Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid)

Hello all

We've been trying for a baby for 2 1/2 years but no joy whatsoever. Hubby and I are both about to turn 30 - he's been checked out and is fine, it seems that the glitch is with me.

Finally seeing Fertility Consultant at the hospital and he's asked me to do one more ovulation test (all have shown I'm not ovulating, but he wants me to do one more at a different time in my cycle) and then said he will prescribe me Clomiphene Citrate.

He's given me info about side effects etc and explained that in 5% of cases it can cause twin pregnancy.

I just wanted to know your experiences of being on it and did it help you etc.

Thanks.

    Never been on it but my old next door neighbour was on Clomid and had tried to get pregnant for about 8 years... anyways.. now she has 3 boys!

    She had stopped taking it too after a while!

    It's meant to be really good.

    I did 2 cycles of Clomid, after 12 months of TTC. The problem was that I didn't seem to ovulate, my cycles were anything between 60-90 days. The second go resulted in the 6 month old baby sleeping upstairs right now, so yes it worked for me!
