Clomid, is it worth a try?

Question

have been trying for 6 months with no joy

I'm thinking of buying some, you can buy it over the net

Answer 1

You usually have to try for 3 years without success to be considered for any sort of help, and clomid might not help you - it depends on the reasons for your difficulty succeeding. Have you visited your GP for blood test and sperm checks?

I wouldn't buy it - if you have a valid reason for needing it, then you will get it on prescription. There can be many, many reasons why you are not falling pregnant, so clomid might not even help. Buying medication online is never a good idea. Go to your doctor and get checked out - try and stay positive, I know it can be heart breaking when trying to conceive, your doctor will understand this and will be able to help and advise you.

Answer 2

hi. My husband and i tried for a baby for 10 years. We were put on Clomid first and although it didn't help us, it is definitley worth a try. We went on to have 5 IVF attempts all of which failed to produce a pregnancy. We finally gave up and were looking into adoption when we found out that we had concieved NATURALLY! Our little girl is one on sunday and altough the medical profession were unable to help us we were willing to try anything...give it a go and i send you all my best wishes for a very happy ending...i know how hard the waiting is but do try xx good luck to you both xx Don't self prescribe tho as lack of ovulation may not be the cause of the problem, seek professional help and if they suggest it then give it a go x

Answer 3

Clomid is for women who don't ovulate. It induces ovulation. If you already have normal cycles and ovulate then it will probably do more harm than good. It makes sense to think that taking clomid if you already ovulate will help make more eggs, and it will, but it will also dry up your cervical mucus and make it difficult to impossible for the sperm to swim up. It will also increase your risk of multiple fetuses which in itself is dangerous. It also has some nasty side effects like headache, bloating, hot flashes, mood swings, and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome which will land you in the hospital. Be sure you really NEED it before trying it.

Answer 4

hi, yes well worth a go,it worked for us,Danny is now 4,but be warned you might not need it for the 2nd child Jac came along 13 months later without clomid after i had assured my wife that there was no way she would getr pregnant again,woops,never trust a man, no regrets though, good luck :)

Answer 5

youve been tryinh 6 months on clomid or before clomid? Clomid helped me get pregnant with my youngest....but your body will build a tolerance for it and the longer you are on clomid without getting pregnant the less likily you will become pregnant on it.

Answer 6

Buying drugs such as this over the internet is dangerous and really silly. 6 months is not very long to be trying for and there could be many reasons why you are not conceiving that should be investigated first.

Answer 7

6 months is too soon for fertility medication. My doc won't intervene for a year and they won't give you meds until you have thorough testing to make sure both are able to conceive. Try to concerive when you are ovulating and don't overdo it. Too much causes a reduction in sperm. If you don't know when you ovulate, try a kit. I'd give it at least another year. Then go see a doc.

Answer 8

No... It needs to be prescribed and you need to be monitored due to cysts.

Ask your dr. about Letrozole (femara) instead. It doesn't thin the lining of your uterus like clomid.

Answer 9

From what I hear of yes it is! Good luck

Answer 10

possible....you never know when...i gave up and instantly fell pregnant...try to keep stress levels down....and good luck...x
