Clomid?

by diggy, Mar 09, 2004 12:00AM
I am just curious if anyone else has been perscribed Clomid with Lunear phase defect?  
Background on me: 30 years old; 3 miscarriages at 6 weeks within the past 2 years...
Currently I am on Crisone 8% (the progestrone gel) and prometrium (pill progestrone- 100mg)- no luck thus far getting preggo.
My doctor is wanting to put me on Clomid next cycle.  Will this help?  Anyone had any luck with my same situation? And is anyone concerned about the studies out there that Clomid MAY cause Ovarian Cancer later in life.  
Thoughts????

I have read that it can cause ovarian problems which is why most doctors will not keep you on it that long.  You should also closely be monitored when using clomid.  I just started my first round.

Hi I was on Clomid to help me ovulate. I will tell you it worked quickly. I got pregnant right away and had a normal pregnancy. Good luck!!!!!!

Thanks for that postive news!!!!  I always love to hear a success story.  I am on Clomid and will be having and IUI in about a week.  Can't stand the wait and I'm not even in the 2ww yet!

Oops-- not "lunear" - luteal.  Thanks for your comments.  I think I am going to start Clomid next cycle, that is if I am not preggo.

Hi!  I have been gone for a while but now I am back on the clomid train!  We decided (last month) to wait until summer but about 3 weeks went by and I just said the hell with it let's go ahead.  I just didn't want to be pregnant all summer but right now having another baby is WAY  more important.

I am 26 and my son is 1 this month.  We have been ttc for 7 months.  Today is day 11 in my cycle and I took 150mg of clomid days 3-7.  I borrowed a friends fertility monitor and it has showed me at Peak fertility for the last 2 days???  But I think it is just srewed up from her using it.  The monitor stores your information so it is basically comparing my sample to hers and showing me at Peak?  I think the clomid has just escalated my hormone levels?  I am frustrated because I haven't ovulated on clomid (50mg) even though I did get positive OPK?  So I want to be excited that my OPK and monitor showed my surge yesterday... but that doesn't mean that I'll ovulate.  I can only use clomid for 2 more cycles and then it is off to a fertilty specialist...  ugh.  So I guess I'll be crossing my fingers!!!!!!!!  I am going to test OPK in an hour so we'll see.  Hubby and I have been BD so If i do ovulate, hopefully I'll catch it :)  I'll feel better too if the ovulation kits show a drop.  I am gonna be pissed if they show PEAK for the whole month!!  then I'll KNOW it's just the clomid screwing it up!!!  Momttc
