HopefulM:  so, did you get a bfp?  I am on round 2 of clomid, increased to 100mg from the 50mg dosage.  My follicle size just wasn't big enough (although I have to say I certainly felt bloated and tender)!  I'm so hopeful this will work.  Still not sure about my hubby's little swimmers, but will find out about them later this month.

Good luck and baby dust to all!

I am PG!!! 9 weeks.. sorry i havent been on. It was my first round of clomid, i got my period July 21st.. i did the ovulation test and it never showed me i was ovulating, but according to the pregnancy calender I ovulated and concieved on Aug 4th. I found out August 23rd and had my 1st appointment at 6 weeks and my hubby and i got to see our little miracle. It was an ultrasound to confirm pregnancy. I have a 10 week appt on Monday and cant wait to see what the dr. tells me. I am hyappy although a little worried because I read about alot of miscarraiges with clomid. Ill keep everyone in my prayers.

  AWESOME!!  I'm CD 22 and hoping to get a BFP myself- this is our 2nd month on clomid- had no idea of the increased risk of miscarriage- good to know.  I'll keep praying for a safe and sound pregnancy for you

Clomid only helps if your infertility is caused by a failure to ovulate. As someone else said, you should definitely also tract your ovulation cycle if you are taking Clomid. 

There was a good radio show that talked about how effective Clomid was by itself and what percentage of people need to move on to more invasive and expensive treatments. I liked this show because they spent time talking about the steps before you move to IVF, like Clomid. The show's name is Creating a Family and you can listen to this show. The doctor that was on was a big-wig RE that was president or something of the Association of REs.  I don't remember the exact date but it was in Sept. I listen to this show every week, but I download it as a podcast.

Good luck! See a RE if you don't get pregnant after a year of trying.
