Hi April: I think, then, that the Clomid may have affected your OPK, which is why you saw an almost positive on cd 9, followed by increasingly lighter OPKs. According to the fertilityplus website, if you take an OPK too soon after Clomid, the Clomid can affect the result. Here is the excerpt from that site:

"Q: Does Clomid cause problems with OPKs?

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."

SO, bottom line, I would keep testing because I think that you haven't surged or O'd yet! Remember, Clomid often causes a later O, so you might have aways to go still!

Keep BMSing regularly too so that O doesn't sneak up on you!

GOOD LUCK and keep us posted+++++++++

Im right about there on the opks too....my tests look the same and I took clomid 100mg on days 1-4, so I too am confused.,.....im on cd9 first day of my opk
I will test again twm and see what happens, just in case in my case if something is different, I will cover my bases! I would cover yours too, April, you never know! Bodies come in all forms and do their own thing sometimes!!??
