ttc and clomid

Hi im TTC for a year now and still no luck...my cycles are really messed up since before,sometimes no mestruation for  3 consecutive months and sometimes i did bleeding twice a month...We really wanted to have a baby...thats why we do all the researched on what to do to get concieve (conceive)...my husband told me about clomid and he said that its very safe to take even without prescriptions..Im scared before because i heard that theres alot of side effects on it..but i still took the clomid....we will have our doctors appointment on 1/24/08...Should i tell to my doctor that i took the clomid?Is any suggestion that you can give or help?

Clomid is a perscription...how did you get it with out your doctor knowing?

You can buy clomid online i have done so in the past you can type in buy fertility drug clomid loads places sell it..

i will say to you ttc118 STOP  taking it,i was on it before and had some left i also went down road bought some from the internet,they are completely different,i was very ill on them,secondly you cant just take a drug like this without being monitored by your doc,you need regular scan and tests extra as clomid is used to stimulate your ovaries to produce eggs,but it produces more,so there is always chance of hyper stimulation,please dont take anymore until you speak with your doctor..

When you have your doctors appoinment make sure you tell him you have been taking this drug,,,he will do hi own fertility assesment and put you on drugs only if you need them..clomid isnt sucessful to all,it didnt work for me..

Yeah my one friend was on it and it dint work for her either.  And tarajane is really good with all sorts of help and knowledge that I would take her suggestions seriously.  Good luck to you.

Stop taking Clomid without being monitored.  Clomid can result in cycts and when untreated, ovarian cancer!!!!

I think you need a fertility monitor to monitor your cycle and find out when you ovulate.  Clear Plan fertility monitor is one.

I would suggest getting you and your husband tested thoroughly so that you can understand why you havent been able to conceive for more than a year.
