Can Taking Clomid Help With Conceiving?
My husband and I have been trying to concieve for almost a year. My OBGYN prescribed Clomid for use during previous cycle. I am now 4 to 5 days late and have always been regular. I had no PMS symptoms before my cycle was due and have also, always, had them. Now I am experiencing tender/larger breasts, a greater amount of vaginal discharge, slight cramping in my lower left abdomin, and bloating. I took a hpt and it was negative. Do I have reason to believe I am pregnant and had a false negative hpt?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have delayed period by 4 days and you took clomid. Clomid will help to induce ovulation in 80% cases and increase 50% chance of pregnancy. Your delayed period and other symptoms could be due to pregnancy. Urine pregnancy test at 4 days after delayed period may give false negative result.Urine pregnancy test will give positive result 8 to 10 days after delayed period.
I would suggest to go for pregnancy test once your period will delay by 8 to 10 days.You can use clomid for 4 to 6 cycle and then undergo USG scan and ovarain follicle study. If 18-21 mm ovarian follicle size will be there then it cause successful pregnancy. If ovarian follicle not ruptured then HCG injection can be useful. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar
