should i take clomid?

Question

I had an ectopic pregnancy resulting in the loss of one tube. i don't know which ovary i am ovulating from. but i am not getting pregnant.

Answer 1

I know exactly what you're going through. I didn't have an ectopic pregnancy but I do have damage to my left tube so if I do get pregnant from the left ovary I will have an ectopic pregnancy. Unfortunately BBT or CM charting can't help us determine which side we are ovulating on. Occassionally I get a twinge on my right side to let me know that I'm ovulating but it doesn't happen all the time and by the time I feel the twinge it's almost too late. It's like playing a game of russian roulette every month. As for Clomid, please do not even consider it unless your doctor has recommended it. You don't want to get it off the internet. It's not the type of drug that you want to mess around with. You need to be monitored while you're on it. I took Clomid for 3 months (100mg each) but did not ovulate on it. It doesn't work for everyone however it does work a lot. I take Metformin now to regulate my cycles and promote ovulation. I don't know if it's worked yet. I am on the 2 week wait. It's a nerve racking wait because I don't if or which side I ovulated from. Whatever you do don't give up hope, I know I'm not. God will let us know when it's time. I have to believe that in order to keep going. Hope this helped a little. Good luck ttc and baby dust to us both

Answer 2

have you discuss clomid with your doc
anyone can take clomid but the person need to know the risk
if you are ovulating that mean you may not need clomid
but also if you take clomid you might end up having other problem many people take clomid and did not get preg
so talk to your doc and see what he/she recomended
Good luck
