Fertility Treatment

I did one cycle of Clomid and got pregnant. My sisters each had to do 4 cycles (family history of fertility problems). We just followed in the instructions. It gets a little mechinical, but it worked for us.
Just don't overthink things and relax. I think that was the key for me. They told me it would take 3-4 cycles, so I just assumed it wouldn't work the first time around and didn't stress to much.
Good luck....I know that it isn't easy.

My sister used Clomid with her last 2 pregnancies (she has 4 kids). She's had great success both times and it wasn't a terrible process. Good luck!

I took Clomid for 3 cycles, with no luck. I had an ink test done on my falopian tubes and found out that one of them was blocked. The ink test cleared out my good tube, and 3 weeks later, I was pregnant. Don't lose hope. I had given up trying after a year and a half, and then, bam! I was prego! I agree with the "try no to stress" thing. I know it's hard, and sounds impossible, but it can be done. Just try to make this a fun experience, and don't overwhelm your hubby. We ran into lots of trouble in our relationship b/c of all the stress that I was putting on us. Just try to relax and let your body do it's thing. Good luck!

Got preg with triplets my first month on Clomid!!!

M. I am also on Clomid, in fact I start my 4th round today. I'm also a member of a on-line group ____@____.com It is a wonderful support system. They are Women that are on Clomid and have been on Clomid with great success stories! You should go on-line and check it out. It really helped me. If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me. Good Luck! S.

M., I took Clomid for 4 cycles and am now 8 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I would say to give it a try. I almost lost hope after 3 cycles of - pregnancy tests, but I decided to try it again and much to my suprise I was pregnant!! Good luck to you hun!

I did one round of Clomid, charted BBT and used a fertility moniter (Clearblue easy digital monitor) and I know have a beautiful 9 month old daughter. I tried the Clomid after a year and half of not conceiving, exteremly irregular periods and a history of PCOS. Good luck and I hope you have the same luck I did.

I was 35 when i got prego. Once my cycle was normal I took clomid 3 times, did hcg shot twice and on the 3rd time i also did an IUI and got prego. I have heard different stories that some DRs say you should only take clomid 5-6 times while I have had friends take it as many as 9. The only time i felt i had a side effect was when i first took clomid, I felt light headed but that was it. I now have a beautiful 8 mo. son. My advise though would be to still go about your daily plans and vacations, don't cancel things assuming you might be prego because it could take a few months and then you have missed out on fun with friends.I stayed positive by knowing that God had a plan for me and even though I did not know when or IF i would get prego, i kept trying.

I took Clomid for 3 cycles. Got pg on the 3rd cycle, miscarried, and then got pg on my own the next month.

In order to cut down on the side effects, its best to take it at night before you go to bed. You should also do the ovulation tests so you know exactly when to have sex. Most people have sex on the wrong days which cuts down on your chances.

BTW, I also have a friend who took Clomid and now has 2.5 year twin boys. They call that Clomid Twins. :)

GOOD LUCK!!!

I just found out yesterday that my dr wants to put me on it because my hormone levels are low causing me not to ovulate (no wonder we've been trying for what seems like forever with no luck). I'm really more of a "natural" let God handle it type of person, so I don't know that it's for me. However, I've heard great stories. My dr won't do more than 3 months of it and then involves a specialist. I think that a lot of people use it nowadays to get pregnant.
