Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Dear archie,
I've been trying clomid & metmorfin b'cas of my irregular periods.I failed to ovulate on clomid 50mg,Dr. prescribed me clomid100mg(CD5-CD9) for last month & I ovulated on it & failed to conceive.For this month i've been trying the clomid100mg (CD3-CD7) and i'm in my CD-21 of this month & since now there is no big shift in my BBT chart.My question is that how many CD-days a person under my circumstances wud've to wait & see whether ovulation taking place?.Normally,on between what CD-days ovulation wud be taking place?.Is there any supplement i can take to improve the clomid dryness.Is there any chance that a person once ovulated on same strength of clomid may not be on the next cycle?.Please archie,please do answer me.Please.......

relax first of all. Besides your irregularity in periods and clomid mediated vaginal dryness you are also suffering from hyperstress. This might have been created by situations, fact of irregular periods or you geting anxious day by day to get pregnant. Regardless of cause behind there is no need to overly stress yourself as that's not solution to improve fertility.

Clomid is not a miraculous drug for everybody. It may or may not work. I kow cases who went through 6 cycles and failed to conceive.

Usually on clomid one would ovulate around cd14, given that health is fine and that there is no physical or mental stress going on. This is the only way one can help to improve clomid treatment.

It may be that in some cases they respond to 50 mg while in some they have to go on gradually increase of clomid amount in subsequent cycles.

BBT is tricky and needs a perfection while handling. A minor activity in the bed before taking temp will have influence and one can miss or missinterpret ovulation pattern. Also the temp shift in some cases may be 0.2 deg. F. and above mentioned reasons could add in itself this much small difference. So BBT unless tried for number of cycles without drug treatment it would be difficult me to say anything about it.

Good luck
