Has Clomid worked for anyone in perimenopause ?

[erilou38]

I'm 38 and strongly suspect i am in perimenopause, my doctor thinks this may be the case also, although my consultant at infertility clinic doesn't agree. My last day 3 FSH was 11.3 and i did actually ovulate that cycle as a day 28 progesterone test confirmed it. Over a year ago i had an FSH come back at a huge 20 which my doctor said at the time was borderline meno. Anyway the clinic has prescribed me clomid to start with my December cycle(that's if i actually get a period, as they are irregular. Having lots of meno symptoms which seem to be getting worse the past few weeks so wondering if Clomid is going to be a waste of time. Has anyone had elevated FSH caused by perimeno and gone on to conceive with the use of Clomid ?

I conceived on Clomid ! So keeping my fingers crossed for you !! Best of luck ! :-)

Can i ask how old you were when you conceived and were you in perimenopause ? x

I was in peri menopause according to my consultant - I was 22 ! And I did go on to have a second child unaided when I was 33 ?!?

Wow perimeno at just 22, you poor thing!! So pleased for you that you got to have your 2 children. Just hope the Clomid can sort me out, although being 38 it's not looking good.

Keep a positive mind if you can !! And try to just have fun not think about 'must make babies' IYSWIM !! The more relaxed you, are the better the chances !! So just enjoy up it !! Lol !! Sorry if TMI !!! Lol !! Go girl !!!! :-)

I was on Clovis when I conceived dd at 41. I had a miscarriage at 40 and it sent my hormones haywire and I wasn't ovulating properly despite having periods.

I'm having periods but they are irregular, i definately ovulated last cycle as a day 28 progesterone confirmed it. i'm now on day 14 of my current cycle and my digital clearblue OPKs is giving me a'peak fertility result'. Also i done a cheap, supermarket brand OPK and it too was positive. Don't feel as if i'm ovulating though as i have no EWCM, just my boobs have got a bit bigger maybe but that's it.

i'm 43 and like you have lots of perimenopause symptoms. i had fsh of 20 and amh was negligible. i started clomid last november (2012) and got a bfp on first cycle....sadly mc at 10 weeks. I have taken clomid on and off through the year (dh in army and away a lot so i only take it if i know he is going to be around). I have recently moved and my new consultant is happy for me to start clomd again....currently on cd10. Like you my dh has no dc's and I have 3 older children.
