interesting...fing this.

what is the success rate for Clomid?

If you're taking Clomid, you're probably eager to know what kind of success rate Clomid has. Will Clomid work for you?
Answer:

The good news is that the success rate for Clomid, in women with ovulatory problems, is pretty good. About 80% of women taking Clomid will ovulate during their first treatment cycle, and the chance of conceiving in that first month is 30%. If 30% sounds low, keep in mind that a couple with no problems getting pregnant has about a 25% chance of getting pregnant in any given month.

Of course, this assumes that all else is well with the couple. If there are additional problems besides irregular or absent ovulation or there are any male factor infertility issues that have not been addressed, success will be lower. It's questionable how successful Clomid therapy is for couples diagnosed with unexplained infertility.

Also, Clomid does not always work well in women who are dealing with age-related infertility, with low estrogen levels, or women with premature ovarian failure. It may also not work in women whose ovulation problems are caused by a thyroid issue. Women who are obese may have better success with Clomid if they lose weight.

About 40 to 45% of couples get pregnant within six months of treatment. Women are rarely treated with Clomid for more than six consecutive cycles.

If six months have passed and you're still not pregnant, your doctor will help you look in to alternative treatment options. There are a variety of fertility drugs and fertility treatments available. If Clomid doesn't work for you, don't fret. Something else may work better.


it's giving me hope !!!

Ooo fab so for me and u who already ov. It's 40-45% chance in since month? XXX

Haha oh my body is such a feck up then, isn't it, if this is the odds.

ive read that 70% of women taking clomid fall pregnant within the 1st 3 months....on my 3rd month now, i really want to be part of the majority if not then will deal with it in 24 days...

like you say miel there are other options after clomid

thanks x

hopefully we all make it in 6 month time girls!!!

I'm with Curley Sue on this one - My body must really not want me to get pregnant - On 2 ww of 6th and final round of Clomid and not even a sniff of a BFP

Ditto

As miel said, there are other options too, I guess what works for some doesn't work for others?

I didn't even ovulate on it. Aren't you just sick of being in a minority? I am one of a mere ten percent or less of women who are not pregnant after this long of trying. How is that fair?

My body does not want anything to do with what my mind wants. if Clomid is so successful then clearly the world is against the likes of you and me.

Grrr.

Hmmm...I am not sure what this means for me. I don't take Clomid for ovulatory issues. But rather, unexplained. Also, I got pregnant on cycle 1, but miscarried. Now I am on cycle 6 (I think)...and nothing. That does sound hopeful though...and I hope we some BFP's from the Clomid Club. :-)
