Could I just be ovulating late?

[IPLAYWITHDEREK]

Hi I had af nov6th started clomid nov10th and went in yesterday for my follow up that was cd12.
They seen 3 follicles but they were only 10mm. Is it possible that I could still ovulate this month.
He did say they have grown since the scan I had 7days ago.
I have pcos. I just wanted to know if the clomid is working for me. or should I take the provera and start all over?

Hi!
Usually if clomid is going to work, it will trigger ovulation by day 14 and the menstrual period will arrive at day 28 ( if no pregnancy ).  It may be possible to continue this particular cycle longer and watch the follicles to see if they grow.  If you were my patient, however, I would change something next cycle--either increase the dose or switch to injectibles (which is probably what you will ultimately need).  In the years I have been in this business, I have found that it is much easier to conceive when one is NOT trying, or even better---trying NOT to!
Good luck!

What day did you take the Clomid, and how much? I was on Clomid for 2 cycles and ovulated around day 21.  So yes, it is definitely possible that you might ovulate, and maybe later then normal.  I was overstimulated by the Clomid, and when they checked me around day 21 (when I thought I was ovulating) I had a lot of large follices, and one really big one (which was causing all the pain and the reason for the ultrasound).
