Hi all
we recently had some fertility tests done through the gp. the main issue is me. I have high prolactin, low progesterone and follicles on my right ovary so pcos is suspected. We've been referred to a fertility specialist and gp says they'll probably prescribe clomid.
My question is this really. How would clomid help? I'm ovulating on my own so the big issue seems to be low progesterone. I don't really get how clomid would help with that. I'm also concerned about the side effects and risk of multiples. I've heard multiples are always high risk. I already have one little boy (conceived naturally after 11 months) and I don't want to end up with a high risk pregnancy and birth that would affect my ability to care for him.
I'd be interested in other people's experiences of clomid, or experience with other forms of treatment for low progesterone
