Clomid (2nd time round!)

[Ldougal92]

Hi All

I’m thinking ahead but can’t find any answers online. I have just had my first baby after being refered to a fertility specialist and becoming pregnant from being prescribed clomid.

I am thinking about baby 2 and was wondering if there was a time limit like there is for IVF and having to wait for a year becoming being helped? The waiting times were quite long beforehand which would mean if I wanted to start trying for baby number 2 I’d need to start the process earlier but wondered if the GP wouldn’t refer me?

Would the NHS even help with prescribing clomid (I took 3 cycles) if I already have a child.

if anyone’s been through this I’d be grateful for any info x

2nd time round I still had to try for 12 months before I got a referral.

Although they've since brought that down to 6 months if over 35.

I was 36 starting tttc, 37 on clinic snd 38 when pregnant.

They wont prescribe if menopausal.

You could go private if you want to speed up.

Thank you! This is super helpful x
