Why am I not ovulating?

So, I took 100 mg of clomid and on Tuesday, DR. told me to start testing urine b/c there is an foli that measures 12mm. So, here I am testing and testing and NOTHING...no LH surge....What is wrong with me?

What cycle day did you take the clomid?

It may be a little too early to get your surge. Follies are considered mature at 18mm and above and they grow 1-2mm a day. Keep on testing for the next couple of days. You may also want to call and make an appointment for another U/S and bloodwork.

Don't get too upset, I think you just started testing early...Chat Icon

Re: Why am I not ovulating?

I definitely agree with getting another u/s. You may need a hsg trigger shot.

Some women, especially those who didn't ovulate on their own prior to the meds, need a trigger shot because their LH doesn't rise high enough.

You could have a perfect sized follie, and not enough LH to make it rupture.

I really wish they weren't telling you to use opks, a good facility, will have you come in for bloodwork and sono...every day or every other day....

However, on a positive note, you won't get a LH surge on a 14mm follie. You probably won't get a surge until the follie is about 18-20mm, which would be possibly today. Go right back to the facility today or tomorrow and get a U/S !!!

If the follie grows too big, that is an issue, so make sure if your follie is over 18mm you get a trigger !

Michelle,

Thank God we have you around. RSofNY does tell patients to keep testing via OPK's at least that's what they said to me.

Thanks for the info on the trigger shot. I have the same issue and will be asking for it this cycle.

Re: Why am I not ovulating?

I was supose to go into the clinic today but my work schedule was so very nuts that I am going tomorrow. The dr. called me and was ****** that I didn't come in this morning. It is just so hard to balance everything. The line on the OPK stick is darker today. We are just going ahead and Bd tonight.

Getting pregnant is a full time job!

Re: Why am I not ovulating?

I have had months where I did not surge till my follie was at around 23mm. It could be days till you reach that.

I would say they should do a trigger if your over 18-20. Thats the best stage based on what I have read/heard.

I went to RSofNY (Stony Brook office) and the had me come in for bloodwork and sono's because OPK's didn't work for me.
