Clomid problem -when to take tablet??

Question

im waiting to start my first round of clomid,just awaiting a period.i have pcos and my periods are very irregular and sometimes i just get a few days of spotting(not sure if that would count as a period) anyway toay i have been spotting but its has been a little more than normal.i dont know if this could be as heavy as it will be and i am supposed to be takin clomid on day 2.i really dont know what to do????do i take it tomorrow or not?any help or advice would be appreciated thanks!!

p.s i had at proceedure last week to see if my tubes were blocked or not and they told me that my womb looked quite thick so they thought i would have a period within the next two weeks and if i didnt then i needed to phone up and make an appointment at the clinic to get a tablet to make my period start.

Answer 1

you should take the pill the second of your full period (full flow) sounds like today it's your first day so you could start tomorrow, but if you have any questions call your doctor as well, good luck!! you can also ask a doctor online for free and find other advice on Clomid and PCOS, try this website, FertilityTies

good luck!!

Answer 2

i have pcos since oct 07.am on metformin 500mg for 3 times a day.i got a period in nov jan feb and skipped march and got one in april, and in may and skipped june and got one in july.

i went to see my specialist in may. to see what is can do for me. i was told to lose weight in witch i am .i went for a blood test in june to see if am ovulating on my own and i wasnt i was told to start on clomid as soon as my period comes so i started my first cycle on the 4th july 08.

i went to have a  blood test on day 21 and i didnt ovulate but they think i have ovulated later then day 21.yes take the tablet on day 2 to day 5 of your period.and my prosterone levels are 24 and want it to be 30

Answer 3

My doctor told me to wait until I was actually bleeding and not count my spotty days.  I would say if you are still bleeding tomorrow then you have started.  Day 2 seems really early though.  I am starting I day 5, I have heard of day 3 but not day two.  

*I had that dye test too just last week.........no fun!!

Answer 4

That is the same question I asked my doctor.  She said once you see a brown to red color in your discharge that is the first day of your period.  So if you saw it yesterday, today would be your second day.  I would take it before you go to bed so that the side effects hopefully happen in the night time when you sleep.  Good luck and I hope it helps.

Answer 5

It might be best to call the doctor to be sure . . . but when I was on Clomid my RE told me to count day 1 as the first day of full flow / red blood.  Anything else was spotting and counted as part of the previous cycle.

Good luck and baby dust!
