I took clomid 50 mg days 5-9 last cycle. I went in to the dr on day 21 for progesterone testing to see if I ovulated. I chart too (on fertilityfriend.com). I knew I had not ovulated by day 21, but I did ovulate on CD 25. Has anyone else heard of this? The dr upped Clomid dosage to 100 mg this cycle. I am now on CD 11. Do you think I will ovulate that late again, or that the upped dosage will help me to ovulate in the normal time frame? Thanks.

this was my first cycle clomid, and i went cycle day 21 and they said i didnt ovulate yet on the sono, no signs, then called me with the blood and said i did bu not in the time frame i was suppose to, i was scared we missed it all together. so we shall see. but similar situation, i thought i did, but then i ovulated about 1 week and 1/2 after the clomid.

When on clomid, you should ovulate between 5-10 days after you take your last pill. If you are ovulating much later, you didn't have a good response. Upping the dosage may help but it's not guaranteed.

hi ladies. i also took my 1st cycle of clomid (50 mg) on days 5-9. i'm now on day 18 of my cycle but still haven't detected ovulation. i barely began temping this month, but i'm confused about OPK's. i was using Answer and was so excited when i got a + last wednesday, but when i used clearblue that same day, i got a neg. get this...i'm still getting +'s using Answer, so i'm thinking the test is faulty. i wonder if having PCOS affects the results using Answer brand. it is 9 days after my last clomid pill and i'm beginning to wonder if i'm gonna ovulate this month. any advice/suggestions/experiences, ladies? baby dust to us!!! ~*~*~*~*

Hi Ginger, I'm currently taking clomid too (100mg). I always thought it would help me ovulate on days 12-18...but I believe I ovulate later than I think. Someone told me they ovulated late too (around day 26) and they got pregnant. I'm trying to TTC later than we normally do this month. Good luck to you...

this is my second month on clomid and i havent yet gone in for progesterone testing. But the first month I took 50mg and I didnt even ovulate. This month I took 100mg doses and I ovulated on day 16. My doctor told me not to worry it sometimes takes a few months.
