Ok...I took clomid cd 5-9. I read that clomid can cause a false positive on an opk. I took a test on cycle day 14 in the afternoon and it was negative. The test line was lighter than the reference line. The next morning before I left for work (cd 15) I decided to take another test. This time the test was positive. After returning home from work I decided to take another one just to make sure I was reading the test right and it showed another positive...so the husband and I got busy. I am now cycle day 16..and I still have a positive on my opk this morning, Do you think it's safe to say I am ovulating? I am worried that the clomid is causing a false positive....but I did have the negative test on cycle day 14 so that is gving me some hope. And I am having very uncomfortable, throbbing pains. So I think this might be it,

Hey Melissa! from what I have noticed and read Clomid will cause a positive opk if the test is taken during the time you are taking the Clomid. so cd14 and 16 is safe. Also its said not to take opk test after you get that first positive one. Good Luck girl! I'm on cd5 and tomorrow is my last day on clomid

A: Clomid (Serophene/clomiphene citrate) can cause a false positive in OPKs if taken too soon after finishing the prescription. According to most of the manufacturers you should wait at least 3 days before using an OPK. If you take Clomid days 3-7 you can begin testing on day 10. If you take it 5-9, you should wait until day 12. (found this on fertlityplus (ot) org)

Thanks for the info lilly! That makes me feel better =).I read too that once you get a positive, then you don't have to test after that..but curiosity got the best of me, and look what it did!..lol..made me paranoid.

I read that ovulation pain can intensify with clomid...I googled it and a whole bunch of links came up, so I guess it is pretty common. I am fine now though.it was just a little yesterday and this morning.

Hey Melissa....funniest call today was DH calling to ask "Ok if we bd last night do we have to skip tonight and then bd tomorrow night?" I was like HECK NO WE BD EVERYNIGHT...due to the positive opk last night. I will countinue to test with OPK until they go negative just to make sure yesterdays wasn't a false one. I know that clomid causing false positive but I believe that only when you test on the days u are actually taking the medicine

Hey Melissa! No luck for me, I started af yesterday morning =(. And I'll be d__ned if I ovulated cd 17..the ONLY day I didn't bd! I bd'd cd 15,16, and 18. You think that would be enough, but apparently not. So...the husband just left to New Orleans for work and will probably miss this cycle as well. But thats alright. My doc already called in more clomid to the pharmacy for me so I am going to be ready
