clomid

Mynxie · Jul 4th, 2008, 10:27 AM

I was wondering (and no I'm not thinking of doing this...) but has anyone took clomid without a prescription?

I know that you can buy it and stuff, but I know it's been mentioned a few times on here

I thought about it, but I got it prescribed before I had to. I'm not sure about there, but it's pretty easy to talk a Gyno into prescribing it. I would recommend that you see one first, only because it may be useless if there is an underlying condition that is causing another problem - such as blocked tubes.

OMG- I can't believe you can buy Clomid! That sounds a bit dangerous but I suppose its a last resort for some people. I'm just going to go and look it up....

Funny cos was thinking about this very subject today. My GP just doesn't believe that my having a luteal stage of 9-10 days is a problem but I know it's on the borderline and having Clomid could lengthen it. So what if I'm still TTCing next year and he still won't do anything about it? Might I have to resort to ordering Clomid off the net? x

I only know of one person who has bought it but not actually tried it.
its mainly given as a prescription because of the risks of OHSS (Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome)

trixie, have you thought of trying progesterone to try and lengthen your lp?

Iknow the borough that I live in only give six rounds of the stuff and after that your own your own. I would be careful cos yes it can cause over stimulation.

As tempting as it sounds when one is longing for a baby, I think its very important to talk to a DR before taking drugs that are usually prescribed.....

I agree with all you ladies.

I mean, I've been checked for PCOS (more than once!) and I have at least 1 tube working properly etc etc, but I still wouldn't, because of the risks and I'd not be monitored, but I know that some people do - without even being checked for PCOS - which is dangerous, because it can cause cysts and make existing cysts bigger.

I know of at least 3 people who have bought it, but caught just before they used it - hehe maybe that's the trick to getting pregnant

intending on using clomid - ok, bad joke I know, but bet it made you roll your eyes? hehe

A few months back, I would have said go for it.... BUT after getting the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome from the Follistim, I would NOT suggest taking any kinds of fertility drugs without getting your bloodwork carefully monitored and the internal ultrasounds. 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!

I think, because it's available on the internet, without a prescription, and pretty easy to get, that people who are desperate for a BFP can be very easily tempted. You know?
