Nobody's being rude, I'm a fat bloke myself, but certain health authorities are more strict on weight prior to prescribing many drugs - they can be seriously affected by weight & health.

Answer 3

She's probably just a little chunky.  You're a sweet friend!

Answer 6

OMG, for real? Ha!  Thats a crock!  I was WELL OVER 188 pounds and I've taken clomid a few times... with success!!  I hate to have to say that I was well over 188 lbs but its true..  I now have 4.5 yr old twins thanks to 100 mgs of clomid!!

(My last baby boy was Gods will.. no clomid needed)

As for you people judging.. 188 is not freakin overweight.. omg, what do you want-- all toothpicks?  Unreal!

Answer 7

These people really need to get over themselves, she does not sound overweight probably a size 12-14 at most! Forget what they're saying I think she should do just fine on clomid. I'm sending tons of babydust her way! Good luck!

Answer 8

Apparently most of you people are not here to answer the question you are here to be judgemental and rude.  The sad thing is that you must not have a good image of yourself so you have to pick on others to make yourself feel good.  So sad.  Sorry I can not answer the question but I felt a strong response to the rudeness that was displayed and if these people saw a picture I guarntee they would not be able to guess that that was her weight.  I hope you have a great day.
