What is clomid??

[han17]

Hey ladies,
I am 27 and my husband is almost 29 and we have been trying for a year without success. He has had a test which came back normal and I had hormonal tests which came back better than average. We are now beginning to start to test when I am actually ovulating this month, however I've read on here the success stories of clomid... What is this?? Can I ask for this from my docs?

Xxx

Hi, clomid is a drug used to induce ovulation. It helps if you are not ovulating and is also prescribed for people for are but are unexplained.
I had 3 months from my GP for long cycles (35-75 days apart) but not all GP's will prescribe it. I then went to fertility specialist and after all the testing and had a laparoscopy to check for endometriosis, I was prescribed clomid again at a higher dose 100mg instead of 50mg for 6 months. It has regulated my cycles to 30-32 days but not yet pregnancy, im on my last cycle now, hope that helps!
