Infertility Question?

Question

I have a question for those who is taking Clomid.Since January 2006 I had been diganosed with PCOS.My Gynecologist put me on 850 mg of Metformin and 50 mg of Clomid(Clomiphene Citrate) and been taking the medication faithfully for the last 5 months.I had tested each single month for a positive pregnancy which resulted in negative pregnancy each single time .Missed a period in May 2006 was forced to go back on Provera to start my menstrual cycle and up my dosage of clomid from 50 mg to 100 mg..(2 50 mg tablets)..
Has any woman been successful with a pregnancy while taking Clomid? I feel this medication is not working.I had talked to my doctor about this and suggested I wait until September before he refers me to a fertility specialist.
What are your views on this?

Took ovulation test last Sunday to predict if I was ovulating however the indicators tells me i wasn't.I am usualy good with my cycles and last weekend was the time for me to ovulate.I called my doctor and explained the situation. he believes there could be something else that is going on.

Answer 1

Do not give up hope!!!

I too diagnosed in 1997... and after 9 years of trying we finally conceived using clomid. 500mg "2 50mg pills a day for 5 days!"

Had a healthy baby girl in 2002.
And Praise the Lord we had our 2nd baby girl 2005. She just turned one!!! And she was a surprise!!!! NO fertility meds used!!!

So it took a while & it's hard to wait but it was worth it all!!!!

Good Luck & God Bless!!!

50 mg is a really low dose . CLomid and metaformin is usally given together if you have pcos . I have been all the way up to 200 with multiple eggs produced / np pregnancy as yet :9 sadly enough . I have read in many of the forums that although it creates multiple mature eggs it can create a hostile cervical/mucus enviroment ...their are many great forum . you can do a search on yahoo ....good luck By the way their are many different fertility drugs . Clomid is one of the cheapest so is usually the first choice of medication

Get your IVF-invitro fertilisation treatment in India .IVF treatment and Laparoscopic surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges all types of medical treatment andsurgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as some of the surgery including ivf treatment is not covered by insurance.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your IVF treatment can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The doctors are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.I recently also read about a chinese couple facilitated by forerunners healthcare were able to get their baby by IVF and a surrogate mother.

my cousin and her husband got their IVF treatment in India through the forerunners healthcare in India and is all praise for this company.She is a known case of PCOS.She is a very happy mother of a baby boy now. She just paid 2500 pounds for the full treatment for which she was quoted 8000 pounds in private setup in UK.I strongly recommend this company to you as they can be of great help to you.hope this helps
