Hi All! So I have PCOS, I've always had it, never had regular periods. I get my period maybe a few times a year. So my doctor just put me on provera 50mg for 5 days, and then clomid 50mg for 5 days, and metformin 500mg for the whole month.
My question is that my doctor told me I was to take the clomid on the 6th day, after finished the provera, even though I did not get my period yet, he said there were reasons for this ( I forgot exactly what he said ). Which brings me to my question, I am starting clomid tomorrow, since I just finished the provera today, will it be possible for me to get my period either while on clomid or right after finishing it from the provera? If I do, what does this mean?
Any advise/experience would be really appreciated! Also if you had success with this combo I'd love to hear from you also!
My dr had me take provera for 10 days and than about 2-3 days after stoping it I would start my period. And on cd 3-5 I would take my clomid. So I would say its about six days after taking provera. which is about the same thing your dr said. I think its about the same thing either way you say think of it in the end. Dr start there patients on all different days of the cycle. So I wouldnt worry to much about it. It sounds like its the right time to start. I hope that makes since. So why are you starting your clomid on the day after your provera ends if your dr told you to take it on the 6 day after ending provera? im confused. It sounds to early to take it the day after. You should expect your period 2-3 days after you stop provera. But if your dr wants you to start clomid before than its ok that you start your period while on it. I dont think theres a big difference. I think it will just help bring you a new cycle faster. And help you ovulate sooner in your cycle. I wish I had a sucess story with clomid but it did not make me ovulate. :( I have moved on to IVF Good luck with everything
This is not the first time I have heard someone talk about taking clomid without a period and I have no idea why the doctors would say that.
I think you should call up your doctor and clarify the situation and ask again when he wants you to take the clomid. Maybe he meant cycle day 6!
I thought once you start on Metformin you are supposed to stay on it, not just take it for a month! But i have just started taking metformin this month so I am not 2 sure.
I take provera 10mg for 7 days, clomid on CD 5-9 and Metformin 500mg everyday(will be 1000mg soon)
