Hi Dear Doctor,
I am 33 yrs old, my husband and I have been working on conseption for the past seven months prior to that I was on birth control, my cycle is regular 27-29 days. I currently do not have cysts on ovaries, utrasound showed only one large folicle on one side, hosmones seems ok according to blood test on third day. My gyno wants to put me on Clomid, is it a good idea ? is it safe for the baby? Other alternatives? Or any natural herbs?
thank you!!!

Hello,
Clomid is a fertility drug used for the treatment of ovulation disorders. Clomid acts by causing the pituitary gland to produce a higher level of the hormones (FSH and LH) that control ovulation.
Occasionally,women taking CLOMID may have side effects like headache,bloating,blurred vision,sometimes a mild depression in few cases etc.
CLOMID is safe for child also.
CLOMID is highly effective in stimulating ovulation and appox.80% of women treated with clomiphene will ovulate.
There are only two recognisable risks associated with its use.They are...
Multiple pregnancy ( 8% women with CLOMID treatment can have multiple pregnancies)
Ovarian cysts.
You must go ahead with treatment of CLOMID as time may be running out for you to try it naturally.
Thanks
