Clomid
by Wantingon#2, Mar 11, 2007 12:00AM
Hey,
I just bought some clomid.
I have been TTC for 7months.
I know I am not Ovulating. I use monitor,Chart,OPKs & Slivia scope.
I either get peaks days apart or none at all. Its like my body gets ready and then dont release eggs.
Does anyone else use clomid?
What should I be worried about while using it?

I hope you are being managed by an obgyn or a reproductive endocrinologist while taking clomid. Although not common, there are potential side effects such as ovarian cysts. Equally important, a thorough knowledge of the reproductive system, and the menstrual cycle, is a pre-requisite to managing a clomid cycle. Are your periods regular? If they are, you are probably ovulating even though your monitoring is not indicating this consistently. Clomid has some antifertility effects also (thin uterine lining, thick more hostile cervical mucous) so it should only be taken if required - i.e. truly not ovulating.
I am pre diabetic so I think that is what's affecting my ovulation, but am not sure. Anyone know anything on this topic???? Good luck to all!
