Started my 1st round of Clomid yesterday. Please help.

My doctor started me on my first 50 mg of Clomid today. I started my period this past Sunday so I am taking the Clomid through cycle days 3-7. I usually have really long periods, (sometimes lasting 2 months) and they are always irregular. I was just wondering if anyone else has gone through anything similar. I wanted to know if taking the Clomid will force my period to shorten up if I ovulate. Or will I still have a crazy long period.

I haven't had trouble with long periods, but I can tell you that clomid really shortened my regular 5-6 day period by half.  Good luck!

I was in a very similar situation when I was first put on Clomid.  Ideally the Clomid should make you ovulate sooner, and your period should be shorter.  I was having 50 day cycles, and my first cycle on Clomid was only 19 days.  After a few cycles they regulated and shortened to about 32 days. GL!

Sorry OP, I thought you meant long cycles.  I don't have experience with unusually long periods.

Thank you, both. I'm very nervous that even once I take my last Clomid pill on Saturday, that my period will continue on forever and I won't be able to start trying around my 12-14 days. My doctor said something about it not being an actual period when I bleed like that, but rather Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding. I haven't heard anything about if Clomid can fix that or not.

Should I call my doctor back if I don't stop my period after my last pill?
