No ovulation: Clomid (clomiphene) as prescribed for women who are not ovulating. If you're not ovulating then you would not expect to have normal regular periods. Irregular periods are what we would expect for someone who was prescribed clomid (clomiphene).

No: Clomid (clomiphene) will not make the periods late. It is used to induce ovulation which will result in conception or a period.

Unlikely: You didn't mention if you were on Clomid (clomiphene) due to DX of pcos? If so, then episodes of amenorrhea is definition of pcos and likely this is hormonal. I'm assuming you've spoken w/ dr who put you on the clomid, (clomiphene) right? They would want to know that you aren't cycling since you're ttc, right? Your dr who knows your history should be planning your next steps, making a plan, etc. Make an appt if unsure.
