Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are using correct drugs. I would suggest you to use medicine under the advice of the gynecologist. Clomiphene citrate will help in induction of ovulation in 80% cases and increase the chance of pregnancy to around 50%. So it should be taken from 3rd to 8th day of cycle. Noreethisterone contain progesterone and in your case it will not act as contraceptive. It should be taken in 2nd phase of cycle, from the 16th day.
It helps to regularize the period by correcting hormone imbalance. It makes the uterine environment favorable for implantation and support pregnancy. You can also start folic acid tablet. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise. Do sex everyday or alternate day from 10th to 20th day of cycle. There may be a chance of pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar
