The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.
Interesting article

Hmmmmmmmmmm very interesting. However, none of the doctors around here are allowed to prescribe Clomid they give all their funding to the FS and you can only get the drug from the hospital pharmacy. They then monitor you and do follicle tracking scans. They mention telling couples to hold off but when you have wanted something so badly for such a long time how can you really hold off when there is still a slim chance you will catch 2 eggs being released. However you could still only catch one of those eggs. If you hold off for that month you wont even get the one chance. I think this has been written by someone who does not deal with the emotion and stress and unhappiness couples go through and have been through often for years before they even try clomid x

I do think fertility help should be reserved for people that have 1) actually TTC'd with the right timing for 12 months or more, and 2) both partners have undergone testing to make sure they're good candidates. Sometimes I think doctors prescribe too liberally or ttc'ers become too impatient & demand help. Nature should be given a chance. As I write this, I realize the length of that natural chance is subjective.
I thought about the risk of multiples before taking clomid. Any more than two would concern me, and I realize there's a small risk of that. This might sound naive, but I would be over the moon with twins. I'm 36 now, so instant siblings would be fantastic, assuming all healthy & happy. I didn't have a scan, but if they told me there were 2-3 eggs, I would not abstain.
I know 3 women who've used clomid & 2 of them had twins. I'm sure I know others, but they haven't admitted the help. I'm curious how many instances others know of twins. Is it really 10% or a little higher?
The article does make you think. There are always consequences to taking any drug. Sometimes we overlook that just to satisfy our emotional needs.
