I have PCOS and never had regular periods. I did 3 rounds of Clomid, the first on 50 mg and was regularly blood tested so they could see what my hormones where doing. I did not ovulate the first or second time but did the 3rd time when I went up to 100 mg but did not conceive. While Clomid will make you ovulate sometimes it does not mean you conceive straight up. I had very long cycles on Clomid and was told IVF would be needed. We went away on a holiday and I conceived straight up, turns out Clomid gave my body a kick start so to speak into ovulating naturally.
While researching the drug I found out that only about 65 tp 70% of women who take it will conceive on it.
Hi Kristie,
I personally would suggest that you call your FS or talk to a GP about having your period for that long. I know it has quite a few possible side effects and honestly can't remember if that is one of them or not. I can tell you that it has not had any effect on my AF length, and I am not aware of anyone I know who is taking it that has had an increased AF length. I am on my 3rd cycle taking clomid. My first cycle I was on 50mg and did not ovulate. I am not on my second cycle at 100mg and my AF length is the same now as it was on 50mg and before I started taking it.
As for when are you going to ovulate, it's different for each person. I was told it would be anywhere from 5-9 days after I stopped taking the clomid, assuming I did ovulate at all. It may take a bit for them to find out what dosage you should be on. I know that they can perscribe up to 150mg. It just depends on your body.
