Schedule your follow-up ultrasound. Your doctor will assess follicle growth and determine if ovulation is likely. This typically happens around day 12-14 of your cycle, but timing can vary.
Continue monitoring basal body temperature (BBT) if you’ve been doing so. A sharp rise in BBT can indicate ovulation. Combine this with ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) for a more complete picture.
Engage in intercourse during your fertile window. This is usually 2-3 days before and on the day of ovulation. Consider using a fertility tracking app to help pinpoint this period.
Expect potential side effects to persist or even worsen slightly. These can include bloating, mood swings, and hot flashes. If these become severe, contact your doctor.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep. These lifestyle factors can positively influence fertility.
Remain patient and positive. Clomid doesn’t guarantee pregnancy. Success rates vary, and multiple cycles might be necessary. Your doctor will guide you through the process and any next steps.
Prepare for potential questions from your doctor at your follow-up appointment. Keep a record of your symptoms and any changes you observe.
