First step of fertility treatment?

Question

I recently got referred to a reproductive medicine specialist and will be going to my first appointment next week. I want to know what the first step(s) will most likely be. I've heard a lot about Clomid...but I read that you're supposed to take it on certain days of your cycle and I wouldn't know what days are what of my cycle because I've only had 3 periods in the last year. Anyone have any information about any meds or even any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

clomid is to be taken on days 5-9 of your cycle. day 1 being the day you start your period. if you dont have a period then you aren't ovulating.

Answer 2

First step will be to sit down and speak to your RE. Than he/she will preform a sonogram & take your blood along with your husbands. I wouldn't worry to much about clomid. There are many different drugs out there your RE can use. Your RE will decide what you'll need. I wish you luck. I'm at the point where we have a surrogate and my RE is trying to see if I have ovaries that will produce eggs.
