I'm sure many of you have heard of Clomid, or at least many of the women my same age are familiar with it. I was introduced to Clomid about one and a half years ago by my OBGYN. Clomid and I became good friends for seven cycles. Yes, seven!
In women who do ovulate regularly, Clomid may be used for "superovulation," where 2 or 3 eggs are produced. This in turn increases the number of "targets" for the sperm, thereby increasing the chance of pregnancy.
I remember being so excited to start taking Clomid. I secretly thought more than once--this is it! In no time at all I will be pregnant. Well, seven months later and a handful of pregnancy tests later, no luck. I was sure that Clomid was our ticket to starting a family. I was wrong.
My spirits remained steady at this point. I knew there were lots of other treatment avaible for infertitlity, and I was on bored to get started.
With a referral to a specialist from my OB, we were off.
