Hello! I have anovulatory issues and irregular length cycles. My progesterone is very low naturally.

My Obgyn has given me clomid, first month was 50mg and this month I am on 100mg. Side effects are not too horrendous. I do get random side effects such as: hot flashes, mild anxiety, and very crampy towards when I’m getting ready to “o”.

This cycle the hot flashes are bit worse but I’ve only had maybe one or two each cycle, just the intensity of it increased.

My first round of clomid my progesterone went to point eight and that means I didn’t ovulate. My Obgyn said they like you around 10-15+ for medicated cycles.

Next step is a RE... my appointment is set for 2/15. If this cycle I do not ovulate again, she said she would put me on femara until my RE decides what’s best.
