I took Provera for 7 days. It has been ten days and there is no sign of a period yet. I figured that I will wait until December, but if it does not come on by then, has anyone ever tried going straight to Clomid without the Day 1 menses?

It can take up to 14 days for AF to show after Provera treatment.

Yeah... that.

I would personally not start clomid without having a full period first.

The reason for inducing is 1. to have a fresh, clean uterine lining for a baby (not SUPER important as women can and do get pregnant with spontanious late ovulations and do just fine) and 2. more important, to make sure you are not trying to induce ovulation while your body is waiting on menstruation.

If you were on CD18 and had not O'ed, and took clomid, it might work. But say you were on CD30, figured AF was never going to show and just started clomid... not knowing you had actually O'ed 4 days ago so your body was in a progesterone state... the clomid would not be able to induce ovulation because the progesterone in your body would be preventing ovulation.

I would give the provera a few more days. If no AF by 14 days, call your doc... they may want to do a scan or blood work and then tell you to just start the clomid or give you some other course of action.

Thanks for the info Runnerduck and Innkeepermommy. I guess I am being impatient. This is only day 8 of waiting for AF. If I am this bad now, I cannot even imagine how I will be after the injectible for the 2ww. Oy!

I'm in the same boat and feeling impatient, too. I did 6 days of Provera Tue - Sun (had 7 but lost one) and on Thursday (Thanksgiving) I had some red streaking on the TP... have had a LITTLE bloody/brownish smeary stuff when I wipe but really still no real period yet. I am caught between counting today as CD5 and starting clomid... and thinking this isn't REALLY CD5. I am afraid I will start it and THEN AF will come just as I finish it or soon after. Don't want THAT to happen. So I guess I will just keep waiting and hope the real deal shows...
