Taking clomid...no period but not pregnant?

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???

Hi,
Although I don't know much about fertility, I find it odd that your doctor has put you on Clomid already - looking at your age and the lengh of time that you have tried to get pregnant, this seems to be somewhat premature? Many people can take up to 2 years to get pregnant. Are you seeing an OBGYN that specializes in fertility? Did they ever find the cause of irregular periods? Underactive thyroid? Endometriosis? adhesions? over excercising? 2nd opinions are always a good thing as doctors are human.

The doctor explained to me that she normally would not put me on Clomid this soon (normally she would wait 1 full year of trying for regular couples) but since all the signs are pointing to amenorrhea, it could take me twice as long if not longer. But so far there is no explanation as to why. I was told that if after 3 months I still wasn't pregnant she would then arrange for my husband to be checked. If he came back clear she would then up the dosage. If still no success after another three months she would then refer me to a fertility specialist after taking some test. Sorry, I forget the name. I am currently taking Provera to induce another period so I can take the second round of Clomid. It just all seems too weird. I have always been irregular but I know that I am capable of becoming pregnant At 18, I miscarried but that was almost 10 years ago. I get yearly exams and have never shown any other signs of any other issues or concerns. I was checked about 3 years ago for Thyroid issues but they all came back clear. So we'll see...

hi, i had the same problem with you.  I wasn't regular since I was little and the doctor had to put me on BC so I can get my montly period. Last two month I took a cycle of clomid but I didn't get pregnant or get a period.  I am wonder what is going on and if I am able to get pregnant at all.  You're luckier than me 'cause you can talk to your doc.  My doctor is going on a personal leave and she won't be back until March 2008 and her partner wouldn't take me.  I don't know what to do now...but I hope you will get pregnant soon.

I too am going through this as well.  Took Clomid 50 mg on day 5 of my last period, negative blood test, negative hpt, and yet no period.  My doc just gave me Prometrium to bring on a period and then going to 100 mg of Clomid.  On day 2 of the Prometrium and praying that I bleed quickly so I  can go on round two.  My son was conceived using Clomid 50 but this period skipping thing never happened.  Very weird to me too, but glad I'm not alone.

Hello,

I just have a question. I too was taking Clomid 50mg for 3 months - got my period the first 2 but the third month I ovulated but still no period. Took HPTs but they all came back negative. I am now in day 40 of my cycle. My breasts are extremely tender... and I had very light bleeding a few days before my period was due (implantation bleeding?). My question is - have any of you experienced "pregnancy" symptoms while not getting your period on Clomid? I am also peeing a lot.

Hope everyone gets pregnant soon!!!

I'm also having cramps on my lower abdomen, feeling nausea all the time since 28 May 2016. No period and took four hpt came back negative. I'm not sure what could be happening as I'm 9 days late after taking clomid on the 21 May. Frustrated.

I too took my first round of clomid 50mg. I have taken a hpt every other week since day 30. It now is day 75! and no period. I was waiting to start my second round, however, I think I need to call the Dr. and take the medication that makes you start your period.  SOOOOO Frustrating! But I can not complain, I am blessed with 2 beautiful children already, my husband and I just really would like 2 more.

I am also on Clomid 50mg. I stopped BCP December 08 and no period since. Doc started me on Clomid in Sep and I am just finished my second round. As I wasn't getting periods and my LH levels were 1 to start off he said just pick a day and start. No period after first round, negative HPT so he just said start second round on day 28 (day one being first Clomid tab as I've no periods). Myself and hubby are dying for a baby and this is just so frustrating! Can't believe there are so many of us, makes me feel a bit better!

Wow, I can't believe how many people are out there that are like me!  I'm 28 yo and me and my hubby have been trying for over 2 years for a baby... However, my normal period would come every 2 1/2 to 6 months...  Dr. thought initially I had PCOS and after a dose of Provera, put me on Clomid 50 mg and had me take some blood tests/Ultrasound.  Blood tests came back negative. Ultrasound came back negative. But still no period after day 55 while on Clomid.  Dr. gave me another round of Provera and upped my Clomid dose to 100 mg. Now I'm on day 45 with 100 mg Clomid and no sign of my period.   Dr. just recently gave me another dosage of Provera (after HPTs and tests at Dr.'s office were negative) and now I'm beginning 150 mg.  My GYN was very stumped about what was going on seeing that all of my tests came back normal.  If the 150 doesn't work, then I have to start paying for a specialist to try to figure out what is going on...  Does anyone know what is that cause of this or what could be causing my abnormal periods, even when on Clomid??

