Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Having a persistent dark brown discharge is suggestive of a hormonal disturbance. Before starting on clomid, it is necessary to have a normal regular cycle so that ovulation can be induced.
Since you have irregular periods, you need to have oral contraceptives for 2-3 cycles to regularize your periods and then after a complete hormonal assessment should start with clomid.
Serial ultrasound scans are also needed to detect the timing of ovulation so that intercourse timing is appropriate for conception.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

But u have been for 6 month on contraceptive still my periods are not regular
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If your periods are not regular even after taking oral pills for 6 months then you need a regular progesterone support in second half of cycle with mild estrogen support in the first half to stop the bleeding you are having. You need to consult your gynecologist for proper hormonal thgerapy so that the periods can be regularized.
Hope my answer is helpful.
