Clomid and Other Stimulation Medications

Clomid and other stimulation medications are commonly used with IUI and IVF to treat ovulation disorders and unexplained infertility. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) refers to the use of these fertility drugs to stimulate the growth and development of ovarian follicles to produce multiple eggs and increase the chance of pregnancy.

Depending on the medication, it may be in pill form, such as Clomid, or injectable, such as Gonal-F or Menopur.

Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is one of the most often used fertility drugs. Clomid is often prescribed as a first-line fertility treatment for women who are struggling to get pregnant. Find more information on Clomid here:

I'm 20 years old me and my husband have been trying to conceive for 2 years with no luck i need help ... i'm to the point of tears , we cant afford the help of a fertility clinic ...

I'm so sorry you're having such a difficult time. I know you think you can't afford the help of a fertility clinic or a fertility doctor, but I encourage you to schedule a consultation. Most cases of infertility do not require high-tech treatment. A fertility doctor can review your situation, and determine what the next steps are. You owe it to yourself to at least schedule a consultation. Please keep us posted. Claire

I have finaly met the man of my dreams and we plan to marry. I had my tubes tied six years ago but somehow I hope a miracle can help me get pregnant. I really would love to consimate our marriage with a child.

First of all, congratulations! Because your tubes are tied, you are either going to have to have that reversed, and/or you are going to need the help of a fertility doctor to get pregnant. Please make an appointment with a fertility doctor who can review your options with you. Best of luck! Claire

Hi. My husband and I are trying to conceive. We had 2 miscarriages already, and we both have had check-ups to see can we conceive again. I am taking fertilaid for women and men, and fertilcm for me to produce more cervical mucus. We just started taking them about a month ago, and I am tracking my bbt each cycle. I will keep you all informed to what happensPlease pray for us, and we will pray for you all.

Hi - I'm so sorry to hear you are having a hard time getting pregnant. Have you seen a fertility doctor? If not, you really should - because 2 years is too long to be trying without getting pregnant. I encourage you to schedule a consultation - bring your medical history with you and find out what's involved in the fertility workup. There's a search on every page of fertilityauthority.com - it's a listing of every fertility doctor in the country. I wish you the best. Please keep us posted. Claire

I am 45 I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years, it has been a roller coaster, I have used several of the meds and seen several Dr. I was put on the shots but could not afford to pay for them. So I am still trying to get pregnant I did use the IUI it didnt work, I am not giving up hope yet, but it is very emotional and it puts also stress on the situation, but Not giving up.

I am 46 and I have had two perfectly healty uneventul pregnancies (now 23 and 17 years old) I am getting remarried and we really want to have a child. Have been trying now for 7 months with no luck. Is it possible to get pregnant in your late 40's. (He is 42 years old)

Submitted by claire on Mon, 03/07/2011 - 10:51am
Your age is certainly a factor in getting pregnant. You really should see a fertility doctor who can evaluate your situation, and discuss what fertility treatments may be available for you. Some fertility clinics do have an age cut off (early to mid 40s depending on the practice) so I would recommend a consultation with a fertility doctor asap. You can use the Find a Doctor or Find a Clinic search on FertilityAuthority - you can search by zip code or city/state. Good luck! Claire

Hi I am 36 years old and my fiance and i are ttc. i've been preganant twice before (have a son thats 17 now) the second pregnacy I self terminated due to a very abusive relationship. My fiance is 37 and he has no kids and we've been trying for over 2 years. Took clomid for 5 cycles and no pregnancy yet. Had a HSG done and still nothing. He is supposed to have a semen analysis done in another week. My cylces are extremely off sometimes 4 a year. I'm getting so frustrated but I'm not giving up. Just need to know what my next steps are and what options can help afford a specialist if needed...

I am 29 years old I don't have a menestral and no I don't have any disease I was on birth control from age 17 to regulate my menestral. I stopped taking the birth control @ 28 so I could try to start a family, but for some reason it has been a fail. I don't have enough money to go to a fertility clinc. I was wondering is there any thing else that I can do to help me be successful at conceiving?
