Accidentally took Clomid while pregnant?!?

Question

We are TTC our 2nd child. Last cycle, we were not yet using Clomid. The days leading up to my expected period, I took a few pregnancy tests, which were all negative. 14 days after ovulation, I got my period... which lasted a record 14 days. I then started 100mg of Clomid on cycle days 4-9. Today, on cycle day 15, I got up to take an ovulation test, only to discover that I had used the wrong test (I buy them in bulk, and the packages are nearly identical), and actually took a pregnancy test instead... which turned up POSITIVE! So, and hour later, I took another pregnancy test and an ovulation test... both came up postivie! Now, I'm trying to figure out (1) could I really be pregnant? I had my period for 14 days! (2) If I am pregnant, what's the danger of the Clomid that I took? (3) How the heck is this all even possble?!

Answer 1

my friends mom had her period for 3 months while she was pregnant with my friend.  she didnt even know she was pregnant until she was 3 months and missed her period and went to the doctor.  its weird..it doesnt often happen, but its not impossible.  I would go to the doctor first thing monday for a blood test and explain about the clomid.  hopefully everything will be ok.

Answer 2

If you tested positive - you are most likely pregnant!  Congratulations . . .

Clomid is considered a Category X drug - which means dangerous in the first trimester of pregnancy.  Here is a link with more info:

I would not worry until consulting your doctor - 5 dosages might not be so bad.

The body is a mysterious thing - maybe you ovulated early (so the Clomid would not be an issue) and you are testing early . . . but lucky enough to get a positive result.

See your doctor and explain all of this to him or her.

Best wishes!

Answer 3

try getting a blood test from the doctor to be sure! and Clomid shouldn't have a big impact, but you can ask a doctor online for free for an opinion about this, try www.FertilityTies.com

good luck!!

Answer 4

You could call your pharmacist and ask if it is harmful to have taken the clomid if you were pregnant and didn't know it.  Your pharmacist would know if it would or not.  Then on Monday I would call your doctors office and tell them what happened and they probably will have you come in for a pregnancy test to make sure.  Some women have a period a couple of times after they are pregnant.  Most likely it will be ok.
