I do have a period every month. My periods are usually somewhere around
40 days apart. We all know that means there is good chance that my
cycles are anovulatory. I think I will try the Clomid because I read
that injectables have a higher chance of multiple births than Clomid
does. Who knows, I may surprise myself and ovulate on my own! We'll
see.

>If you don't get your period some doctors use provera to bring one on then about on day 5 you start on clomid (Sometime it takes a few months until they figure out the right dosage). If clomid doesn't work for you see if you could do the injectiables (not fun but I have a friend who it worked for).

Then I gave up with that and I just take metiform and have changed my diet by not eatting a lot of carbs and doing 1/2 hr tae bo alternated with walking about 4 to 5 days a week and My sugar levels are great now and my temps are going normal finally something I have never seen before. I actually got my period on my own now.
