Question : I have a question. I just moved to a new state so I don't have a obgyn yet. Before I left I had a progesterone serum on day 21 of my cycle. It was high at 22 so the doc said I definitely ovulated. On first round of clomid. I am on day 31 of my cycle. I always am 26-28 days. So I am late. I have had multiple negative tests but feel pregnant. Can I be?

I am never late. Could the clomid have caused a late period? Could the high progesterone have caused a late period?

Detailed Answer:
A late period maybe caused by mild hormonal imbalance.
Yes, the medications can cause it.
Do not read much into it.
You can go for a pelvic ultrasound scan to know the status of the lining of the uterus, and to know what is wrong.
Take care.
