spotting 5 dpo?

Hi everyone, I'm on my first round of clomid, 50 mg. I had little symptoms and cannot confirm O even happened. I've had negative opks for the time I took them and little ewcm (typical on clomid). My temps are hard to read, they go up but there is no sudden temp shift.

One thing though, when i had ovulatory cycles a few months ago, my breasts hurt after I ovulated. Well, my breasts are sore and they have been for the last 5 days or so, which makes me think I might have O'd (ff gave me chs and says 5dpo but may take them away too, depending on what my temp does tomorrow). Today I had a temp drop and then this afternoon I started spotting. Well, I'm still spotting, but it's only there when I wipe, not enough for a tampon. I am only on cd 23, so it's too early for af, right? I am realy confused because my period used to not come at all, so I took provera and had af and then the clomid. Why would I be spotting so early? Any ideas? And, I'm not even sure if O has occured yet. Feel free to check out my chart. Thanks for any responses.

Your temp dropped below coverline but it could be an implantation dip. When the egg implants into your lining. Look it up and you'll find more info on that. If your temp goes back up tomorrow and stays up that's probably what it is. And the sore boobs are a good sign too!


I hope I have the same event occur for me in a few days! Best to you!

Thanks for responding. Well, now I am more confused than ever. The spotting turned into full on af last night. I had horrible cramping. I am only on cd 23. Isn't the clomid supposed to make me O and then get af like 12-14 days after O? My luteal phase in the past was around 12 days.

It's so strange. If I didn't O at all, why would af arrive? And if I did O when ff says I did, why would I have a 5 day lp? This all makes no sense to me. I see you have been on clomid in the past, so maybe you have some insight?

I'm also wondering if I should take 50 mg of clomid again, since I'm starting a new cycle or if maybe my body needs to run its course naturally and that's what's telling me by having af in the middle of my cycle. I mean, did the clomid even do what it was supposed to do?

I know this post goes on and on. I am just so confused as to what has happened and what to do next. Help!

Hey,


Sorry AF came. I had a friend that had that same thing occur and then her next clomid cycle she got her BFP. (see below for her details)

Thanks for your reply and the story about your friend. I guess it's impossible to know if I Oed or not but it seems strange to not O but yet get such a bad af w/ cramps and sore boobs and everything. Who knows. How's the femara versus the clomid?
