Private prescription for clomid

Does anyone have any idea where I may be able to get a private prescription for clomid? I’m absolutely desperate to conceive now after more than two years. The nhs fertility clinic in Edinburgh weren't great, just told me to lose weight and come back. I’m trying absolutely everything to shed weight but it’s not going anywhere, protein for breakfast, fruit and veg for lunch and try to skip dinner to save on calories. I’m really tempted to buy the clomid online (any recommendations if anyone’s bought it?!) but I know that’s not recommended. I’m just so, so, so desperate. Thank you.

Do you not ovulate? Clomid won't really help if you already do and can cause all sorts of short and long term side effects - so should only really be taken to induce ovulation if you don't already.

Losing weight on its own can cause anovulatory women to begin to ovulate (more) regularly.

Look up low gi/ Keto diets. You may have more luck with this in losing weight.

Surely any private fertility clinic can prescribe clomid, if necessary.

No I don’t. I’ve got a PCOS diagnosis.

I’ve tried keto, it triggered migraines every day and I can’t miss that much work again unfortunately.

Yeah don't do that.

Low sugar and carb (fruit isn't good for losing weight with pcos). Something like the south beach, maybe?

But the hfea website will have information on fertility clinics and their stats.

I’ll look into South beach, I’ve never heard of it. Thanks
