CeCe, You can pretty safely assume that you are not ovulating when your period comes at 60 day intervals. Normally, when on clomid in pursuit of pregnancy, the medication is taken from days 5 through 9 of the cycle with day 1 being the first full flow day of the period. Ovulation typically occurs, if it is going to, around days 14-17. If a woman has not gotten her period by day 35, I will normally check a pregnancy test and if negative, induce a period so that the next cycle can begin and you can use the clomid again. Given the fact that your cycles are so long, it seems apparent that you are not ovulating. It is my feeling that you either need more clomid or consideration of other options to enhance the ovulatory response... Lynn
