Pregnancy Info HOME

WOW liza, I wonder why it is that while on prescribed Clomid, I at one point released 7 eggs, etc... in fact, I only relesed one egg ONCE, and I took clomid for 4 cycles.. now isn't that odd? Why would my doc want me to come in to be checked when I ovulate to see how many eggs I've produced if it is SO RARE for more then one to make it out... Also.... When I was dealing with the whole infertility issue, I was a member of many support groups... and there were SEVERAL parents of FRATERNAL twins/triplets as a result of taking Clomid. It is obvious to everyone here that you only get identicals if you have a family history, as identicals are a genetic issue. So were all these people.... my doctor and the parents of these children.... lying? And... just to clarify.... I never used the word geriatric . The phrase that was used was "Advanced Maternal Age," which, um, even by YOUR definition is when mom is 35 or older when she gives birth. and yes, this info is from a .edu site....although anyone with a library card can find this information.. So I have to wonder, how long ago did you study in the US, and how do you "know more" then the fertility specialist that I see?? I mean, there is what is taught in the text book, and there is real life............ and how can you, as a medical person, support the illegal use of unprescribed medications???? NO ONE here has a problem with PRESCRIBED meds. These women could have pre-existing conditions, risk factors, etc for any of the many risks and side effects of Clomid.... cysts, etc. Yes, a risk they are willing to make... etc etc etc.... but how can a person with MEDICAL background think self-medicating is a GOOD idea??????
