Check your ovulation predictor kit (OPK) results daily, following your doctor’s instructions. A positive OPK indicates a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), suggesting ovulation is imminent, typically within 24-36 hours. If you use blood tests to track follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels, your doctor will interpret these results to assess your ovarian response to Clomid. High FSH levels might indicate poor ovarian reserve.
Understanding Your Results
Your doctor will review your ultrasound results to examine follicle growth. Follicles are fluid-filled sacs in your ovaries that contain eggs. They’ll look for follicles of a specific size, indicating they’re mature and ready for release. A lack of follicle growth may mean Clomid isn’t working effectively. If your doctor sees multiple mature follicles, they may adjust your dosage or monitoring schedule. After ovulation, they will assess your progesterone levels to confirm ovulation has occurred.
Next Steps
Based on your test results, your doctor might adjust your Clomid dosage for the next cycle or recommend alternative fertility treatments. These may include different medications, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Maintain open communication with your doctor; discuss any concerns or questions throughout the process. Remember to meticulously track your cycle for accurate monitoring. Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to support your fertility.
