Beckylynn, it sounds like you have done really well with your struggles on your health issues, and how wonderful that your husband has helped you through it. From what I've read it's hard to estimate what your body will do when you take clomid, especially if you havent taken it before. I have read that those that are monitered through clomid cycles usually get ultrasounds done during expected ovulation to determine how many eggs your body has produced. I'm not sure where you live or how much it would cost, but that may be an idea to give you a better accuracy on the number of eggs your body would have with clomid. Have you researched into some side effects? you need to be aware of some side effects and Over Hyper Stimulation Syndrome on your ovaries, if clomid over stimulates, it could give you severe problems and they could very easily tell that you've been using clomid, I think this is because OHSS does not happen unless fertility drugs are taken. As you have a secondary infertility issue it may not effect you in the same way, but it would be unknown until you take it. Yes, I believe that the earlier you take the clomid, it is said to produce more eggs, but the amount will depend on each and every womans body. I have read that in some women clomid doesn't even work at all. How long have you been TTC #4? have you tried Ovulation predictor kits? do you get an LH surge with them? OV watch? have you temped? I'll check back later
