persistent corpus luteum

I began my first round of clomid 50mg on days 6-10 ending on Feb. 13th.
I had lite spotting on day 24 of my cycle (just as I did my last pregnancy).
I did a hpt on day 27 and day 32, both of which were negative. I had extreme breast
tenderness, frequent
urination and lite abdominal cramps. After discussing this with the RN Practioner
at my GYN office, she assured me I was not pregnant. I have begun bleeding
today which makes my cycle 40 days long. I read a couple of sentences in your
Q&A section about Persistent Corpus Luteum. It would seem that is probably what
happened with me. My questions are: Is this a common occurance? Since it happened
on my first trial, will it likely happen again? Should I go ahead with another
month's try? For the last 18 months or so, my cycles have been 24 - 26 days with
extremely heavy bleeding. I had been trying for 9 months to get pregnant when my
GYN suggested trying Clomid. I have read heavy bleeding may be associated with no
ovulation. Does this seen correct? Any other thoughts or advice would be greatly
appreciated.
