How do you know if you ovulated on clomid?

[Anonymous]

My nurse called me today and told me I had a BFN. WHen I asked her whether or not I had ovulated she said she didn't know. I was under the impression that you could tell if someone ovulated on clomid.

You can tell if you had an ultrasound before and after ovulation (the before showing the follicle and the after showing no more follicle) and a blood test before and after showing the rise and fall of your LH levels.

If you're charting your temp, your temperature shift will show that your hormone levels shifted as a likely result of ovulation.

Of course, you still won't know whether the follicle had an egg in it or whether it was empty.

My RE doesn't believe ultrasound is conclusive, as it can be hard to tell whether the follicle is gone or merely re-filled with fluid. In general, people have their progesterone tested 7dpo and you can tell by that level whether you ovulated or not. Next month, ask for that.
