I have found drs in general dont like to be pushed on medication, so if you were keen for it maybe broach the subject one more, asking him again to confirm why he is ruling it out. You could perhaps ask if there would be a case for trying a few cycles will you wait for IVF.

I cant say for certain if the clomid caused my left side to ovulate and I guess I never will.

I was due to be sterilised on the left side in preparation for IVF in Jan, and we were told that was our best bet.

In a nutshell I would try one last discussion and trust what he says. XXX

trouble is now i think thats us finished he knows its private ivf and by the time i get a follow up appt it will be another 10 weeks down the line so this month it is healthy diet(from monday anyway!) and accupuncture to go all out for a BFP naturally then if not IVF kicks off in the new year xx

What about speaking to your gp?

Thanks ladies. My OB gave me 50mg of Clomid to take on days 5-9 this cycle. Then an U/S on the 3rd.

Yeah might try that although he is a bit clueless on all matters of fertility-mind you he is going to speak to the other partners in practice bout getting my ivf drugs on prescription so fx on that one-he said yes straight away himself until I told him the price lol!!

hey glitterqueen, i hav pains around ov, quite bad at times dr even thought it was my appendics an sent me to hsptl... Where dr sed i cud hav ad a cyst that burst...has u/s to c if i had cysts (i didnt) i ov on my own, but we havin male fertiility problems + i stil got perscribed clomid to hope that the sperm may reach a 2nd egg...? I think my dr wants is to try a few routes b4 ivf, to see if it happens for us. It does hav a 40% sucess rate (although i personally feel thats with ppl who dont ov ir hav irregular cycles, or mayb with pergesterone) but hey, im willing to try!! I hav been bloated all month frm taking it, i hav had mood swings an i am tierd 24/7 altho im hoping this month i hav less syptoms... Good luck girls x x

Just a little update and ?s

I took my 3rd. pill lastnight and can't say that I havce any S/E? The only thing I have noticed is my ovaries are both pinchy, mild AF aching, hungry / thirsty more often. Also my cervix is high since taking Clomid. Is this normal? It's normally low/medium at this point for me.

I hope this is a good sign since I don't have any of the S/E mentioned. No hot flashes, headaches etc.?
