Pregnancy Info HOME

Kristin-
I am taking clomid along with Metformin. I have been going to a fertility specialist and have never heard of problems with Clomid. I was TTC for 3 months when I got pregnant but I had a m/c a month ago at week 8. I have had my period and am starting again this cycle. I was told that 1 in 4 women have a miscarriage in the 1st trimester. These are just the odds and not much you can do about them. However, most women go on to have very healthy babies. Hope this helps.

Thanks Rainey. I'm so sorry about your loss. I think I just get so overwhelmed with all of the information out there and I should just trust my doctor who is great. That statistic is just amazing-these are things you never hear about until it happens to you. I wish you lots of luck and a healthy baby very soon!

Hey Kristin! I too had a m/c on 8/25. I took clomid in May and June, got prego in July. I also took Clomid last Sept. - January. You are only supposed to be on it for 5 months at a time. B/c if it is going to work it should in those 5 months. I helps me ovulate better for sure. I was taking 150mg. BUT when I went for my checkup after the m/c he chose not to put me back on it. Said I would be most fertile in the 2 months after m/c. I asked if clomid thins your lining and he said yes. To me that was not a good sign. Sort of made me think it may have been a factor. Soooo. I will just wait and see what happens. I am on day 26, not sure if I have ovulated and no af in sight. Such a guessing game. I thought I had cm last week but it sort of never materialized (I think) I see a fertility spec. as well. We can only hope that the m/c was for the best b/c something was terribly wrong. I hope that you are doing well.

Hi Carole. I'm so sorry for your loss! It really is all so confusing. I only was on clomid for one cycle when I got pregnant. My doctor told me that she didn't feel the miscarriage was a result of clomid as my progesterone levels were so high. I too have heard that clomid can thin the uterine lining. My doctor wanted me to wait two cycles before putting me back on clomid. I am on around day 23 or so and am hoping I am about to ovulate as I had stretchy cm today (sorry :) and have ovulatory pain. It really is frustrating when your body just won't cooperate. We are going ahead and ttc this month as I am praying I could avoid going back on clomid. I have heard such success stories but some things make me worry. I don't want to have to only ttc every three months (that's how long my cycles were but I did ovulate each time) so we'll see. Are you taking your temperatures to see if you have ovulated? That helps me so I know if I have or haven't so I can keep trying until they go up. I wish you all the best and lots of luck!!!

Kristin, I also used Clomid. I got pregnant on the 3rd month of using it. I had a Molar Pregnacy, so I had a D&C. I am taking the Clomid again.

Hi Kristen, last month I took clomid 50mg for the first time and got pregnant the first time but m/c in the 5th week.I decided to take clomid as I too had long period cycles after getting off the pill. Now I need to decide whether I want to go back on the clomid. Does taking clomid up the chances of m/c?

I wanted to let you know that I too took clomid. The first time I took it it took me one month to get pregnant. That was a successful pregnancy and my "baby" is almost 6. The second time I took it, I tried it for five months with nothing. I got off of it. My dr was sending me in for a exploratory procedure to see what was going on. The month in between clomid and the procedure, I got pregnant. My second "baby" is now 3. I then proceeded to lose the next three babies. None of which I used clomid with. I just wanted to give you a different story of the miracles of clomid and my losses without. Hope this helps someone.

Hi Kristin, I have had two m/c in a row, I have regular cycles and had no problems getting pregnant but for some reason my doctor wants to put me on clomid to help prevent another m/c. I have not started yet and Im not sure I want to take it... still doing my research. I know not every womans situation is the same but in my situation my Doctor seems to think taking clomid will lessen my chance of anothr m/c. Its a choice I have to face and I am not sure yet?
