Clomid ovulation calculator

I hope I’m available to post here. My last period was April 9th-13th. I ovulation on the 21st of April. (Which would make me around 4w if we calculate from DPO, 5w+4d if calculated from last period) My period was supposed to come around May 5th. I took a pregnancy test the next day(05/06)and it was positive. On Wednesday(06/15) my hcg test was 634 and yesterday (06/17) it was 1,539. I got an ultrasound both days but doctors didn’t see anything in the uterus except thickness. Has anyone had these exact levels and everything was okay.

Infertility treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause of infertility, the age of the individuals involved, and their preferences. Here are some common infertility treatment options:

1. Fertility Medications : — Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid) : Stimulates ovulation in women who have irregular or absent ovulation by blocking estrogen receptors. — Letrozole (Femara) : Another medication that stimulates ovulation, often used when Clomid is ineffective. — Gonadotropins : Injectable hormones (FSH and LH) that stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, often used in conjunction with intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).

2. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) : — Sperm is washed and concentrated before being placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chances of fertilization.
3. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) : — Eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryos are then transferred into the uterus. — IVF can involve various techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected into an egg, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), which screens embryos for genetic abnormalities before transfer.
4. Surgery : — Surgical procedures such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy may be performed to correct structural issues in the reproductive organs, such as blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids.
5. Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) : — This term encompasses various advanced techniques used to achieve pregnancy when other methods have failed. It includes treatments like IVF, ICSI, and embryo freezing.
6. Donor Eggs or Sperm : — In cases of severe male infertility or diminished ovarian reserve, using donor eggs or sperm may be an option.
7. Gestational Carrier (Surrogacy) : — A woman carries and gives birth to a baby for another individual or couple using their embryo through IVF.
8. Lifestyle Changes and Alternative Therapies : — Making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and managing stress can sometimes improve fertility. — Alternative therapies like acupuncture and herbal supplements are sometimes used in conjunction with medical treatments, although their effectiveness is not always supported by scientific evidence.
It’s crucial for individuals experiencing infertility to seek guidance from a reproductive endocrinologist or fertility specialist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on their specific circumstances. Additionally, counseling and support groups can provide emotional support throughout the infertility journey.

I’m a labor and delivery nurse, so I know some things, but this pre pregnancy stuff is not my forte. My husband and I have been TTC for 19 months with unexplained infertility. I didn’t qualify for fertility treatments until I got my BMI lower. After losing 45lbs, I got approved!
This cycle I took clomid on days 3-7. I went today (day 12) for my follicular ultrasound and everything looks great. I’ll take the trigger shot tomorrow night and go in for the procedure on Monday morning (day 15).
I’m going to ask them on Monday when I go in for the procedure, but I have a silly question that I feel like I’m using to try to rationalize why I haven’t gotten pregnant lol.
I normally get an LH peak on days 17-19, so ovulate sometime around there usually. Is it possible when I’ve been ovulating on my own that the follicles have gotten too big and that’s why we’ve been unsuccessful? The amount of days difference honestly seems negligible but I’m looking for any glimmer of hope that this is going to work. :)

Last night saw this dream where I saw a beautiful not sure full or half rainbow 🌈 along with northern lights (aurora). I had a mmc on February this year and started trying from last cycle. I ovulated as per both the apps and my calculations on my birthday 5/15. Is it any kind of positive sign? I don’t want to have my hopes super high and get disappointed but at the same time small things like this gives me smile and makes me stay positive. TIA 🙏

I asked my OBGYN office about trying Clomid without doing the actual IUI procedure. This was their response but I don’t quite understand it. Has anyone done Clomid with IUI procedure? How did you ask your OBGYN? Any insight? Thank you!
Response:
Good morning, you may trial clomid, however the chances of success may not be very high as IUIs are recommended due to male factor infertility (by trying to bypass the cervis and put the sperm directly where its supposed to go). We would like to prevent any delay of care from trialing options that may not provide success due to the issue being related to sperm. We are able to try 3-6 rounds of clomid here with us before we refer out to a REI specialist for further management. If you would like to proceed with clomid, we also schedule follow up sonograms at certain cycle days since we are stimulating the ovaries for ovulation we provide close management to prevent any overstimulation.

