If the test says negative on the 38th day then you most likely aren't pregnant. Keep trying. Good luck!

QUESTION: Thanks for the quick reply. Do I need to take any pill to get my period now or should I wait for my period to come? How Can I know whether I ovulated or not this month. As I am not pregnant this month, I want to get period quickly and start my 3rd month of Clomid.
Also I am getting some cramps in my ovaries this month, is it normal or is it a symptom of early pregnancy???
Please advice.
Thanks,
Kuyili.

Answer
Hi Kuyili,

You don't need to take any pills to start your period, just wait for it to come. You can buy ovulation tests which tell you if you are ovulating or not. The cramps you are experiencing may be due to the side effects of taking clomid which is normal.
