hi and welcome to hcm

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query. It is possible but it is rare and if there wasn't ovulation within 7-11 day after last pill then it is very unlikely that it will happen after this period and much possible was that clomide therapy didn't cause ovulation which is common scenario. You don't have to be worried, you can try again and in most cases ovulation will occur sooner or later but this time it seems like it didn't happen and you don't have to wait for it. Wish you good health

Thanks for writing.
It means that this follicle is bit larger than normal size and there is low chance that it will rupture and cause ovulation,although as I said delayed ovulations are possible but rare and if there wasnt ovulation yet then it will almost surely not occur in this cycle. Clomide was working and affected follicle growth but XXXXXXX ovulation didnt occur,this is not strange,just need to be patient in future.
