I took 150mg of clomid cycle days 5-9. The side effects were not horrible. Just a few headaches and moodiness. I still had the visual issues I usually get. It only bothers me when going from a dark room to a well lit room.
On cycle day 14 I got a positive surge on my ovulation predictor kit. This was very odd as I usually don't ovulate until day 17 or 18. Luckily I had my mid-cycle ultrasound the same day. I had 4 follicles measuring 1.8/ 1.8/ 1.6/ 1.4. They ordered blood work to check my LH (luteinizing hormone). That test showed that I was not ready to ovulate. We think it was a false positive left over from the clomid. I was sent home with instructions to continue to monitor for LH with my kits. If no positive by Monday I was to come in for another ultrasound.
Monday rolled around and there was no surge by the time my ultrasound was scheduled. Brad went with me on this visit. They said the follicles were looking more mature and things were looking good. They decided to give me 2 more days to detect my LH surge. If there was no surge by Tuesday I was going to have to have a shot to induce ovulation. Brad was taught how to give this to me. I think he was really hoping he would get to play Dr.
We left the office and went straight to CVS to buy a new pack of ovulation predictor kits. I immediately went to the bathroom there in the store and what popped up but a smiley face!!! My surge had been detected!!!! I ran out and showed Brad then called the Dr. to set up our IUI for the next day Tue December 8.
