" I took this medication, it's also called Clomid. It's supposed to make you ovulate. It was effective for me, it made me ovulate but my tubes were blocked. Hope this helpful for you. "

" Thanks! I didn't know it's the same medication. I also took it before IUI.
My friend told me she took it to straighten her ovulation without doing any procedure, so it made me curious. "

" Hi there. Clomid is the usually the first thing they try when you go to the doctor about infertility. It is supposed to help you ovulate more regularly.

I took it for 6 cycles at 50 mg. I got pregnant once but miscarried. It had pretty bad side effects for me, but everyone reacts differently.

Also, it is important to make sure that your husband/partner has a good semen analysis. 40% of IF is male, 40% is female and 20% is both.

Good luck. Hoping and praying it works for you. "
