Longer cycle on Clomid?

Question

Does anyone on Clomid 50mg experience longer menstral cycles? I'm onto day 44 with no signs of my period coming.. When tested for pregnancy it came back negative and I know I ovulated on day 22-23. 
Any advice is appreciated xx

I'm so sorry hun!  I feel your pain.  I'm completely exhausted as well and am officially on break!  No temping, no opk's, no meds and no dr. visits.  I'm tired of stressing over everything.  I'm not giving up completely, just needing a break. 

I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you. I wished I could fix it all for everyone of us.  I just wished I had some answers.  I have no clue why I can't conceive. :(  I think it's worse not knowing.  At least if there was a reason, we could treat it OR at least deal with it.  This sounds like a wonderful plan!!  It's okay to break down, we all need to express how we feel.  I kept it all balled up for years, especially when our families would ask " so when is it going to be your turn??".  I was caught in a bad mood one day and just let it slip that we ARE trying, that's all we can do.  I feel bad for my mom because it would be her first grandchild and I can't give her that.  No matter how hard I try. :(   Anyways, just hang in there...Do what's best for you!!  Sounds like a wonderful plan of "attack". :D  Wishing you all the best. Take care hun and please keep us posted. :)

Seen the specialist today as the pain became worse. Had an ultrasound which showed no baby :-(. He has suggested another Laproscope and prescribed Ralivera fir one week to bring on my menstral then a Xray of the tubes. Go back in 2 weeks to develope a plan of attack...
Felt bad as I broke down infront of him and my mother. Once I seen the ultrasound screen I know all we had done all last year didn't work :-( now back to square one then up the Clomid to 150mg. I'm exausted! 
Thanks for your support and advice ladies xx
good luck to you all xx

I completely know how you feel.  Been married 12 yrs, no kids yet.  We just "assumed" in time it would happen. That went on for about 8 yrs then painful periods getting worse on top of being unable to conceive I went to a dr.  She sent me to a specialists, that suspected Endometriosis.  He did my surgery and found Endo, cyst on fallopian tube and polyp in the middle of my uterus.  That's been almost a year ago and i've recently been on the clomid so I'm hoping something works soon! 

Please let us know how you're doing..keep us posted on how things go!!  Take care!!  Still sending lots of SSBD!

Thanks ladies! I too hope they don't come but I've learnt to not get my hopes up as I've been ttc for 6 yrs before I had any medical assistance and  each month they came my heart broke. 
I'm sceduled to see my Gyno on 9th feb and my GP prefers to leave this to my specialist!
I'll just sit back and wait with my fingers secretly crossed.. Thanks again and good luck 2u2

Yes. I was normally a cd20/21 but when I was on clomid and progesterone my cycles were longer but only by 8 and 9 days. I agree with Des that you should have seen a cycle around cd 36. Have you called your Dr to see if they want a blood test and if it comes back negative to probably put you on provera?

Hi hun!  

  I honestly have no clue why yours is taking so long. I mean if you ovulated on day 22-23 you should have AF around cd 36 at the earliest. No clue why she's not showing.  PRAYING she don't but if she's gonna show I feel like it's best for her to come on and get it over with already.  
Anyways, what I was going to say also is YES.  I have been on Clomid for 3 months now and I was on 50mg first time and my cycle was like normal and then they upped it to 100 mg and that threw me off a couple of days.  I usually ovulate on cd 17 or 18 and this put me ovulating on cd 21 both months!  Now my cycles are around 33 to 34 days long.  I have heard it can make you ovulate later and that in turn would cause your cycle to be longer.   I do hope however that not only does this help but that your AF doesn't show her face for another ohh..9 months?? ;)  Take care!! Lots of SSBD!
