I start Clomid next week (if I start my period right after ending Provera), and today my fiance received an email talking about a class action lawsuit for mothers who took Clomid and had babies with birth defects. The link led to an attorney matching website which listed birth defects such as being born without a brain, heart defects, spinal defects, etc. My fiance is understandably freaked out.
I called my doctor, and talked to her nurse, who had never heard anything about this, then went to a pharmacist who also never heard anything about this. Then I started searching online and found a few sites (kind of disreputable) that did have more information. Supposedly, the study was done by researchers from the CDC, and was published in the online journal "Human Reproduction" in November 2010. I haven't found the actual journal article yet, but I did find this: /https://https://www.newsinferno.com/health-concerns/clomid-birth-defect-link-investigated/
And this:https://www.oshmanlaw.com/pharmaceutical_litigation/clomid.html
So now I'm a little antsy, although I kind of think it might mostly be the lawyers trying to make money off of unfortunate parents. I've heard so many good things about Clomid, and frankly, since I have PCOS, it's going to be difficult to conceive otherwise. Has anyone else heard anything about this or have concrete information?
