THanks for the reply
Dec. 23 was the last pill (day nine), bleeding started day 20 - ultrasounds were on day 19 and day 22. Cyst was 2.9mm (not cm) on day 19 and 4 MM then on day 23 so they told me to sit a cycle. Progesterone taken on day 21 and day 23 and showed low levels. I had normal periods on birth control (nine years) but stopped that in june and have not had one on my own since.

Dear jewel_13,
In order for me to accurately answer your question, I need a little more info. First, when you say you finished clomid on Dec. 23, do you mean that December 23 was your last day of clomid, or that was the day your bleeding started after your first month on clomid. Also, do you mean 4 mm, or 4 cm, regarding the size of your cysts? Four mm cysts would suggest you did not respond to the clomid or that the ultrasound was taken early in your cycle (1-5 days after the start of bleeding) whereas 4 cm cysts are larger and could be due to clomid, requiring that you rest a cycle. Regarding whether or not the bleeding was a true period, this depends on whether you ovulated or not. Any progesterone value greater than 3, and certainly greater than 5, suggests that you ovulated.

Doctor's Answer

OK very helpful. You didn't ovulate. The bleeding on day 20 was probably not a regular period. One way of getting back on track would be to have your doctor get another progesterond level, on day 21 after the first day of the unusual vaginal bleeding. If it is positive, wait for a period to restart clomid. If low, then take some provera or prometrium to bring on a period, and then restart clomid. I would also recommend going up on the clomid dose by adding an additional clomid pill every day once you start.
