Clomid for ovulating women? What are your experiences?

Question

If you took Clomid even though you were already ovulating on your own, what were your experiences? What cycle day did you ovulate on? Did you have success? And if so, how many months did it take to get pregnant?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

As far as I know, you ovulate after you have your period. That's why the doctors usually ask that you take the clomid either on the day of your period or on day 3 of your period.
What clomid actually does, even if you have already ovulated, clomid helps your ovaries send more eggs out, because as you know, women generally ovulate one egg each month, so clomid tricks your body, and tells it to release more than one.
I'm on my second attempt of clomid, no success yet, but everyone is different. Good luck.

Answer 2

I took clomid after I miscarried and then was having trouble getting pregnant (I am older so my OB didn't make me wait long before starting the clomid). Through ovulation tests I figured out I was ovulating late. I went on 100 mg of clomid and on the third month, I got pregnant. I still was ovulating late, but the clomid may have "goosed" the ovulation, in my OB's not so technical terms. My wee bird turns 1 next month. good luck.
