clomid?! What? When? How?
:?I????ve read several of the comments in here and lots refer to Clomid. How long do you have to be trying before recieveing this? What is it exactly? How is it given? How does it work? Anyone had good success with it?
I????m still waiting for my af since my withdrawl- but as I haven????t had a af does this mean I????m not ovulating? How do I know if I am? Read something about Uterus being high/low?
Anyone have any advice- I????d be really grateful.

There seems to be lots of reasons why people are given Clomid, for most it is because they have gone a number of months witrhout ovulating.
I am on my 2nd round of 50mg of clomid as i have PCOS and didn't have a natural AF for 14 months. Clomid is basically a fertility drug that helps boost the hormone levels in order to ovulate. I had scans and blood tests 1st cycle which showed i ovulated, but BFN and AF arrived day 31. I am now on day 26 of 2nd cycle.
You take clomid on days 2 - 6 of your cycle. If 50mg doesn't work, then they normally double dose. Dr normally perscribes it for about 6 months, as they don't like to leave you on it for too long.
I didn't have too many side effects, few hot flushes, but some people do get quite bad headaches. There are quite a lot of pople who have got their BFP's on clomid and a very good friend is pregnant at the moment and caught on her 6th cycle of clomid. The success rates seem to be very good.
Hope this helps? Let me know if you need to know anything else. Good Luck!!
