it's not abnormal to not ovulate on clomiphene - it happens that some people will not ovulate naturally, and even with clomiphene added in there. given that the pills were not taken until day 9, IF your wife is going to ovulate this cycle, it WILL be late - the norm for taking clomid/clomiphene is days 2-6, 3-7 or 5-9. i have never heard of someone taking them from day 9 before.

if your wife doesn't ovulate, she will not be able to conceive. she will need to be ovulating to fall pregnant. i would suggest you follow up as the doctor has recommended. it can take a couple 12 months or more to fall pregnant when ovulating every cycle - when not ovulating, it can take significantly longer.
