| does clomid work? I am only 23 and have been with my fiance for 8 years, i haven't used any contreception for 4 years now, I have been diagnosed with endometriosis but have clear tubes and have been told that there is no reason why we cannot concieve. I am due to start clomid on wednesday and really hope it works as we are desperate for a baby. it seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant and they don't even have to try hard. will clomid be the answer to our problems?????  | | | | Status: Offline

| I'm starting Clomid in about two weeks, first round. We've been trying for more than two years, but nothing seems to be causing our lack of pregnancy except for my insane cycles. I hope the Clomid works for you if you decide to try it! And I know what you mean about everyone around you getting pregnant...it's happening here, too! | | | | Status: Offline

| It depends what you mean by work. Its purpose is to make you ovulate so if this is what you mean, then its likely that it will if you dont ovulate at the moment. If it doesnt the dosage will probably be increased.
A lot of people mean by "working" they mean "get pregnant", but its purpose is to make you ovulate.
I was pregnant within 2 cycles, however I ovulated on my own anyway......X | | | | Status: Offline

| I'm now starting to read up on clomid, and I wanted to know how I go about getting it. I dont have insurance, so would I have to go to a OB/Gyn, and the my regular doctor can write up a script for me. I dont know how it all works. I cant get into the doc. for over two weeks, cause so many people are sick. But I want to know more about it. Is there any other drugs like Clomid? | | | | Status: Offline
