Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.

It would have been nice if you had provided me some more information like your age, BMI, duration of marriage, regularity of menstrual cycles and whether baseline fertility hormone assay is done.
Clomid induces ovulation. When used for 3-6 months, clomid induces ovulation in 60-80% of women and about 30-40% of women who take clomid become pregnant . Most pregnancies occur in the first 3 months of use. Usually clomid is prescribed for 6 months.
You should have done these baseline tests i.e. HSG and semen analysis before starting Clomid. Do not take clomid until you get these tests done.

To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking ( if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three to four times in a week.
Take a tablet of folic acid daily.
If you have any further concerns do contact me through Healthcare Magic.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
