Having been on clomid for three cycles, I can honestly say that your period could just be late or you could very well be pregnant. I know that doesn't help, but each month that I took it, my period was 4 to 5 days late and I had every PG symptom in the book. You just won't know until you either get a positive HPT or AF. Good luck!

So, to clarify, you were starting AF 18-19 DPO? Or was your ovulation running 4-5 days late? Were you having lots of CM, or did you dry up before
AF? Thanks for your response! Good luck to you, too!

Hi kclarkadpi, Tracy88 is right. You just won't know until you get a +hpt or AF. Having a +LH surge on the opk doesn't mean you will ovulate that day. Remember it says that you will ovulate within the next 24 to 48 hours. I was told that it's 14 days before AF that we ovulate. I was also on Clomid for three cycles, the first 2 cycles were 33 days long. I was having pg symptoms but -hpt then AF came. Today I'm cd19 on my third Clomid cycle and still with no LH surge. I do hope your AF won't come and will have a +hpt instead. It's just probably early to check that's why you're getting a negative result. Good luck!

kclarkadpi.....yes, that's right. On clomid I would ovulate around cd 14 or 15 and get AF on about cd32 or 33. I normally have 28 day cycles, but clomid made my cycle longer. In the TWW or luteal phase I always had tons of creamy cervical mucus. I thought I was PG each month, but NOPE. It worked for my sister on her second cycle, but did not work for me at all. I was not monitored very well, so far all I know my lining was too thin or something. Best wishes.

Hi Kclarkadpi. Clomid, as Tracy88 said can cause your cycles to get longer (it can lengthen the leutal phase), but usually by just a few days. Truthfully I'd suggest if AF still hasn't come by mid-week I'd suggest getting a beta done at your dr's office. They're more sensetitive than most HPTs esp. in your case since with your 1st pg you didn't generate enough HCG to get a + til your 4th week. Good luck. Keep us posted.

Thanks for you input. It really helps to hear from others!!! I went today (Monday) and took a blood pregnancy test at local lab, and it came back negative. According to my calculations, AF is 4 days late (but I guess I might have ovulated later than I thought or something). This leaves me more confused than EVER! I'm still having symptoms, and I really do feel pregnant. Is it possible that it's just still too early to show up on a test? AF still is showing no signs of being here...(I keep hoping that since it took so long with my 1st pregnancy to show, it'll happen again...but that was with HPT, not blood tests..).

Now I"m 7 days late. Still same symptoms, no AF, all tests BFN. ????????????????????

kclarkadpi, did you have a progesterone level check on cd21? I had one done with my Clomid cycles to check whether I did ovulate or not. They want to see to see a result of 15 or more with Clomid. I had one done last Monday and the result is only 1.48 so I did not ovulate with my third Clomid cycle. I'm now on cd 24 with no signs of af coming soon.

manyika...no I didn't have my proges. level checked. I'm assuming I did in fact ovulate because an OPK showed I was going to, and I had EWCM and ovulation cramping around the same time. So, if you're on CD24, does that mean you haven't ovulated yet, or you just simply won't ovulate this cycle? And, do you know anything about Clomid regarding if you DEFINITELY will start your period around 14 days after you ovulated (when you're pretty darn sure you did)? Shouldn't I have either started by now or be pregnant? Once again, AUGGH! I'm going nuts!
