today. Do you use ovia?
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer no I use fertility friend
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
It changed once I added cm
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer update??
Ashley Brewer·
Today I have egg white cm. Just waiting until this evening to test again. This mid morning my lines were present but still faint. Cd18
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 see above lol
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 what do you think?
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 so I'm here for cd21 draws and they dont have my orders. I talked to the doctors nurse today and they said they were sent. I'm literally so pissed I could scream.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer so sorry I missed that, it was very close hard to tell exactly
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I'm sorry about your labs ☹️ I was non ovulatory this cycle 😢
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I raised hell and they did them. I also think I didn't ovulate. I'm pretty sure I may be ovulating now. 🙄
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I hope you are
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
I stopped checking, my cm changed so I figured my shot was over... On to the next month as soon as AF arrived
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I didn't ovulate either. They said my progesterone was 4.6. But that anything below 10 is questionable. Next cycle we are doing Femara and an ultrasound.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I have to have a scan too. Then they will decide the plan. I thought AF started Tuesday but then stopped later that day so I'm currently just waiting
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 is it possible that you ovulated late and it was implantation?
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer my temps never showed ovulation. I just started spotting again. I may need to take progesterone maybe
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer how are you doing? I'm still waiting for AF. I've spotted for 3 days but still haven't started. Gonna call Monday if she doesn't show.
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I'm on CD 26. No sign of AF yet but she has been showing around cd33 or 34
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I'm on day 31 hoping it shows in the next couple days
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer started progesterone again so I can have a period
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I should start my period tomorrow or the following day. If she doesn't show I'll be starting procera CD 35 which is Monday!
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I started mine on day 36
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 I started today. My cycle was 32 days. Today would have been cd33.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer I'm still on progesterone waiting to start
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 oh no! That's terrible.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer the mood swings are awful
Ashley Brewer·
@drgnfly712 same here. I've literally been on edge so bad.
Anne·
Мама сына (8 лет)
@ashbrewer me too. I'm ready to try something different
Anne·
Мама сына (9 лет)
@ashbrewer how have you been?
