Has anyone used clomid or any other synthetic hormones/ drugs to aid in getting pregnant? What are the risks if any, Were there any side effects/ was it successful etc...
We have been trying for a year now, have had a few hiccoughs along the way, but have got to the point that I want to look at other options. Have been doing chinese herbs and accu. but starting to get frustrated thinking that I may need more. I have a pretty normal length cycle, but my BBT chart is all over the place - my accu/ TCM practitioner suggests my progesterone levels are not high enough.
Would of course prefer to go natural with TCM, but if there are no known risks / side effects then why not try synthetic hormone assitance.
I got pregnant very easily with our 1st child, which adds to the frustration
Any advise / experience would be great

Yes, I became pregnant on Clomid in the first month, unfortunately the pregnancy was not successful. From my research, before I agreed to take it for three months, is the side effects are dependant on the level your doctor prescribes. I was on the 50mg which I believe is the lowest, and I had no side effects whatsoever. A good tip is to take Robutussin every day which is to improve the quality of mucus as Clomid apparently has a 'drying' effect. If you google 'Clomid & Robutussin' you will find more details. Best of luck.

Poseidon,
Can't help you on that as I was going to start on the clomid that next month, but voila...
Feeling very average, and much worse than last time, however said to myself in the many months of ttc that I would never complain and be grateful for when it happened....gawwwwd!
All the best

I hadn't taken it, but intended to next cycle, however that said my OB wanted me to wait til the end of the year as 'mechanically' everything is OK. I just had a extensive LEEP which meant we had to put off baby plans for 6 mths - so my reasoning for the clomid was to give things a hurry along....
but as it turns out I am now 7.5 weeks...

wow, congrats to you popsicle,
Any sign to look out before 7.5 weeks ?
or you had it known by blood test (E2) & scan ?
regards,
