    Hi,

    I am taking Clomid 50mg for the past 3 months and unfortunately nothing has happened 😢. I took Clomid in August and my Af didn't arrive until day37, completely forgot to take them in September, took my last pack in October and I'm currently on day 39.
    I have taken 2 preg tests and both have come back negative.
    I thought the Clomid regulates out your cycle not delay them.
    Has this ever happened to anyone? Or why is this happening

    Without monitoring its impossible to say what’s going on. Is your doctor doing blood tests to see if you are ovulating? I assume you aren’t getting ultrasounds to check follicle growth.

    Hi bee06

    No they haven't been doing anything. I am doing ovulation tests and i got a positive on day 17 so i know i def ovulated.
    I am due to start 100mg of the clomid whenever AF arrives

    Ovulation tests confirm the LH surge before ovulation. They don’t actually confirm ovulation happened.

    Ok, I'm very unaware about Clomid only what it does.
    My gynae is not monitoring me while on it but, is aware what it is doing to my cycles and to be brutally honest i don't think he even cares.
    I've ordered the Clear blue digital ovulation tests online so, I'm hoping these will help.
    But what am i so confused is why my cycles are this long when the Clomid is supposed to more so regulate them

    Are you temping yourself? As bee has said, ovulation tests don't confirm you have ovulated

    Only monitoring by scans or temping will confirm this. Temping is also a great way of really understanding your cycle.
    Without temping or monitoring you really are blind as to what is going on
