Hello Aisha.
I understand your concern regarding the potential harmful effects of both the drugs I.e. progynova (estradiol valerate) and siphene (clomiphene) citrate, and you are right to some extent.
Both these drugs are contraindicated during pregnancy and fall into category X.
Since you have just removed your copper T last month, and if there is no other contraindication, I would suggest you wait for some more time for your cycles to normalise and for you to ovulate naturally. It may take another 4-6 months but it will be worth the wait. Trying to conceive using hormones for ovulation should be reserved for in extreme cases where normal conception is not possible. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dr Geeta
