Pregnancy Info HOME

Lauren, Am feeling good so far. Clomid did not have any side-effects this time. On 200mg I had extreme bouts of depression ~ 1 hour after taking the pill, and sometimes a headache (this is described in the information the pharmacist gives you). I took it on the days recommended by the doctor for 5 days (I forget exactly which days). The doctor then saw me almost 2-3 times a week to do a vaginal untrasound and monitor the development of the egg(s). On day 13 I was called in for HcG shots (injection on your bum, to stimulate the release of the egg(s)) and two days after, I was called in for an IUI. 2 more weeks later I found out I was pregnant :-) I would NOT recommend doing any of this unsupervised by a good endocrinologist. My previous doctor was a regular OB-GYN, and didn't diagnose any problems... just embarked on a course of Clomid and it didn't help. He stopped the Clomid after a 6 months course because it is not recommended for long term use. My 2nd doc was a good endocrinologist -- I guess I'm trying to strongly suggest you go to a good specialist. Going to the wrong doctor/getting the wrong treatment is financially and emotionally draining.
