any advice on clomid?

does anyone know why an ultrasound has to be done before being perscribed clomid. and also is the ultrasound totally nessasary before i can get the clomid. the reason i ask is cuz i want to start straight away but my doc wants me to have an ultrsasound but with living in ireland it takes forever to get an appointment and i dont really want to wait.

Like katyb said, I think the u/s is to make sure you don't have any cysts and probably to check the uterine lining because it thins the lining.  

I responded well to Clomid in terms of follicle development.  Regardless, I did 5 IUIs, got pg & m/c'd, then 4 IUIs, got pregnant and delivered a happy, healthy baby boy who's now almost 2 years old, then did 3 IUIs, got pg, then m/c'd then did 3 more IUIs then stopped responding to the Clomid (my lining started to thin and I was only getting 1 follicle).  We did 1 natural cycle on Femara and I got pg and am almost 12 weeks pg.  I don't know many who get pg on the first cycle, but it's certainly not impossible.  Best of luck.

ah right. well i had an ultrasound about a month and a half ago which checked for all that and everything was fine. do you think that ultrasound would be enough or do you reckon they would want to do another one. i hope you get the answer your looking for. best of luck, keep in touch and let me know how you get on. thanks so much for replying. x

Hi sweetcheeks, I too had to have an u/s before starting clomid. It is to make sure that you have no cysts and i think they also ck for scarring and if they are the right size n shape. I had to have a hsg xray too before hand to see if my tubes were blocked. I have just had my first cycle of clomid, was taking it days 2-6 a am now day 16 and in the deaded two week wait. Keep in touch. best wishes x
