What is the scoop on clomid

[kathy45]

I have been diagnosed with Ovarian Poli....... It has been suggested to use clomid. Can anyone tell me more about this????????

Do you mean polycystic ovarian syndrome?

If so, generally that means you are not ovulating or not ovulating regularly/predictably. By taking clomid near the beginning of your cycle (differen doctors use different cycle days) it is hoped that will stimulate your ovaries to ovulate that cycle. It doesn't work for every woman or every cycle & a lot of women find they need to try different doses before they get the right one or combine the clomid with other therapies (other meds, diet, exercise, etc.)

Hope that helps a little.

keep your eye on side effects. most people don't have anything weird (mood swings and such that go away after you stop taking it) but I had vision changes and had to stop using the drug altogether.

Do you know of any other ways?

I am so happy for you. Did you use clomid?
