Question 1

how does clomiphene work to help get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

2 ways: In women who do not already ovulate, Clomiphene helps them to ovulate. It tricks the body into making more of its own FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in order to try to grow an egg. In women who already ovulate, it can help you make more than 1 egg at a time.

Question 2

is it necessary to take clomid (clomiphene) the 2nd time since i didn't get pregnant the 1st time i took it?

Accepted Answer

Clomid (clomiphene): Keep in mind that pregnancy may not happen on the first attempt with clomid, (clomiphene) as some cycles may not be fertile cycles. Therefore, it may be necessary to sometimes go through several Clomid (clomiphene) cycles before moving on to something  else. Do bring up your concerns to your doctor.

Question 3

since i've been on shots for 8 years and i just got off i decided to take 100mg clomid (clomiphene) to get pregnant how do you recommend me to take it?

Accepted Answer

Bad idea: It's a prescription drug in the us for good reasons. If you don't now how/when to start and monitor it you can get into complications much more important than side effects.

Question 4

took clomid (clomiphene) last 4mon. no luck w pregnancy. did not take it this month, i'm discouraged! is there a good chance to get pregnant wo it this month?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Hi, everything is possible, don't be discouraged.

Question 5

we are currently trying to get pregnant with the assistance of clomid (clomiphene). i take it on days 3-7. what day should i expect to ovulate?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Most patients ovulate between days 12-16.  Clomid (clomiphene) rarely changes that.  What Clomid (clomiphene) does it increases the hormones that promote ovulation (fsh).  You should be either monitored by a doctor for ideal ovulation time, or at the least do ovulation predictor kits at home.  If neither are available then have intercourse days 12, 14, 16.

Question 6

would it hurt my ovaries to take 100mg clomid (clomiphene) w/ my estrogen level @ 213? also will that level hurt my chance 2 get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Hard to know what to make of that estrogen level. If it is 213 pg/ml then that number usually reflects a midcycle estrogen level with a follicle that is close to ovulating. An ultrasound would reveal what is going on in terms of the ovary so i would discuss that with your doc. Clomid (clomiphene) is usually started when the estrogen level is about 20-80 pg/ml. That is the level typically found in pcos.

Question 7

what happens if i take clomid (clomiphene) and i don't get pregnant and how long do i have to be on it before i switch to a different pill to concieve?

Accepted Answer

Depends on problem: Need more info , Clomid (clomiphene) is given for ovulation, if it is given for poly cystic ovarian syndrome , associated problems , like  obesity , diabetes , hypertension  etc need to be solved , speak to your doctor , may have  to consult fertility expert help to conceive good luck.

Question 8

my follicular study says 11x8m on 11th day and said my egg size is not good and suggested to take clomid (clomiphene) can i become pregnant ?

Accepted Answer

Specific plans: Clomid (clomiphene) is used to trigger ovulation in those that do not ovulate own their own. It sounds like you are already seeing a doctor who has much more information and can provide a specific fertility treatment plan for you.

Question 9

i have pcos do i need to take clomid (clomiphene) to get pregnant or i should first try without taking any medication ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That really depends on your periods. If you have less than 4-5 periods per year, i would take clomid (clomiphene). Most likely you are never ovulating and if so figuring out when is too hard. If you have 5-10 periods per year, a fertility specialist can help you figure out if and when you are ovulating and then you can decide how to proceed. If you have >10 periods per year timing sex to ovulation is likely ok.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Variable: No definite time. Patience and peserverance. Good luck
