Brief Answer:
may be pregnant. Wait for couple of days to test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through the query and understood your concern.

The Fertomid is to induce ovulation. So missing period in this cycle may be due to pregnancy or due to other cause. The chance of being pregnant is more after taking fertomid. So you need to wait for couple of days more and get done urine pregnancy test (kit will be available. you can test it at home) This will help in diagnosis.

If no periods and the test comes negative then USG abdomen & pelvis or pervaginal scan or serum HCG levels will diagnose whether you are pregnant or not.

SO my advise is to wait for couple of days and get tested for it. You should start taking folic acid supplement since expecting for pregnancy.

I hope this information helps you and answered your question. Feel free to ask if any further query and I will be glad to answer them.

Wish you good health.

Regards
