I'm so frustrated.

Okay, I started 50 mg of clomid CD5 - CD9 this month.

I have a 27 - 28 day cycle - and today I am CD14. I've been told that you usually ovulate 5 - 10 days AFTER you take your last pill. That would anywhere from TODAY to next thursday.

But, I'm using the OPK sticks, and I don't even have a faint line on them yet!!!!!!! I also have no O symptoms. Is this normal? Does anyone have any encouraging advice for me??

WE BD'ed on CD 12, we will tonight (CD14) and probably continue to every other day for the next week or so, despite still not getting a positive on my OPK. Does that sound right?
ugh.

Thanks so much!!!

I started Clomid too this month....cycle days 2-6. I got a + on monday which was 8 days after my last pill. Then I got a + yesterday which was 12 days after my last pill...So I am confused as well. My advice would be to not go by the OPK and just BD every other night for a couple of weeks. I just dont know why I got a + on monday and friday! AAAHHH!!

oh geeze, that is frustrating. did you test every day from your first positive 8 days after till the next one 12 days later???

I was thinking maybe the OPK strips were just off, but I have no other symptoms of O either.

I don't know about anyone else, but I HATE bd'ing everyother day for that long. Too stressful, and a pain actually. Totally takes the 'fun' out of it.
anyone else feel this way??

I definately feel that BD'ing every other day is stressful. Even if you BD every three days sometimes it will be good enough. I didn't test everyday after I got my positive on Monday b/c I just knew I ovulated. I felt like I was. So yesterday...i was just tested for the heck of it and it was positive. DH has the flu so we couldn't do it last night. This morning he was feeling better so we BD"d. I didn't have an orgasm so a lot of it leaked out. I hope it was good enough though! I'm sure you will ovulate soon...some people on clomid don't O til they are on cycle day 23 and on. This is so confusing! Baby making shouldn't be this hard!
