It's touted that Clomid can cause a false positive if you test too early. Clomid will often delay the time of the surge (if you have been surging on your own). In anovulatory women who ovulate on Clomid, it's exceedingly rare to see a positive surge before cycle day 14, but most folks suggest starting to test on cycle day 12. Then, if you use a 9-day test kit, and you haven't surged by the end of the kit, by definition you have an abnormal cycle and can take some Provera, induce a period, and start a higher dose of Clomid without losing any time.
