I too am a bit shocked, I know one person who was on clomid and again she fell within four months after 2 years off ttc.

Did they have scientific evidence to proove this so called claim, you should all contact them and maybe they could do a informed documentation about women who are ttc and have bee for years!

Just thought i'd butt in and say that i happened to have my doc's apmt just after that came out. Now, i have a really nice doc who's very clued up so the bbc sensationalist and lazy journalism aside..this is what my doc said to me, how he read the findings. That in couples with unexplained fertility i.e someone who doesnt have ov issues (like me..so got very upset when heard the news as was gonna ask for clomid as getting older..but oh well) it seems to have been over prescribed as they fell pregnant as often as those who took clomid.

However, statistics have proven that for women with ov issues up to 40% fell pg on clomid within 3 months. However, the bbc didnt mention that and instead made light of a huge problem without reporting the actual facts. B******s!

It really insenced me as this only gives ammo to those people who already are insensitive and uninformed like this scumbag who wrote in to bbc saying that the 'nhs is wasting money on expensive treatments such as sex changes, breast enlargments and ivf treatments'. Excuse me??? WTF!

What we need is a stronger lobby for more funding for fertility treatment on the nhs as this problem isnt going away but growing by the day. And public bodies such as the bbc should do a better job covering this. I fear its many more couples etc than are actually reported that have fertility problems, its just that since its not exactly something you share over the water cooler at work it goes unnoticed by the greater public and thus the state!

There- rant over!

so irresponsible, thats what these journalist do. Recently there was a report sying that something was bad etc and when you looked deeper into it the journalist had not really mentioned and exposed the whole story. I mean thats how they make money to by sensationalising things.
