Irregular periods, negative pregnancy test

Hello Dr Amy,

I have very irregular periods. In June, July no period or a positive HPT. In August went and seen my gyno. I was given Provera then Clomid. September, No period or baby. I went back to my gyno again. I was given Provera and Clomid again. After that I had a period a week later. 38 days later I had a period. So my LMP was on 11-27-05, I took Clomid too. Now it has been 43 days later and still no period or a positive HPT. Recent HPT was on Jan 6. negative. Throughout December to now I have been having bad nausea, tiredness, sleepy and a bit of breaking out. Should I take another HPT or I am just not pregnant!

Thank you,
Sammie

Dear Sammie,

I does not sound like you are pregnant, and it sounds like the problem is that you are not ovulating (releasing an egg), so you can't get pregnant.

Clomid is a fertility medication. It is given to women who are not ovulating, to stimulate ovulation. When Clomid works, you either get pregnant or have a regular period. Since neither is happening, you may need a higher dose of medication, or additional fertility tests. Talk to your doctor to understand just what the problem is, and how the doctor plans to treat it.

Sincerely,
Amy
