Why is my doctor giving me so much medication

I have been trying to get pregnat for 8 months the first 6 months my doctor put me on clomid and then I started bleeding for a month went to see him and he put me on prevera that didn't work I still bled for another month so I call him and he doubled my dosage well for three days I got so sick and started bleeding heavier. Called him again today and he takes me off prevera and puts me on prempro. I dont understand why he is putting me on all this hormone medication. I am afraid it will afect me getting pregnat or worse. Has anyone been through this and will it harm me.

6 months is a long time to be on clomid. i did it for 3 months, along w/ Metformin, and the side effects were rough. i read up on it a lot, though, and never heard of it causing abnormal bleeding. has your doc done any tests? i just found out i have uterine fibroids and i'm reading about that a lot now. fibroids can cause a lot of bleeding, even anemia. luckily that hasn't been a problem for me, b/c mine aren't large. has your doc done an ultrasound to see if you have any fibroids or polyps that would cause this bleeding? i would definetely be wary of taking so much medication, especially if he hasn't done tests to determine why you even need them. i really wish you luck and hope you get this sorted out. take care!

That's normal.. TTC each month you need to take at least 5 different types of medicine..

Clomid or Femara, Estradiol, follistim (injection) or repronex, Novarel, premotrium... etc...

All medicines have side effects.. only thing you can do is take a risk... those medicine help you to boost up your hormone and easy to get pregnant... could harm you on other things.. you should discuss with your doctor the pros and cons about the medicines he puts you in... discuss with him throughly and understand what help or not help you..

good luck
