I am using clomid 50mgs, right now I am waiting for my period to come since it is late by 3 weeks and i am not pregnant. Can I just take the clomid without a period? I have read of women that do this to reset their cycles is it true?

Clomid(clomiphene citrate) is a medicine used for inducing ovulation. It acts on the hypothalamus to stimulate Gonadotropin releasing hormone(Gn-RH). Gn-RH in turn stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete Follicle stimulation hormone (FSH) and Luteinization hormone (LH). Both FSH and LH are responsible for egg-cell development and the production of sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone). The medicine is used for 5 days and then you wait to conceive. This treatment can be repeated 3 times at most. Clomid has no effect if the problem is present in the ovaries (primary hypogonadism).
