What Causes Mid-cycele Spotting While On Clomid?
Question: Hi
I have long cycles (33-40 days), in the last 5 cycle, I only got a positive OPK 2/5 months. My progesterone tested low 1.1 so my OB/GYN thought I may not be ovulating. I was started on progesterone this cycle on CD 10. Had an ultrasound on CD 13 and there were no follicles at that point. At the follow up on Day 19, gyno said I could start clomid (50mg) mid cycle. Started taking it CD 20 and had not gotten a positive OPK yet/no temperature dip. CD 22 evening had some very faint light bleeding and woke up on CD 23 with brown discharge. Is this my period? I was told to stop taking progesterone on CD 28 or when I got my period. I don't know if I should finish with clomid pills 4 & 5 and if I should continue with the progesterone. Also if this is my period, would I be okay to start the clomid again on days 5-9 next cycle?
