Can Clomid or ovulation stimulators affect a fetus or unborn
Posted: 08-03-07 15:46pm

My doctor is considering putting me on the lowest dose of Clomid to see what happens. I am concerned because I have heard that Clomid is a category X! In its lowest dose, is there cause for concern of deformity? And if so what is the percentage of affected babies? I know that you take it during your period, but how long after that is it in your system to affect a growing embrio? This has been on our mind for a long time and through the last year are confused and looking for answers. Can you help?

Clomid is an ovulation stimulator that is given to women who are not ovulating. It is given in the first half of the menstrual cycle (from 5th to 10th day), once a day, and can’t harm an embryo if conception occurs.
