I got off the pill and took ovulation pee strip tests and for 3 months it says I am not ovulating, so I want to get on clomid, has this happened to you before?

The ovulation kits dont work for everyone and are you sure you were even taking them at the correct time? Don't use these test as an absolute sign that you are not ovulating.
It takes time for the hormones of the pill to work its way out of your system.
Start charting your fertility by taking your basal body temperature, and cervical mucus. This will be more accurate than the ovulation tests. This will help you get more familiar with your cycle and fertile times. It will also help you find out when the best time is to take the ovulation tests. Dont waste your money on them until you know exactly when you should take them.
Give it some time and you will start seeing signs of ovulation.
Clomid should be an absolute last resort. It has nasty side effects, can result in multiples, etc. If you can do it naturally, that is the way to go. I dont think any doctor would prescribe Clomid that soon anyway.
Good luck!

If you've only been off the pill for 3 months, and haven't conceived yet, you have a LONG way to go before you hit fertility medications. Most doctors won't even see you for infertility until you've been actively trying for 12 months. Give it some time.
They recommend that you wait for 3 months after stopping the pill before trying anyway, to allow your body time to metabolize the residuals from the pill and get back to normal.
