help!

Can I taken provera to induce a period then take clomid on day 3-7? Then take progesterone the second half of my cycle?

Hi!
If you were my patient, I might prescribe something similar for you. I typically like to have some blood work first, to see what we are treating and to make sure the medications are appropriate. In particular, I don't like to supplement with progesterone without knowing what the body's natural levels are.
I would definitely NOT recommend taking these types of medication without the supervision of a physician!
Good luck!
Dr B