I’m 11, almost 12 weeks PP from a c-section, and I’ve been getting my period about every 2 weeks since week 4ish. This is not normal for me, before pregnancy I had super irregular periods because I didn’t ovulate, I had to take Clomid to get pregnant. After pregnancy, I BF for 6 weeks and was on the mini pill, but I was super inconsistent taking the mini pill, which I assumed that was why I was having frequent bleeding, thinking starting and stopping the hormones were messing me up, but it’s been two weeks since I stopped taking the pill completely, and I’m starting another period again. It’s been so consistent at 2 weeks that my period tracker in my phone is even saying I’m due for one. Am I doomed for periods every 2 weeks for the rest of my life? Will this regulate again a little while longer after birth? Am I dying? 😉 anyone have any experience or advice? Thanks!

First day on 5 mg of Letrozole was uneventful. I felt a mild headache and some bloating in the pelvic area, similar to what I feel during ovulation.
Second day on Letrozole gave me headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomitting, diarrhea, and anxiety. It felt like the equivalent in sickness to having the worst flu of my life (but with different symptoms). I had to take sick leave from work cause I couldn’t function.
My REI told me to stop Letrozole, but report back in a few days for bloodwork and monitoring. Hopefully I can still proceed with the IUI as planned. I ovulate on my own, and don’t necessarily care for producing more than one mature egg at a time. I don’t expect the IUI to work, since I have unexplained infertility and according to my REI, IVF is the best option for unexplained infertility. I need to do two IUIs for insurance purposes before IVF is covered.
The only issue fertility testing found was a lower AMH/follicle count for my age (just turned 33). So I technically have DOR, but my AMH is still 1.1 and my last ultrasound showed 16 eggs.
Experiencing such bad symptoms on Letrozole makes me more than a little nervous for the side effects of the medication I’ll have to take for IVF. This whole experience has me thinking that maybe I’d be better off continuing to try without intervention. My husband and I weren’t super keen on having children to begin with, but my struggles with fertility for the last 8 months made me yearn for a child. Now I have my reservations again. I still do want a child, of that I’m certain, but I’m feeling more willing to just wait and let it “happen when it happens” if it does at all, instead of rushing to make it happen. My husband feels the same.
Is there anyone who had a bad experience with Letrozole/clomid and did ok with IVF meds?

First cycle on letrozole,2.5mg, confirmed ovulation which is unsurprising as I ovulate on my own too. I think our timing wasn’t great but I was still hopeful (O-3,O). My 10dpo beta was negative. They also checked my progesterone which was good at 19. Im so tired of this and idk I can’t help but hope that maybe I’ll just implant late but I’ve never had even a faint positive in 13 months. Hubby is on clomid so for some months we were dealing with male factor issues but that seems to be resolved.
How long did it take with letrozole for you?

I suspect that I may miscarry again. My last period was April 9th. I ovulation the 21st of April. Period was supposed to come may 5th but didn’t. I went to the ER yesterday because I was having abdominal pain like I always do during a miscarriage. It ended up being a UTI. I did bleed when they did a transvaginal ultrasound but other than that, I’ve had not seen any major blood. I do cramp here and there. Juss a lil spotting last week that only unseen when I wipe for about 5 minutes. However, my hcg levels is 634(first time getting tested). If I calculate from my ovulation that would put me around 3w5d. I really want this pregnancy but I’m scared it might end up like my others.

