So, here’s my deal... back about seven years ago, I popped out twins naturally without much of a fight. But then, about six months ago (back in November 2015), I dealt with this endless bleeding and ended up seeing my OBGYN—everything had been totally fine until then. He basically told me my ovaries weren't producing any eggs at all, nothing, not even immature ones. So, he put me on Duphastone for three months just to get my period back under control...
By the third month, I started on Clomiphene because I really want another baby. During my follicle tracking in the fourth month, the doctor said I responded amazingly to the Clomiphene; apparently, I had two mature follicles on each ovary, with one being the dominant one.
He told me exactly when my ovulation would hit so we could time things perfectly, and he wrote me another two boxes of Clomiphene just in case I don't conceive this time. He also mentioned that the first month I took the Clomiphene (which was actually that third month) doesn't really count toward the timeline—it only starts counting from month four.
I’ve been taking them from day 5 to day 9 of my cycle.
I’ve been reading around online that most people take them from days 2–5 or 3–6...
Has anyone else actually taken them from day 5 to 9??? I'm hoping my doctor knows what he's doing and didn't mess up the timing.
Anyway...
My period finally showed up today (it was 5 days late). I took a test yesterday and it was negative, but my period seems weirdly light right from the start? Did you guys experience that too? It’s also pretty dark, almost like it’s already at the end stage.
I’m honestly so confused!!! Is this kind of thing normal while you're on Clomiphene?
