Clomid is probably the most well-known fertility drug, because it is the most commonly used. It can be used quite successfully in infertility practice. However, patients should recognize that continuing to take it month after month may be adversely affecting their chances for success. Following are some facts you should be aware of:
- 75% of couples who will conceive on Clomid do so in the first 3 cycles
- Don't go on Clomid more than 3-4 cycles in a row without a break.
- Don't take Clomid more than 6 cycles unless something has significantly changed to improve your ability to conceive.
- In certain cases, Clomid can interfere with your uterine lining, preventing implantation of an embryo.
Let us assist you to improve your success! There are a number of reasons why your Clomid cycles may not have worked, including:
- Husband with severe male factor infertility
- Endometriosis
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Not ovulating on Clomid
