First month ttc and need encouragement

Started Clomid 50mg on cd4-8, DTD on cd12, 14, 16, and 18. Had my progesterone test cd26 and got the results this morning. My levels were very low so they said unlikely I ovulated. I had some pain in my right ovary on cd12 and cd14 but I guess that didn't mean anything...I'm still going to take hpt to be safe before I start my Provera again to induce AF. Dr prescribed metformin this morning to start at 100mg/day for a week and then increased by 100mg/week along with next month increase to 100mg of Clomid for cd3-7. Has anyone else had similar experience? I'm starting to go back to the gym tomorrow because I'm overweight and I know that's only hurting my chances. I'm 5'7" and weigh about 220...I keep reading that even a small amount of weight loss can help, but I've always had irregular periods until I gained about 65 pounds a few years ago. Then they just stopped once I got off birth control pills. I guess I'm just wanting to hear anything helpful or encouraging from anyone who can relate. I didn't mean to, but I had gotten my hopes up for at least an ovulation and now I just feel like a failure in a way. Thanks to anyone who takes time to respond ???✨baby dust!!
