I also had a similar question about Clomid and Endo. I have it (actually I had it - just getting off a cycle of 6 months Lupron to get rid of it) and am going to ttc again soon. My doctor put me on Femara instead of Clomid. A friend of mine happened to say to me today that she also heard the the CLomid might be what causes Endo... Any truth to this?
I dont know much about clomid, Im learning as I go. But I heard today that clomid is bad for ppl who have endrometrieosis. Is there any truth to that cuz i have endro. and my doctor didnt say anything about it. O.o
Dear Ralsasha-
Regarding the vitex, there is absolutely no scientific or medical evidence that it is useful or helpful in assisting women to get pregnant. Since we do not know if there are any potential adverse effects, I would recommend discontinuing the vitex.
Regarding the clomid, if you are not getting pregnant because your periods are irregular or absent, then clomid is definitely the correct choice.
On the other hand, if you are having regular periods but still are not getting pregnant, then clomid by itself is unlikely to help you. If you are having regular periods and still are not pregnant, you should have some hormone testing, an XRay of your fallopian tubes called a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), and your partner should have a sperm count. If your periods are regular, you should not be prescribed clomid empirically until these tests have been carried out. If they all turn out to be normal, then you should consider adding intrauterine insemination to clomid as the combination of the two is much more effective than clomid by itself if the cause of your infertility turns out to be unexplained.
Good luck.