Need help trying to figure this out- We've been TTC second baby for the past 3 months or so. Regular cycles 25-27 days bleeding X4 days. No prior GYN/OB Hx. PCOS panel NL this yr. LMP 4/5/24. May cycle never came, and I Got several positive home pregnancy tests on 5/9 which was cycle day 35. Very excited and shared with our parents and siblings. Had no issues conceiving last baby and no prior losses...calculated to be about 5 weeks based on LMP-Was also having some mild nausea, breast tenderness, bloating- same symptoms as last pregnancy... I work in an OBGYN office so I was eager to check my serum levels- But my Serum beta HCG in the office Monday 9/13 was very low... like 16- I called my OBGYN and he said to repeat the beta level on Tuesday- if it's even lower then likely will be a biochemical pregnancy or early miscarriage.
My serum progesterone also has dropped by about 50% with each check-and now serum beta HCG is down to 1- so doubt I had a late ovulation or a viable pregnancy with these levels. No bleeding whatsoever- but don't patients with a biochemical pregnancy usually have a heavier period that essentially comes as planned? In patients who miscarry don't they usually start bleeding pretty quickly with a nonviable pregnancy? It's Thursday now and I still have no bleeding whatsoever. Had some mild cramping yesterday but essentially resolved after some OTC ibuprofen.
The NP in my office and sonographer have offered to do a transvaginal ultrasound on me now to try and see if we can figure out what's going on? I'm 2 weeks late now, so not really sure when to expect the next "period" if this is a pregnancy that still hasn't resolved... IF we scan now Should we still see a corpus luteum in theory if it was an early nonviable IUP? What if it's a blighted ovum or an early ectopic? I'm not scheduled for "first OB appt" until the 28th but I just want to make sure it's nothing to worry about. You can't have an ectopic with a beta that has gone all the way down to 1, right? Any reason I should continue checking HCG levels or hormones at this point? Is it safe to just go ahead and assume I'm not pregnant? Anybody that's had a biochemical pregnancy/blighted ovum/early miscarriage etc. have any experience to guide me? How long after the beta went down to undetectable did you have bleeding? Or get a period? How long is TOO long to go without either seeing bleeding to indicate pregnancy resolution or another cycle?
I don't want to mess things up for future periods or opportunities to get pregnant again. If I go another two weeks and skip a second period, would I need a D&C? Or do a provera withdrawal bleed? Just trying to figure out what this all means.
Thanks for your help
Confused mid 30s mama?

Hi all - I was diagnosed with PCOS after going off birth control and realizing my periods were fairly irregular (30-60 days). I have no other symptoms outside of irregular periods and cysts confirmed via ultrasound and my labs have been fairly normal (normal testosterone, normal insulin, normal glucose). BMI of 21 so I am technically in the “lean PCOS” category and have been athletic/eat healthy most of my life. I also have hypothyroidism and have been taking levothyroxine to keep my TSH levels within the normal range also, my RE says the irregular periods are most likely only caused by PCOS and that the hypothyroidism is a nonfactor since my TS has been consistent.
I am not currently TTC but am planning to soon and have been wanting to understand all potential options to regulate my periods prior to trying. My RE recommended 2000 mg myo-inositol daily and 600mg n-acetylcysteine daily as a potential supplement to regulate periods, but that I would most likely need some sort of ovulation stimulant like clomid/letrozole when we are actually TTC. I wanted to ask the PCOS community if anyone has had success with these supplements? Recommended brands? These seem branded as a diabetes medication - How does this supplement actually support ovulation in women with lean PCOS?
My RE said that I most likely am not ovulating if my cycles are long especially up to 60 days, and that if we did start trying now that there is a potential that I could be ovulating but that the long cycles could mean a reduction in egg quality… more risk of miscarriage etc… I interpreted this as “wait to start trying until your cycles are closer to 30 days”… any ideas on this?

TLDR: has anyone lost a significant amount of weight & still not gotten their cycle back?
I (F 26) was diagnosed with pcos 6 years ago when I was 20, but knew I had it long before then. I got my first period at 12 years old & it never regulated in the last almost 15 years i’ve had it. it would go anywhere between 2 months to 6 months. I had been on birth control since I was 14 (to regulate it) which only sometimes worked. I decided to get off of BC about a year & a half ago when my husband and I decided to start trying. well you guessed it, my period hasn’t been regular. I also in the last 1.5yrs, have only positively identified ovulation TWICE!! (w/ the help of provera & clomid) My dr told me that losing 5% of your body weight can help restart your cycle. she then started me on phentermine to help with the weight loss as I was having a hard time losing anything with diet & exercise. I have since lost 26lbs (SW: 194, CW: 168) since march, and guess what?? STILL NO PERIOD 😭 I guess what i’m asking is, has anyone else lost a significant amount of weight & their cycle still not regulated?? kinda hard to get pregnant without one 😅

