Will Clomid Be Suitable? Posted: 07-23-07 06:32am
i just spoke to a friend of mine on the
phone who has been ttc for a couple of
years now. she has endemetriosis (sp?)
polycystic ovaries and is diabetic. she
told me that the doctor is going to give
her a course of clomid to try and help her
concieve.
i don't know much about clomid but do you
think this is suitable for her? what will
it help do?
thanks

The clomid is supposed to help you
ovulate. I am not sure what it would help
with with the endometriosis. I think with
PCOS that you are not ovulating properly
and that is probably where the clomid
would come into play.

I have PCOS and was given clomid to take.
I had to have it cd 2-9. It releases
hormones to make the body ovulate. Which
probably isnt happening to your friend
regulary if she has PCOS.
I was given metformin too but they arent
always prescribed together. I got pregnant
the first month on these pills so they do
work!!

My doctor said that women with pcos
typically respond best to clomid than to
other ovulation inducers. Clomid along
with metformin should help tremendously
but that doesn't mean she'll get pregnant
on the first round.

I have PCOS and got pregnant while taking
only Metformin... but it took 6 months.
The one thing to worry about if she does
have PCOS and has cystic ovaries* the
clomid may increase her chances of making
them worse and still not releasing an
egg.
*not all women who have pcos have cystic
ovaries and not all women who have cystic
ovaries have pcos.

I didnt mean give the impression that they
would work first time or at all. I know
women who havent had any sucess on both
meds. Just meant they worked for me so
there is hope!

Yes, I think it is. I have PCOS too..
diabities is related to PCOS. I can't eat
sugar or anything.. Just to try not to get
diabities. Yes, CLOMID is great! My doctor
wants me to try that when I am ready to
try again. However, just so that she can
get prepaed. Most woman with PCOS
misscarry alot easier and its more likely.
Another medication my doctor was going to
put me on is Metamorphin (spelling) Which
is a great medication! It's actually for
fertility, diabities and they ar now using
it for PCOS. Which is also a good choice
Check it out!

I have PCOS and my Dr. gave me Clomid and
glocophage, and I got pregnant on the 3rd
round of 50mg. I also know people who
have PCOS and the clomid didn't work for
them, all she can do is try it and see
what happens...we are starting to try for
our second and I'll be taking the Clomid
again, so hopefully it works for me this
time also!!
