Clomid, Can it Help Me Get Pregnant?
Clomid
is the most commonly prescribed fertility drug on the market today. And that is because it is not only very easy to take (pill form, not injections) but because it is so effective as well. 80% of women who take Clomid to help them to ovulate do ovulate and 40-45% of those women get pregnant in their first 6 cycles using it. Because 25% of female infertility is because of a woman either not ovulating or not ovulating regularly, this medication is probably the most well known and used fertility drug in America. A common problem women have that keeps them from ovulating is polycystic ovarian syndrome. Clomid is a very good option for a woman with PCOS, so long as she doesn’t have a blocked tube. A woman who is undergoing intrauterine injection is also a good candidate to get it as well because the doctor needs to be sure she is ovulating when they inject her husband’s sperm into her womb. The procedure is costly and time consuming, so getting it right the first time is always the goal.
Side effects? There are only a few side effects from taking the drug, and they are very similar to that of pregnancy “side effects.” The most common one being: * hot flashes * nausea * mood swings * breast tenderness * decreased quality of cervical mucous
In order for sperm to be able to travel to the fallopian tube, find the egg and fertilize it there must be good quality cervical mucous to allow this to occur. Because it can decrease the quality of a woman’s cervical mucous, she will want to use a sperm friendly lubricant in conjunction with the drug.
Preseed
is probably the best one on the market.
Can Clomid really help you to get pregnant? The answer is YES! If you have been struggling for months trying to conceive, but to no avail, talk to your doctor to see if Clomid is right for you. A woman with a blocked tube or other medical conditions may not be a candidate for the medication. The medication is so effective that nearly half of the women who use it do indeed get pregnant nearly right away. And of those who are successful, 10% have twins, and 1% has triplets (or more)!
Although there are not many side effects associated with Clomid, we have a word of caution. There have been studies done to prove an increase in cervical cancer with the use of fertility drugs. As with all medication, use this only as a last resort, if nothing else works. We have found that prayer, relaxation and using natural approaches are usually just as effective. Always cure the problem, not mask it with drugs. If your problem is PCOS and you are overweight. Lose weight! If you have thyroid issues, then get those issues treated first, and see if you don't start ovulating on your own.