Hi I’m 7 months postpartum and dealing with a lot of insomnia atm. I want to figure out if it maybe has some kind of hormonal cause so I tested it yesterday on day 18 of my cycle. The results from my bloodwork just came in:
Progesteron: 2,4 nmol/L Estrogen: 956 pmol/L LH: 10 U/L FSH: 33,2 U/L
The results showed dat I’m probably ovulating right now, and that all the values are within the normal range. The main question: what about the progesteron to estrogen ratio. I’ve calculated this ratio and it’s 2,9 which is really really low. It this correct and does this mean I’m dealing with a estrogen dominance?

Im new to this but in my first cycle where i knew of my pmdd i pms-ed hard but then i was fine until ovulation. This period was pretty okay in terms of pms but ovulation is in 2-3 days according to the calculator but I feel like im ovulating already. i take bc and fluoxetine. does anyone have a similar experience when starting on mediaction? How is it now?

TTC for 2 months now, in what I though was my tww excitedly waiting for the opportunity to test! Thought I ticked all the boxes this month, tracking BBT, doing LH strips did the dance 3 times leading up to ovulation day. Only to get my progesterone day 21 results last week and find out I don’t produce enough, either that or I didn’t actually ovulate when I thought I did. I’m repeating the blood test today so we’ll see what the reading is now But if it’s the case that I don’t produce enough, what are the next steps? Dr google says Clomid? Or is there further testing to do first? (I’m the UK btw)

I’m 35 with ‘lean’ PCOS. I ovulated once since April 2023 with the help of Letrozole 5mg - obviously didn’t work haha!
My RE put me on 2.5 - nothing. Then 5 and it worked but no conception. Restarted 5 next round and initially I had a follicle that was 14 but then it shrunk. I had severe depression/anxiety with my last Letrozole round. Like couldn’t get out of bed and wanted to jump out of a window (obviously wouldn’t but it was awful). My RE switched me to Clomid 50mg for 5 days and first scan showed two 12.6mm follicles and an estrogen of 212 (I was never over 60 with letrozole) will be following up tomorrow.
My body seems to respond initially and then backs off once the medication is stopped.
I’m so frustrated. I feel like my time is not my own. I’m too afraid to plan any trips or commit to anything because what if it’s during a cycle? What if I need a scan? What if I’m pregnant and can’t be near a lab for bloodwork or a scan?!
I feel like I’m absolutely insane.
My husband was finally like - we need to book something. Let’s book it refundable and let’s just book it. In the back of my head I really wanted to go to Europe this Summer as a consolation prize if TTC wasn’t working.
Well last night we booked refundable tickets and I am a nervous wreck. My husband is like you’ve been talking about this for a year aren’t you excited?! And I can’t even think about actually going with all of the ‘what if’s’
I feel like I’m going bananas. I keep thinking about okay what if you are pregnant - there is no reason to not go and I’m like oh I’m sure I’ll be sick and nauseas and wouldn’t enjoy it. Or I’ll miscarry because of the plane (I know it’s outdated info)
I feel like I’m missing out on life during this fertility journey and I just want to crawl into bed and cry.
Does anyone have any tips? Suggestions? Anything? I feel like I’m losing my mind.

Probably shouldn’t doom scroll but here we are 🥲.
A little back story about me I’ve had pcos since 2019, I would only get my period about twice MAYBE three times a year and I am completely anovulatory. My husband and I have been trying since November using only provera to get my periods started. But that was basically fruitless because I never ovulated during any of those cycles. She is starting me on clomid tomorrow. My first round is 100mg, unmonitored. I felt good about it until I started seeing all this stuff about unmonitored cycles causing cysts and thin linings and triplets and now I’m completely freaked out.
But since I don’t even ovulate naturally on my own, is it even dangerous to do my first round unmonitored? I feel like I won’t hyperovulate since I don’t ovulate at all if that makes sense? But now I feel like I don’t know anything about the treatment I’m about to receive😭 my OB said they also only do clomid cycles every other month to avoid hyperovulation, thin linings, etc. What do you guys think?
