Hi Rosa
Welcome, don't be too scared about seeing the FS they are generally really helpful and will answer any of your concerns. All they will want to know is about your cycle, how long you have been TTC and a history of your problems to put you on the right path. Sometimes they might want to do a Laproscopy to make sure that there is no problems on the inside, but don't be scared of this as it is always better to know if there is anything there and to treat it, rather than let it go unchecked.
As for Clomid, we are all taking this to try and get pregnant. Clomid is taken early in your cycle for around 6 days to help stimulate a follicle to grow, the dosage you take will probably start at a low level, either 25mg - 50mg to see if this works. You may get scanned at around days 10-14 to see if the follicle is at a good size (generally 20mm) and then wait for O, which depending on your cycle can vary from days 14 - 18. As you mentioned you have not had a period for 56 days (not uncommon, I would go for anywhere up to 8 mths without one) you might find that you are prescibed Provera (or similar) to bring on a period. This is a progesterone drug which makes your body have a period. As for the side effects, Clomid seems to affect us all differently, I get an increased Body Temp and bloating, some girls get headaches and others get vision disturbances or a combination of any of these, but they generally subside once O has happened.
Good luck with the appointment and I hope you get positive feedback on your search for a baby and once again welcome. The girls here are really great and are all experiencing different things so it is really helpful hearing there stories so you know your not the only one.
