I don't know what sleeping ovaries are, but I'm quite sure you shouldn't take clomid until after a period starts, on day 3 or 5, whatever was prescibed. If you haven't been ovulating regularly on your own, which it sounds like you haven't, the doctor is supposed to prescribe something (progersterone, I think) that you take for several days that will get you to have a period and then you are supposed to start the clomid. That's what they always did for me. If you don't get another period within 30 days or so after taking Clomid for 5 days, then they need to check you again and increase the Clomid dose if necessary the next time. Most doctors prescibe 50 mg per day the first time, and if that doesn't work they can increase it to 100 mg or even 150 mg if necessary. I couldn't tell from your post if you started taking the clomid without having a period first, so I hope this helps answer at least part of your questions.
