Post-Clomid Cycle question

Hey y'all! So I took clomid for my July cycle. They started me on it later in my cycle so I ended up having about a 45 day cycle. Didn't take it this month because I overstimulated.

I'll admit I didn't temp or use OPK's at all this month. We barely even tried because Ive just been in such a blah mood!

My question is should I expect my period like my normal cycle or will it just be random because of the clomid.

I feel like a dummy asking this but this is my first experience with clomid and I don't feel like I know much of anything. Lol!!

TIA.

    In my personal experience, my period came just like normal when it was time. I had to use Provera to begin my cycle to start Clomid, but it came on it's own when it was time.

    Thanks @rachelkeller‌! I should have started Sunday (and I haven't tested but don't think for one second I'm pregnant)... Guess it's just a waiting game now! I'm anxious to start my next cycle with the RE!

    I only did one cycle of Clomid, but my cycle came just like normal. I did a trigger shot though, so we knew when ovulation occurred and I waited my typical LP length before AF came!

    @meld42 I might have confused this question.  This is my 2nd period post clomid.  The first period came exactly 2 weeks after my IUI/clomid/trigger shot... exactly when it was supposed to.  This is my first post-clomid non-medicated cycle and I was curious if my cycle would be off this month because of the length of my clomid cycle.  I hope that makes sense. lol.

    Could you sense when you ovulated by your cervical mucus?
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April

    I was over stimulated on my second round of clomid also. The cycle I took off after that was 50+ days and final had to take provera to start my period even though I had always started on my own before. I would give it a few extra days to start then call your doctor.

    My period came just like it normally would the first month on Clomid.  Last month my cycle was a few days longer than normal, but I'm assuming it was because I took Progesterone.

    @Emma61210 and @SarahP1986

    I am starting my first clomid cycle this month and am a little bit nervous. Just wondering, how did you know that you overstimulated? What is the recovery time?

    Ooooohhh, my bad! re-reading it, your question does make sense. My brain is fried these days! As far as I know, and what happened with me, your cycles after a clomid cycle should be pretty close to your body's version of normal!

    During my first 2 cycles my period came on time, but the third cycle I was three days late. Of course I thought it was a BFP, but no just a BFN.

    Me: 33, DH: 32

    TTC: 2 years
    Fertility blood tests all normal
    Tilted uterus
    3 day ultrasound 17 follicles
    HSG: 11/13/13- tubes open
    DH SA: SUPER sperm (145 million, 84% motility, 22% morphology)
    All infection disease and immunity blood tests NORMAL
    FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

    IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

    3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

    3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

    Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

    JANUARY SIGGY CHALLENGE...This is so me!

    @jenmcd11 I didn't find out I had overstimulated until after my BFN.  I went in to start month 2 and I had one follicle that was 6CM!! crazy.. but thankfully it was not producing estrogen so I didn't have to worry about it becoming a cyst... just had to sit a month out and hope it shrinks.... Good luck to you! Let me know how your first month goes!
