Fast forward 6 months and here I am. This month I did Clomid 50mg/days 3-7 for the first time. I'm on CD16 and haven't gotten any positive OPKS (been testing since CD8), nor do I have other symptoms of ovulation (like EGCM). I'm pretty sure this cycle is a bust and I will have to be upped in dosage. But I just wanted to see if anyone has a good story about getting a late positive OPK (without CM!) so I can finish up the weekend with hope.

FYI, I'm seeing an RE and will get a progesterone test on CD21. This month I was not BBTing (he didn't want me "adding more stress") and not monitored with ultrasounds, etc.

Yeah dont give up! I didnt O either on 50mgs, I had to be upped to 100mgs, and 150 mgs. I got a +OPK around CD 17/18. I dont monitor with BBT either, it just stresses me out, but I just keep up with BD days on a calendar. Good Luck to you!

I'm the same way!! I feel bad that I don't do it but it is just too much work for me.

Don't worry about the lack of CM - Clomid can really dry you up.

As for ov, you should ov 10 to 14 days AFTER your last dose of clomid, you still have a few days left. xx

That is awesome, Pinkycat! Did you have ovulation symptoms at all (middle pains, all that jazz)? In other words, did you THINK you'd ovulated, despite the OPKs? Cuz I definitely don't feel like I have...

No, had no ov signs at all.
I was totally convinced the clomid hadnt worked, wasnt even going 2 bother with doing a HPT cos i was so sure it hadnt worked and was thinking ahead 2 next cycle but DH made me test and BFP.