Hi,
I'm in the same position. Aged 29, trying for a couple of years, very irregular periods. Most recently, no period for 15 months despite taking metformin for the past 9 months, so I took progesterone to induce period and then 50mg clomid. Now on day 50 without period and negative pregnancy tests, though I've felt nauseous the last couple of weeks. Called the nurse who advised me to wait until the new year before contacting her again about a second cycle. Good to know others in the same position - be good to hear if it works out for any of you. Fingers crossed.

I too am having the exact same problems as you.  I stopped bc in late may 09 and have not had a period.  I bled once after one round of provera, but it did not regulate my cycle.  I took 50 mg of clomid in dec 09 and did not ovulate.  It is now day 31 of my cycle and no period, although I have had some cramps and bloating.  I am planning on taking a HPT on day 35, if it's negative I'm going to call the dr and they will up me to 100 mg clomid.  I am supposed to call the dr when my period starts, but if I get a negative HPT, I'll just tell them my period started.  Otherwise the dr wanted to put me on bc for a month to have a "normal" cycle.  That's a step in the wrong direction.  Also, they really only want you to bleed before clomid to be 100% sure you aren't pregnant....if I didn't ovulate, I can't be pregnant. I am only 25 years old and never thought I would have trouble getting pregnant.  My husband and I are soooo ready for our first baby, I'm hoping and praying that 100 mg clomid will finally do the trick!  Best wishes to you and everyone ttc!!

HI,

I am in the same boat as you only I am on day 32 of my cycle, and still no AF after 50 mg of clomid.  Did you say you are going to take the Clomid without an AF?  If this is the case let me know.  As I know I ovulated this cycle on day 18. I had spotting from the 29 day to today but it was very scant (not sure if it was AF or not?).  Boobs hurt, moody, etc.  But don't feel like I did before I had my miscarriage in October.  I am so lost about all of this.  I am 26 and NEVER thought this would be an issue for me.  I was diagnosed with PCOS in janaury 2009, and now I don't know what to do??  I took 2 preg tests and both were Neg, my cycles before the cloimd were 40 days long and I thought I was ovulating but I don't think it was a 'good' ovulation.  Now I am not sure what to think?!

Hi All,

I am also in the same situation as you all. The only difference is my husband and I have already got 2 boys. We had no problems concieving them and cant under stand why we are having problems now. We both have been checked out and all tests have come back normal. I have been on clomid 50g for 5 mths now and still no baby. My periods are so irregular now they range from 28- 34 days. I have been off the pill for 2years. So now we are both lost for words our fertility specialist says theres nothing wrong but deep down I know that there has to be something...

I too am having some of the same problems. On the 1st month of taking Clomid I got a period on day 32; 2nd month of clomid I got a period on day 30; 3rd month it is day 32 and I have had lower pressure in the center of my abdomen for about 1 week and no period and a negative PT. Could I still be pregnant? Can someone who had a similar story and became pregnant please let me know. Thanks a bunch!!!

First round on clomid, I seemed to have ovulated 2 times this month. Took the OPK, it was positive on my usual CD11. On CD 13 or so, noticed I was drying up, but continued to test. On CD16, 17, &18, the test came out positive once again! This has never happened to me. So, apparently I ovulated twice and later than usual. I usually ovulate on CD9 or CD11. AND my cycles are between 24-26 days long. I am now on CD 46, 27DPO. I had what I thought was my period coming, watery brown blood on CD28. It felt like I was actually leaking, or peed on myself, so I put a pad on just knowing I had started. But after that, it stopped for the day. The following morning, I awoke to "feeling like I was leaking" again, and discovered watery brown blood, still thinking, it was going to start. That was it for the day as well. But ever since then, I've been feeling like "I'm leaking" this time just watery CM. CM is very stretchy, "fertile" consistency. I thought my bleeding was implantation bleeding. So I decided to test on CD33 14DPO, it was negative, but it WASN'T my morning urine. I'm so confused. My bb's ache, and I've been waking up nauseated for about 4-5 days. AND I've gained 5lbs overnight! I always gain this much when my period is due, but no period!
Went to Doc's the other day, negative urine test, blood work taken.

Has anyone gotten any news on how long it took to get your AF, or what the doc did to make AF start...... ANY suggestions?

So worried and starting to stress.... I'm 36 yrs soon to be 37 and have tried getting pregnant for the last year. We had two miscarriages last year, one being an eptopic pregnancy. My OB ordered a lost pregnancy work up and discovered I have Factor V blood disorder. This can be a cause in miscarriages. It's been 35 days since my last period and typically I'm right on target day 27/28 never a day sooner or later. I began taking Clomid 50mg last month. I've taken two HPT (both negative) and finally alerted my OB and they had me come in and take a blood test. This to was negative. I've been experiencing pains in my left side (the kind when you are going to start) for the last 2 1/2 weeks. So scared that something is terribly wrong... Has anyone experienced anything like this or have any words of advice?
