I finally tracked down my order at a pharmacy over in downtown Chicago... had to go through one of those middleman services after scouring every single drugstore in the city with no luck elsewhere.
But man, the markup is insane. Two boxes cost me nearly$133

Hey girls, I could really use some advice!
So, this is my first cycle using Clomiphene. Today is day 4 of my cycle, and I've been taking it for about 2 to 5 days now, but my period has completely stopped. Usually, it lasts about 6 days, so I'm a bit worried. My doctor isn't picking up her phone right now, and honestly, I'm kind of freaking out. If anyone knows anything about this, I’d be so grateful!

Is anyone selling or giving away Clomiphene tablets?

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?

Has anyone else taken them from days 5-9? I assume his prescription is fine...
Furthermore...
My period arrived today (it was five days late). I took a test yesterday and it was negative, but my period seems unusually light right at the start. Has this happened to you? It’s quite dark, almost as if it's already at the end of its cycle...
I'm a bit confused. Is this normal while using Clomiphene?

I followed the same schedule, days 5-9, taking one in the morning and one at night. Women with shorter cycles or earlier ovulation typically start sooner, but that's up to the doctor. My ovulation occurred on day 15, and I conceived during that same cycle 😍, so the first box worked for me. 😉 As for your other question, from what I recall reading on various forums, it is perfectly normal for your period to be late and appear different after taking Clomiphene.

Hey moms and moms-to-be, I need some advice. My cycles are regular, but ovulation isn't always a sure thing. We’re trying for our second kid, and a few months back, my doctor put me on Clomiphene from day 2 to day 6, along with 14 days of Duphaston. The thing is, I can't for the life of me remember when I was supposed to take the Duphaston—was it before my period, after? I've totally blanked on what the doc actually said.
Since my husband is away for work right now (he's a merchant marine), I decided to just kick off the Clomiphene this cycle. But I'm feeling pretty conflicted because I haven't been taking the Duphaston, mostly because I have no clue if I was even meant to. For those who've been there, when did you start the Duphaston, or did you even bother with it at all?
