Is clomid good and how does it work?

Question

Hello ladies i am wanting to know your opinions. My partner and I have been trying for 3 months. I know that it doesn't happen right away that it does take time. My last cycle was july 22 and i have 32 days in my cycle. We inseminated on the 7-8th of aug and ovulated on the 9th. This is the week that i am suppose to find out if i did conceive or not. But i have a feeling that i didn't conceive but my partner thinks that this was the cycle and it worked. What i am wondering is about clomid, i am healthy. I work out and try to eat the right foods. I did have a procedure done in march due to i had to have some bad cells removed and my cervix was inflamed but i had that all take care of. The doctor told me that i was in good condition. I am 24 and is clomid a good thing for me. My cycle is regular and i do know pretty much when its that time for me to ovulate. I did read that clomid does make you more fertile i believe. Do you have to go see a doctor to get clomid or can you just purchase it? also how does it work? If anyone can please help that would be great.

Answer 1

Clomid is mainly used to treat ovulation issues but it has also been used for unexplained infertility to create a stronger ovulation or to produce multiple eggs increasing your chances for success.

After 3 months of trying and with a normal cycle in which you ovulate, Clomid would not be recommended for you at this time.  It is usually not prescribed unless you have a fertility issue or have been trying for a year.

You do not want to try to purchase it without a prescription as Clomid is a serious fertility medication with dangerous possible side effects if you are not being monitored and on the right dosage.  Clomid has minor common side effects like hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain and head aches but some women have a bad reaction to it called OHSS - ovarian hyper stimulation which could leave you infertile.

Clomid is prescription drug only. Talk to your doctor about using it. They may recommend timing ovulation with blood work and IUI instead.
