hey naz--

I have an appointment on July 6th (day 23 of my cycle) for progesterone blood work to tell if the clomid actually worked and made me ovulate or not. I was told by my doctor that we should have sex every other day if possible, but at least every 3rd day. We are going to do that from now all the way up until I start my next cycle. I have no clue when I will ovulate and I don't want to take any chances.

I read somewhere that it's best to have sperm waiting for the egg and sperm stays alive in your system from 24-72 hours.

In my case I wasn't ovulating at all before so I have about the same chances as any "normal" couple trying to conceive naturally...which is around 25-30% I believe. It may be higher percentages for someone that does ovulate naturally and is taking the clomid as a "boost".

What have been your side effects on the clomid and how many mgs are you on?

They started me on 50mgs and if my blood work says that it didn't work then they will push my dosage up until I have a positive ovulation from the clomid. My OBGYN said that once I have 3 positive ovulation cycles on the clomid, if I'm still not pregnant then I will have to go to a fertility specialist.

Whew...sorry so long of a post. ;)
