Hi. My fertility specialist was very clear that clomid does not induce menopause. It stimulates ovulation, improves egg quality and helps eggs to mature fully. It does not cause you to produce more antral follicles each month, so you are not 'getting through' your eggs any faster than you would be normally. Just FYI, I have an AMH of 1.9 on the UK scale, and actually overstimulated on my first month on clomid, maturing 4 out of 5 antrals!! It was a big surprise to all concerned and my Dr actually told me not to BD as the risk of triplets/quads was too high! I imagine your Doc is suggesting that you go straight to IVF due to the combination of factors you have - but it's good news that he thinks IVF itself is worth a shot. We were going to go to IVF but my response to clomid was so positive he now thinks we should stick with that for a few months. Best of luck.
