Taking clomid...no period but not pregnant?

[reeree1343]

I am 28 years old and have had an irregular cycle since I was 10. BC is the only thing that keeps me regular. I've been off BC 1 yr July 05. Have had a total of maybe 4 periods since. Gyn ruled oud polycystic ovaries before putting me on Clomid. I took my 1st cycle in May 05. June 14th was exactly 35 days since 1st day of last period. Hpt came back negative so doc wanted to have blood test done. That also came back negative. (This was all done on 14th). It's been 10 days and still no sign of a period. I took another Hpt and still coming out negative. Called doc back and she's recommending that I get a 2nd blood test done before giving me provera to bring on another period so I can take the 2nd cycle of Clomid. Is it normal to still NOT have a period after taking a drug to make you ovulate which in turn would bring on a period if no egg is fertilized? What are the chances of the 2nd blood test coming back positive?? Could there be something seriously wrong with me???

thanks for your sharing. I have the silmiliar experience too here. I am 35 and had miscarriage last year, trying since but no luck. my husband and I both had full lab test and nothing is wrong. i took ovulation home test each month and I did ovulate each month. so doc put me on 50mg clomid and I also took ovulation home test and blood test on 21 day. the weird thing is that home test shows I am ovulating. but my blood test is only 5 - telling I am not ovulating. and my period did not come on day 30 still. so I am totally confused. even my doc said it is a puzzle! I  don't know if I am ovulating or not. and did clomid put me off ovulating? doc told me to do clomid challenge test this month. increase clomid to 100mg. take blood test before taking clomid, another blood test after clomid, then another blood test on day 21. but first of all I have to wait for my period to come! I am at the end of my patience and totally frustrated now.

I was taking clomid the first month got pregnant and lost the baby around seven weeks. Been taking clomid for months and no results. I have taken a couple of breaks and start up clomid again with normal period. I had no period before and I took a pill called provera that started my period. Now my doctor move out state. I am still taking the medicine. Now I took clomid for a month and took a month break. When I took month off. I had no period. I don't know what else to do.

I have been at this for a while.  Being the optimist I am.  I went off bc @ 10yrs ago and started trying.  My ob/gyn put me through 6 cycles of clomid and I ovulated everytime.  I am pretty much on cycle to the tee.  When there was no success with the clomid she referred me to a fertility specialist.  He went through all his test.  My husband is fine.  My tubes ended up being blocked.  I had surgery.  Found out I had endometriosis pretty severly.  At the time we didn't know how bad it was.  I had 1 tube removed w/part of one ovary.  The surgery took @ 4 1/2 hrs.  We still keep trying.  Our age is getting too far up there so we don't have many options that are cost effect that insurance will cover.  This occured in late Sept. '09.  In late June of this year I thought I was passing kidney stones and it turned out I had a endometrial cyst @ 11cm on my good ovary and another that was 3.4cm on what was left of my other.  I went in for surgery.  Again, it took almost 5hrs.  My doctor said my insides looked like they were super glued together.  I have severe stage 4 endometriosis.  I have nothing but a small part of an ovary and my uterus left.  She said the best time for my last chance to try was now while I was cleaned out since the endo. grows so rapidly.  My first cycle of 50mg of clomid I ovulated, but my period only lasted 3 very short light days which was not normal for me at all.  Even after the surgery I had a normal (for me) cycle.  Lasting 10+days.  My second cycle of 50mg clomid I didn't ovulate and still have not started on day 31.  My cycles are no more than 29 days.  If they are off it runs at 25 days.  I've been w/my husband for over 20yrs and I just feel like this is just some kind of cruel joke.  I guess I just wanted to see others in similar situations.  And to let others know, sometimes I guess we just have to count our other blessings. I thank god everyday for my husband and that other than this my overall health is good.

Hi everyone, jus thought i let u guys know that i am not pregnant, blood test came back negative even though i had two positive HPT. My Dr. has told me to stop taking the progesterone suppositories and after three days i would have a period, then i have to go back to the office on day 3 of my period and do ultrasound and blood test.
Okay so since am new to this fertility thing and tryna conceive i have a whole lot of questions to ask my dr. when i see her again. I must a lot of things are not explained to you when you start taking Clomid to conceive, the side effects, the false preg.. test, why no period when ultrasound said that you ovulated  and there was no period. am confused and not well informed. Thanks to you guys and was able to understand that you can ovulate and not have a period. My doc even said that i you have a period after about 2 weeks but i didnt and i think that the supp.. have something to do with it.

Hello all, i have taken clomid 50mg for 6days and i ovulated as per the ultrasound which was been monitored closely by my doctor. she was able to tell us the right time to have sex in order to get pregnant. It has been 13days since ovulated, i have no period, i did 3 home preg... test with 2 positive result and 1 negative. Am going to do blood test on thursday to confirm preganancy, i really hope that i am preggas, cuz the entire experience with tryna get preggas is very tedious and time consuming, i hope it's worth it at the end.
As i read from previous comment above that you might not or may have a period after takin Clomid even if you are not preggas, i find this very confusing, if you ovulated and you have sex the time the dr says and you are not preggas then where the d egg go? if you didnt have a period weird i must say. hmmm confused/dont fully understand this. good luck to us all who are tryna conceive, keep the faith ya'all.

Hi ttc7,
If you have not yet had a period. Ask your doctor for provera or a similar drug which will simply bring on a bleed (it is called a with drawl bleed). Then you can commence another round of clomid. We had our 1st cycle successful with clomid for our 1st child. I went back on it for our 2nd child, still just 50mg. And it took 8 trials to conceive her. We are currently struggling to conceive our 3rd child. As I am not getting my periods at all after clomid. We have been trying for nearly 1 yr this time. And we have actually consulted a fertility Dr. As we are now looking at the possibility of IVF. As he has changed the dosage from 50mg, to 100mg, then finally 150mg!!! And still no period. Even though we had a vaginal ultra sound, at around day 11. And he said I have 1 mature egg. We are seeing him on Tuesday as I rang up to receive my blood test results (to confirm ovulation), and he left a note with the receptionist to make an appointment to see him. This can not be a good sign :(
All the best.
