Did your Dr. Prescribe the clomid for you?? B/c I was on it for 2 months and had serious side effects. I have a history of ovarian cycsts but my Dr. Wasnt very tenative and didnt do ultrasounds like he was supposed to during the clomid treatment. I had severe!!!!! Severe!!!! Cramps for 2 days at a time while on this stuff that was like ovarian cycsts x 1000.... I had to quit taking it bc of the side effects (vision changes, cramps, etc.) if your Dr. Hasnt prescribed you the clomid I wouldnt take it bc you have to be examined a few times throughout your cycle while on it and if you have other problems causing the infertility the clomid wont do a bit of good....Either way...Good luck to you....

Well.....I have been seen by the doctor about once every month for a while, then he decided he would see me again in 3 month which is in august. He had me on birth controll to try and shrink it but mostly all it was doing is holding it at one size. I decided to stop taking the pill because I want to get pregnant and my cycles were 3 times a month instead of once a month. :cry: . Soooooo, I bought this clomid on line through an on-line pharmacy. I know its risky and it kind of scares me but im at that point now where its now or never, ya know. I'm 30 years old :? I dont have good insurance so I cant go to a fertility clinic.

Sorry been a while since I posted....Anyways back to the clomid... Most women are fine while on it...But it can cause hyperstimulation of the ovaries where your ovaries swell up 2x the normal size and can cause problems... And they dont reccommend that youre on it longer than a certain prd of time... And (lol sorry I hate the stuff....) i've read of a lot of women that get that stuff prescribed to them by a Dr. That doesnt know any better...Thne a year or whatever later they find out that they had a blocked tube so the clomid wouldnt have done any good anyways!!! I would seriously consult the Dr. Before taking the stuff. Also did you know that you have to take it at certain times during the cycle, etc??

The doctor said because I have cysts on my ovarys that, that might be the reason I havent gotten pregnant. He wanted me to wait until this month to see if the cysts have shrunk any. But......Every time I go in there he says, well...Lets wait a couple months and see if there are any changes. Then the next time I go in he says the same thing. This has been going on for 2 years and I just cant play anymore games. He said he could refer me to another doctor that deals with this kind of thing(reproductive) but ive heard bad things about him and he doesnt specialize in that kind of thing. You know what I mean? I dont know. :?
But as far as the clomid goes, I looked up the "how to take your medicine" online and it game very good directions on how to take it. So I have that accomplished. Im just waiting now for my cycle to start. I cant believe it, I waiting for my cycle now and before this I always dredded having it come. Isnt it funny how life works.

I have been suffering from ovarian cysts for 2 years now and i am truly sick of it! Everytime I go have an exam it seems like I have cysts. The cysts are painful and have caused bleeding. I have been on two different kinds of birth control, which I am now questioning whether it could be causing my cysts. I have more doctors appointments coming up for the cysts, but at this point I just want my normal life back. I am now scared that my doctors are missing something, especially since this has been an ongoing problem. I am really confused by my body and the doctors, which is making it very hard to function in my daily life.

I used clomid and I had no ill effects. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for over a year. My doctor discovered that I had PCOS and said it would be nearly impossible to conceive without assistance. I went from 50 mg to 100 mg to 150 mg. After the 2nd cycle of 150 mg I am pregnant!!! Praise God!!! I've read many success stories but I guess you'll have to try it for yourself to see how it will effect you! Good Luck!

I have been trying for a baby for almost 2 years and was told i have a cyst on my ovaries.My GYN said she wants me to have another ultrasound to see if it's gone,otherwise she won't put me on clomid.I already have 1 child so i know i'm not infertile as my husband and i have done all the relevant tests but i'm 37 this year and feel like i'm getting too old! I've not had no pain from having a cyst but does anyone know if it stops you getting pregnant?
