Question: I am trying to conceive. My doctor prescribed Duphaston to force a menstrual cycle, and so I could start taking Clomid for ovulation. I am about to start day 4 of Duphaston but woke up this morning with severe cramps. I had some very light spotting last night and this morning, and passed a small amount of fibrous blood. In the past hour since that there hasn't been a menstrual flow as such. Should I keep taking the Duphaston until the end of the 7 day course and then wait for a period before starting the clomid, or can I assume that today is day 1 of my period and therefore I should stop taking Duphaston today and start taking Clomid from day 2 (ie tomorrow)? My doctor told me I should start clomid on day 2 of menses, whenever that occurs. Thank you for your help. I don't know what to do and my doctor isn't contactable on weekends...

Thank you. Is that the case even if i didnt and dont have a proper menstrual flow? What happens if all i get is the spotting and one single time of having a tiny amount of fibrous bloody tissue pass? Is this really still counted as a "cycle"? Enough to start Clomid?

Many thanks. I'm sorry to keep asking more questions, as I just wanted to be very sure. Ive been on Duphaston and clomid for four cycles now. and never had these symptoms before. I got pregnant in July 2013 but had a miscarriage in August 2013. It was only about a teaspoon of fibrous blood that came out (at most) this morning. Is that really enough to call it a cycle? There must still be a lot of lining left in my uterous as i hardly bledat all

Thank you very much Doctor. I appreciate your help
