About one in four women will not ovulate when taking Clomid. 1 Sometimes, the reason you may not ovulate on Clomid is because the dosage is too low. It’s common to start Clomid treatment at 50mg, and then increase to 100mg if you don’t respond. In some cases, doctors will try doses up to 250mg.

Can I still ovulate if my OPK is negative?

A: Even though the OPK shows no LH and is negative it is still possible to ovulate. The LH test is not the best way to determine exactly if and when you ovulate. Sometimes the OPK is only positive for 8-12 hours, so if you test once a day it’s normal to miss the positive test.

What day did you ovulate on Clomid?

Ovulation typically occurs 5 – 10 days after taking the last Clomid pill. So if you took Clomid on days 3 to 7 of your cycle, you are most likely to ovulate between days 10 and 16. Ovulation can, however, occur even later than 10 days after your last Clomid pill, so it’s something to keep in mind.

How do you know if Clomid is not working?

If you have a period on days 27-30 after taking clomid, then the medicine is working correctly. You should continue taking the medication and have intercourse at the time of ovulation. If you fail to have a period, but your pregnancy test is negative, you are not pregnant.

Can you still get pregnant with no LH surge?

Ovulation tests only identify the LH surge up to 24 to 48 hours before ovulation, and sperm can survive in the body up to 3 to 5 days. Therefore, if you have intercourse before you discover the LH surge, the egg could still be fertilized.

In some cycles, ovulation does not occur because of stress, intense physical activity, sudden weight changes, or unusual climate.
