I was monitored when my obgyn perscribed clomid. He brought me in after the first cycle to see if I has ovarian hyper stimulation or if I developed any cysts before I can continue to the second cycle.

It really is nothing to mess around with. It was one of the most painful experiences that I have ever been through.
I even have a bottle of Clomid in my medicine chest that my regular gyno had prescribed for me (before I started going to the fertility specialist) that I have been very tempted to take on my own, but I just don't want to risk it.

Good luck!

Mynxie,

I totally understand the temptation and the desire to see your

quickly, but if it messes something up, it'll take longer to fix it. Hormones and reproductive organs are very sensitive. Please try to resist taking it on your own. Consult your OB/gyn.

I completely agree with Chefamy. I was prescribed Clomid and am scared out of my mind to take it. Less so now than before but still...

Anyway, best of luck to you, hopefully you'll get your

soon.

I wouldnt recomend buying it with out presription! As you Consultant/GP would know your medical history and your only ment to use it for @ 6months.
I was given it and it worked on round one, so now i have a packet in my bedside draw lol. I'd say i'd give it to some one, but i wouldnt as i think it would be too dangerous!

I am on Clomid it is my second month and a failure. I have a blood test on day 22 and a scan day 11 every month.
I was advised not to try this month as I have been stimulated so well I had 3 follicules on one side. I didn't really understand why I couldn't try until a friend explained why the NHS don't like you to try due to the of risk multiple births. I am really upset as we all know the side effects of this drug.
I have been reduced to 25milligrammes now so without supervision I wouldn't risk taking it.

A friend of mine got her

last week after 3 years ttc and her 4th round of clomid. I jokingly asked her to send me any that she had left, and was kinda upset when she said she hadn't got any because she was waiting for a prescription when she got her

. I'm 100% sure that I wouldn't have used it, but it was bery tempting.......

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH my GOD

I thought i was the only one this desperate, last night i had them in the shopping basket on a website

BUT all i could think of was , "what if it was horse worming tablets they sent out"

I am scared at how desperate i am, the only reason the NHS will NOT prescribe it is because i am a big girl
