I would personally try CD3-7 myself, especially considering you O late. Maybe you can discuss it with your dr?
Unfortunately I'm dealing with numerous major domestic issues (severe mold and water dam, posessions destroyed) at the moment as well as family drama and I'm really struggling with my back/pain so babymaking is on the back burner.
remember, our results with Clomid are Clomid + LE Diet and other sway factors. Studies have shown Clomid only sways pink by 3-5% in the general population.
I do think that you will probably ovulate on your own once things get kickstarted with Provera but at the same time, the Clomid would guarantee it.
Would not bother with the fertility specialist because I don't think it's warranted yet.
I think it is well within the realm of possible, even quite likely you will O in a reasonable amount of time with the Clomid. That's what it DOES. I don't think this is your "normal" setting and is residue from the BCP and should react much easier to the C than someone with say, PCOS.Quote:

Atomic - thanks for the reassurance! And after some internet looks, seems like I saw a lot of DSs born on the low dose Clomid as well!
I think I may wait it out until June-ish to see if Provera puts hormones back on track. And if not, I'm not out anything and will start Clomid. Plus, then hopefully we can really get the timing right when we're both home.

Question: today was day 10 and final day of Provera. I woke up, took my final pill, and then went to the bathroom. (TMI) Noticed a good amount of blood in my underwear and when I wiped. It was more dark and not really bright red (or at least I couldn't tell if it was dark because there was more of it?)
Anyway, two questions:
1) is it normal to start before the end of pills? Is this a bad sign?
2) my doctor told me to count first day of red blood as CD1. Do I go ahead and count today even though it was darker? I put a tampon in but it was less this afternoon when I checked. I'm thinking the last pill I took made it slow down today though.

No, it happens!
Yes, still count today as CD 1. I think the better rule of thumb is, "If you think it's AF, it is." It is totally normal esp. with Provera for it to be darker, this is because that lining has been there for a while and it's oxidized to some extent. :)
Thanks for the reassurance!
It must have just been a fluke the other day (or the last Provera pill I took put a halt on it) as the past two days have just been some light spotting, nothing like AF. But, this morning my temp started going down so I've got fingers crossed that she comes full-blown soon! I can't believe I'm saying it, but I'd really actually like to clear everything out. Thanks for all your support - we'll see what the next few months bring! :)
No, that is pretty normal with the Prov. (it's like your body goes, ok progesterone for 10 days, I think I'm gonna have a period now) and don't be surprised if this is it - if you never have a full blown normal AF. Remember, this isn't a "real" AF, it's just whatever uterine lining you had coming off.
You are great at giving reassurance, Atomic. I felt like after reading horror stories online how terrible Provera AF is for others that something was wrong. It's picked up, but nothing more than light/medium for the past few days. Guess I got a little lucky with that and no terrible side effects like worse cramps or anything. Back down to lower temps so that's what looks great too. We'll see what the next few months bring! [emoji4]

Totally within the realm of normal reeponses to P. Glad to see it worked out and a proper AF has arrived. I hope it's the last intervention you need!
