How does clomid work and does it???

Question

hey everyone iv'e been thinking about asking my doc about this fertility drug clomid. does anyone one know how well it works and what are the chances of getting pregnant ????

Answer 1

I was on it for four months.  I was ovulating on my own, but didn't have high enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy.  Clomid helps you ovulate AND gives you a higher progesterone level in the luteal phase.  The first 3 months, I ovulated 5 to 6 days later than normal, which in turn caused my cycles to be longer.  During the 4th month, I didn't ovulate.  My doc said some women become "immune" to it.  I switched to Femara and got pregnant during cycle number 1.

I like Femara better, because it doesn't dry out your cervical mucus as much; Clomid drys up your cervical mucus, which makes it harder for the sperm to swim up to the egg.

I know someone with PCOS, however, who got pregnant 1st cycle of Clomid with twins.

So...for some it works, some it doesn't.  If it doesn't work for you after a while, ask your doc about Femara.

Good luck--baby dust!

Answer 2

It is to help your egg follicles to mature and possibly ovulate.  I didn't have any luck with it after 6 cycles and getting to the highest dose given.  I did have 1 mature follicle finally but it never dropped.  The more mature follicles you can get the better the chances is what I was told
