Clomid

edited November 2011 in Trying to conceive
Are you able to just tell your doc you want Clomid or do they have to do tests first?

    Well right now my cycles are acting up the last few have been 70 plus days. I have been charting temps since Sep 25th and it dosent look like I ovulate. Which may explain why I keep having to take provera to make my periods start the last I think 3 cycles.My husband had a semen analysis done on tuesday this week. We are just waiting on the results. We have been ttc it will be 3 years in January. I am 21 he is 24.

    I called my doc they think they will let me take clomid. They are just going to wait on the results from the semen analysis and I have to fax them my bbt charts. Then doc will decide for sure.

    @2beforgotten clomid tells ur brain that ur not making estrogen so it floods ur system with estrogen to make u ovulate. Not sure if it would work for low progesterone..but it doesn't hurt to try. I had low estrogen and my Dr didn't think clomid would work for me bc my body was barely making any in the first place but it worked after 3 rounds. But I did have low progesterone during my first trimester and I had to take progesterone suppositories twice a day...don't know if that is an option or not.
  • Ohh I see, I tried for five yrs & finally I just had my babygirl this sept :) do u use ovulation kit?? I tracked my ovulation days with the kit & I took 4 cycles of clomid n metformin n it worked for us. But before ovulation day u n ur hubby should hold off on sex for four to five days then have sex on the fertile days it gives u a greater chance.... Good luck. I had my hubby do a semen analysis too. Lol it wasnt him...

    I have used ovulation kits it told me the first time which was like 6 months ago but now I never get a smiley face saying I am ovulating. Thank you so much for your input.
  • I also used clomid and got preggo the first month I had to take provera, metformin 1500mg, and prenatals also but it worked I don't ovulate either unless I use the clomid I have pcos badly I only have maybe 2 periods a year have they checked u for pcos?
  • Who r u seeing? I know a way good clinic that is helping my sister get preggo they helped me and one of my good friends too. :)
  • @momof22be

    They have not checked me for pcos. I am seeing Dr. Jarret at south valley womens health.
  • Well they should have done all those tests on u in the first place u should go to rocky mountain womens health its in layton in the offices connected to the Davis hospital but I personally wouldn't let them see me my whole pregnancy they r just good for helping conceive I would go to Dr.Boheen or Dr. Hurst Boheen is a lady and she delivered both my kids burst is an old man but he is so nice and personable I love Dr. Boheen shes awesome!!!! They both are!!!!
  • We ttc for over a year, finally I went to a fertility Dr been seeing him for a year now. My pediods have never ever been regular! I started taking metformin & other meds, I have been on megestrol , provera, prometrium, and these all have me no results' About 3mo. ago they put me on provera again & my period started as planned, then on day 3 I started clomid (I've taken several rounds in the past yr but this time was different. ) This time when I had my blood drawn the test came back that I had ovulated!!!! I am currently not pregnant but this will be round 4 in a row, I start clomid Saturday. According to my Dr this is the first time I have ever ovulated! Even though I always thought I was & had symptoms I wasn't really :-( but now I am. Just remember every single persons body works differently so hopefully you've got a great Dr & just be patient & all will work out. We've been ttc for over 2 yrs & my body is finally stating to work correctly! Good luck hun & focus being healthy. Trust me I know its hard but if you stress about getting prego then your body will do the opposite , it works weird that way, just stay positive!
  • I would suggest a fertility monitor if you never get a smiley face.. The difference is its a small computer that tracks your levels by day so even the slightest raise in your levels triggers the moniter to tell you what your level is at. I use it and everytime I used clomid I ovulated not always sooner but I did.... Also I used progesterone the bad thing with that is it can make your period late so you might think you are pregnant but you aren't. Hope I helped
  • clomid tricks your body into thinking that you are not producing estrogen so your body compensates by producing more and that stimulates ovulation ;) a day after I finish my clomid the fertility moniter goes to level 2 and level 3 is ovulation
  • Thank you so much ladies for your advice and comments. I truley do apreciate you all. Sorry for not responding for a few days I had the flu. I am starting provera today and then I am just waiting to hear back from my doc on if I can do clomid.
  • So as of today I have an appointment with my doc on monday. We will be talking about fertility pills. My husbands semen analysis came back normal.
  • Good luck let me know how it goes
  • @momof22be

    My doc wrote my perscription for clomid. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I am still finishing my provera 2 more days left.
  • Yay! I hope it works Hun do u usually finish all of your provera before u get af?
  • @momof22be

    Yep finish it all and then wait usually 3days and af comes.
  • Yay!!!! Good luck Hun please keep me updated
