I took clomid

[vgm]

March was my second month that I took clomid.The first month the dosage was 50mg the second month was 100mg..I took 1pill am, 1pill pm..Will that cause to ovulate twice a month??I took an ovulation test on 4/2/10 it came out positive for 2 days in a row then the 3rd day came out negative.Then on 4/7/10 I made an ovulation test and it came out positive again why would that happen??

Hi!
No, you won't ovulate twice in the month.  It doesn't make a difference whether you take the pills both at the same time or at different times.  Personally, I would take both together to make it easier.  It is really good that your OPK was positive.  The first two days were probably the real days and the second positive was probably a false positive.
There are many things that can cause a false positive, especially if a woman is taking Clomid.  One other thing that you ought to consider is having a progesterone level done.
That will confirm ovulation--if it did  indeed occur.
Good luck!

I think that you should be taking both pills at the same time either morning or night, and not splitting them up.  I don't think you can ov twice in one month, but an ov test is just checking for LH surge so it can fluctuate.  I am also taking clomid 100mg and once I get a positive LH surge I know I will ov some time in the next 24 to 48 hours and do not take anymore ov tests after that so I'm not sure if it will fluctuate over a few days.
