Atomic 6 days late for period

No, your period came because you ovulated later than you think. Taking the iron was coincidental. You could have had a hot bath or ate some garlic or jumped up and down for ten minutes or done nothing at all and it still would have come because it was due. If you ovulated, your period will come (and did). If you hadn't ovulated, you could have taken the iron and it would not have come. Your period was not delayed due to anemia. Periods are never delayed (except for miscarriages). Only ovulation is delayed. Then your period may come late, but it is not because your period itself is late, it's because your ovulation is late and then your 2ww has to be tacked onto that before your period can come.

Do be sure, since your O was late and you had unprotected sex, that you take a pregnancy test the day you are due to start the Clomid. It will probably be negative but we need to be absolutely sure that you aren't pregnant. You can be pregnant and have what seems to be a totally normal period (and this actually happened to me personally!) So I don't want you to start the Clomid without taking a pregnancy test on what you think is CD 3.

I wouldn't have you use the elderberry and Vit. C but it's up to you, of course. being sick may sway pink so for all we know it was a blessing. :)

Okay, that makes since. I’ll definitely take a preggo test tomorrow before taking the clomid. I guess I’ll need to make sure and do the E4d all the way through cd21 right? Or keep going past that?

Keep going! Definitely!! We have had some people ovulate quite late on the Clomid!

Thank you, I’m on cd 8 so we are going to start E4d tonight.

I’m extremely fatigued, I’m positive I’m still anemic but the fatigue is so bad and I’m never like this. I’ve been taking 2,300-4mg of folate because I’m so worried I’m not getting enough and the fiber will make it not absorb properly. Is that too much? Maybe I’m b12 deficient? Will this raise the risk of neural tube defect?
What can I take for the fatigue? B12 or that sways boy? Take Iron more than once a week? I’m on slow fe 45 and I take it 1-2x a week

I think you need to get in to see a doctor. I can't advise you from here. I want you on the iron DAILY for a start.

We can't just take blind guesses about taking this or that, we need an actual blood test to see what is going on. Some people need actual blood infusions of iron or you could have some other thing going on totally.
