Thoughts? Day 44. first cycle of clomid.

Question

Hi! If anyone has any input in this it would be much appreciated. 
Been ttc for two years now. We were a little slow to start meds or anything because we thought that my body was just having a hard time normalizing after birth control for so long. Was diagnosed officially with pcos last year. Obgyn started me on metformin about 5 months ago, but cycles didn't seem to get more regular. The shortest cycle I've had is 36 days. 
Last month I finally tried clomid for the first time. Now I'm on cycle day 44. Negative hpt and no signs of a period coming up. Took opks since day 10 and never got very conclusive results pointing to ovulation.
It seems like if anything the clomid would get things going so I'd at least have a period (if not get pregnant of course). Any thoughts? Would this be a situation where a higher dose might help? I'm a little confused on what I should do next.

Answer

My first cycle of Clomid I was on 50mg and it did not cause ovulation for me. I actually had a 47 day cycle that round! I also thought the Clomid would speed things along but if ovulation didn't occur that isn't the case. My second cycle I was on 100mg and I definitely ovulated and had it confirmed with a blood test, and that cycle was much shorter. 27 days actually and now I'm moving right along to my third round. Hopefully your dosage will be increased and that should help!

Answer

It's hard to say because your AF could still show...soon, or eventually. I too have long irregular cycles. 33-45 days and no, clomid did not make my cycle any shorter unfortunately. I'm on clomid round 4 now, 150mg. Try to test for pregnancy each month after cd 33 for you, just so you aren't wasting money and feeling even more heartbreak month to month (or day to day). The best advice is to call your obgyn or RE depending on who you are seeing.  They might say wait until cd50 then call them back or maybe they can do a blood test for pregnancy.  If you can afford or if you can get cheapy hpt's then test every other day as hcg will keep doubling or increasing each day. Hang in there. Long cycles suck! I know! 😘  Doctor or nurse advice will be the best bet. They'll know what to do next for you. Good luck! You're not out until AF shows!
