Hi

Not sure if this has been done before but am due to start clomid next month and could do with some happy stories. Please let me know why you were prescribed it and how long it took to get pregnant.

Many thanks

I had PCOS - 6 months of clomid and didn;t get pregnant, sorry but this will bump for you as the mojority have.

Hi Natty,

I was prescribed 3 months of 50mg Clomid, starting in Feb this year. I don't have PCOS but apparently I do not ovulate very often at all (previously 18 months ttc with one m/c in Nov '05)

I got pg in the first month and am now 25 weeks pg. Know there are quite a few others on Mumsnet who have similar stories...

Good Luck!

Hi Natty - I haven't had personal exp of Clomid but Jools Oliver conceived her 1st daughter after being prescribed Clomid - she talks about it in her book -9 to 1, might be worth a read x

Thanks podglet - wishing you a health and happy pregnancy.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you suejonez did you go onto anything else andare you still trying?

Thanks for the advice SM on the book, have you read it? is it good?

Keep them coming ladies

hi i have been prescribed clomid, but am waiting to take it so far af is 8 days late but have been ttc of over 2 years so not holding my breath

I had over 6 months of Clomid for 1st dughter and again for twins. I don't ovulate vey often so in all it took 3 years for 1st daughter and 3 years for twins both times trying for a year and then Clomid for 6 months at a time with a few months break in between. It still took 2 years of on/off clomid for me to concieve.
But since then I had dd4 without clomid and it took 3 years and this one is due in December and dd4 will be 3.5yrs so I guess my body just has babies every 3-4 years

Yep twice.
Both times, worked first month
by then, I was sure that I could only become pregnant using clomid. ....I fell again without clomid when dd was 3.5 months old !

be careful - and good luck

Not me but a good friend got pg with her DS on her 2nd go at clomid. She started ttc again when her DS was 1(without clomid) and got pg straight away with twins!!!

Good luck for your treatment - hope you get your BFP soon.

Hi Natty1806 - I moved onto injectibles for a couple of months after clomid then had three IVF cycles all failed, I then decided to stop with the fertility treatment and consider adoption. I'm hoping to be adopting in Sept/Oct this year, which will be 2.5 years since my last IVF.

I'm told clomid works in about 85% of cases.
