Get on the priority list and get Obie first!Clomid is very powerful and induces ovulation in over 50% of all women who take it. Good luck!For IUI #4 we tried Clomid + IUI and it worked, but it was a very short-lived PG. Clomid works well for many women but it does come with side effects like headaches, mood swings, hot flashes, weight gain, etc. We got our BFP after 1 round of Letrozole/Femara, shot of Ovidrel and IUI. I did respond to Letrozole/Femara, which we tried 3 times with IUI - BFN each time. The presence of these hormones catalyzes the maturation of the egg follicles, increasing the chances of ovulation. I tried Clomid twice (50 and 100) and I didn't respond to either dose. Also after seeing a doc for infertility how long after did you get pregnant without using Clomid/Metformin? Increasing Clomid when you are already ovulating on a lower dose is not only unnecessary, but it could, in fact, decrease your chances of getting pregnant.While there is generally no total number of cycles of Clomid that should be done before moving on to other fertility treatments, there are several variables involved in the decision about moving on to more aggressive therapy. Good luck! Clomid is very powerful and induces ovulation in over 50% of all women who take it. DD#3 3/10/2012
In addition to his current work, Dr. Amos is using his vast experience to launch Obie, a science-based app that offers personalized fertility advice. Clomid is a synthetic chemical that induces ovulation by fooling your body into believing that there is less estrogen. I did find that clomid made me feel horrible so I stuck with Femera instead. I did one round of Clomid and got BFN.
Some women try it for 2 or 3 or more months/cycles. I will say the Letrozole/Femara was a lot more expensive, but since it worked for me, obviously I think it was worth it. If you take Clomid and your menstrual period has not come when you expected, then do a pregnancy test. If you did not ovulate, it did not work. i didn't ovulate at all the previous 2 times, and i didn't get a positive opk this time either. I had irregular cycles and was put on clomid (50 mg). And these depend on whether you ovulated on Clomid and at which dose. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) will help you get pregnant.So how do you know that Clomid has worked? I hope you respond better than i did but please make sure that you are monitored throughout your cycle while taking it! etc..If so How long did it take for either of the two drugs to get you pregnant while using it?

It really thinned my lining and we were going to use Femara on the next cycle but ended up getting pregnant without anything other than Metformin.
GL to you!! This leads to increased production of a hormone called GnRH, causing the pituitary to pump out more of another hormone called FSH and LH, thus inducing ovulation.Your chances of getting pregnant with Clomid are very good as long as you take it for the right reasons and have some tests done beforehand to exclude certain problems. Clomid alone did not work for me, we tried three cycles with it. i did my 3rd round of clomid this month. That is because Clomid leads to multiple ovulations, and non-identical twins are twins resulting from separate eggs and fertilization with different sperm, while identical (or monozygotic twins) result from the splitting of a single fertilized identical egg and sperm.You ovulate and did NOT get pregnant: Your menstrual period will arrive about 14 days after the day of ovulation.You ovulate and did get pregnant. No. Clomid & IUI November 2010
If you do ovulate on Clomid, then there is no need to increase it in the next cycle.
