Candice! LittleBitCrazy!

I took clomid on CD 5-9 and I always ovulated on CD15 or CD16. My cycles have always been around 28-29 days, but on clomid sometimes they were a little longer (possible chemical pregnancy?) and sometimes they were shorter. Keep testing until you see a + OPK. I did always see one. Better yet, I didn't go to an RE until I had already done 7 unmonitored clomid cycles with my Ob/gyn (1 cycle pg ended in m/c). My last clomid cycle (RE upped it from 50mg to 100mg) they monitored my follicules at CD2 and again CD12 (weren't ready) and CD14 (ready). If this first cycle doesn't work for you, I would recommend going to an RE and have monitoring done. You can be monitored without doing an IUI. Actually, this month I am going unmedicated, no IUI, but will go in on CD14 for a follie check, and if ready, then trigger (HCG) and timed BD!

Good luck. Oh, yeah. Don't waste too many cycles on clomid unmonitored because there is a limit to how many cycles you can be on it (after a certain amount, cancer risks increase).

Good luck to both of you!!!
