I have seen online that you can buy clomid online but does it really work is it the same exact stuff your doctor will give you? Also would like to know is it mandatory to have monthly check-ups while taking clomid. I know they have to check to see if the clomid helped out with your ovulation, but what if you did not ovulate while on it? what happens then do they have to do something to you like clean you out or something

I know a lot of people buy this online w/o a perscription.

Having experienced infertility treatments myself I can tell you how unsafe that is. You need to be monitored with any fertility drug. The risk is hyperstimultion of the ovaries. This means your ovaries produce many eggs to the point they break down. Your ovary can literally twist or just get cysts. Both of which are EXTREMELY painful - i had cysts the size of oranges on both my ovaries. I couldn't move!!

And, if the twisting happens - extremely rare but is documented - you could possible be infertile for the rest of your life.

Ask your doctor. They are quick to prescribe it if you have been trying for a year and are under 30 and 6 months if over 30. The last thing you want is to loose an ovary...

BTW, Clomid is a covered fertilty drug!! AS well as progesterone. So, it won't be cheaper online. You can get the real stuff for $10 copay at your pharmacy - I did :))

Side note: Typically taken with Metformin and Progesterone. Metformin helps you ovulate if you are having trouble ovualting. Progesterone is to keep you pregnant if you get pregnant. All meds are taken at different times througout your cycle. So, you need a doc to tell you when.

You need to be monitored by your Dr when taking clomid so that you don't overstimulate your ovaries. They need to test to see if you ovulated every month. If you don't ovulate on teh 50mg does then they up it...do not take it unless you are under the care of a DR.

Just wanted to add to the first post--Clomid is NOT always covered by insurance. It is considered a fertility drug and very few states have laws that say infertility must be covered.
