Clomid and Miscarriage?

I had a problem with early miscarriage and taking clomid actually helped me conceive my first child {now 6} and I have had no problems conceiving my other 3. I hope this gives hope. Good Luck.

My husband and I tried to conceive unsuccessfully for about 10 months. The last couple of months we tried, my OB-GYN had me use ovulation predictor tests...all tests were negative for ovulation. She then prescribed Chlomid. I was shocked when my period was late ( it is never late) the first month. I took 2 pregnancy tests that were both positive! I went immediately to my doctor for blood work that confirmed my pregnancy and went 2 more times every other day to confirm that my HCG levels were progressing normally. Everything looked good, and I was scheduled for my first ultrasound today (July 7th). But, last Saturday (about 9 weeks pregnant), I began having extreme cramping and bleeding. My OB sent me to the ER, where after exam and ultrasound, my fears of miscarriage were confirmed. I am unspeakeably sad and disappointed, but I don't necessarily think the Chlomid had anything to do with it. Unfortunately, I think these things just happen. I plan on starting back on the Chlomid next month and trying one more time. If you are having trouble conceiving, I still think you should try using Chlomid. My advise (and trust me, I'm definitely not an expert) is that if you do become pregnant, just be cautious for your first trimester...Chlomid, or no Chlomid. You may only want to tell the people you are closest to, maybe even just keep it between your husband and yourself. I told everyone...even went out and bought some maternity clothes and baby stuff. You SHOULD be excited... just cautiously. The development of mere cells into a living baby really is an absolute miracle, and sometime things just don't happen perfectly. I wish you the best of luck and blessings. I really think my situation is an exception. Hopefully, everything will go off without a hitch for you!

I took clomid for almost 1 and 1/2 years. I finally went to a fertility specialist, instead of my regular OB, and she increased he dosage to 100 mg. With the help of this increased dosage and 2 IUIs later I was pregnant. I carried my daughter full term with no difficulties. Without clomid and the IUI procedure, I don't think I would ever become a mom. I hope this helps.

C., I am on my first cycle of clomid. I was nervous too about the miscarriages. I am just hoping for a positive pregnancy test this month! I wish you the best of luck! Keep me updated. I didn't really feel any side effects besided moodiness.

I've had experience with clomid but unfortunately it did not help me get pregnant. The three months I did try it though, I threw up just 30 minutes after taking it every single time. So, make sure that the time you take it (it has to be the same time every day) is a time when you're going to be normally at home :) It has a different effect on everybody, you may not have that reaction, but I know I did!

After trying to get pregnant for 18 months (in 2004), I took one round of Clomid and got pregnant with twins! I am happy to report that I had no side effects from the Clomid and had a very successful twin pregnancy, delivering two full term twin boys. Based on what I remember, I don't think the miscarriage rate from taking Clomid is any higher than miscarriage rate from someone who conceived "naturally." Good luck!!

I have not taken clomid myself, but a coworker did, and found out she was pregnant with triplets after her first round! I haven't heard of any negative side effects.

Hi C.. I conceived my first son by clomid and IUI. He was my first pregnancy and it was successful. I am currently pregnant again. We did use clomid for this pregnancy. I'll keep you updated.

There are some side effects but different people experience diffeent things. With my first, I had double vision at night. I was on it for 3 1/2yrs on and off. This time, I only used it for 1 cycle and I had no side effects. It can make you moody, gain weight, gie you headahes, etc.

There are always risks to anything you take....even tylenol. But to me personally, anything worth having is worth the risk.

Hope this helps.

I took clomid for a few months in 2003 and became pregnant. I found out January 30th 2004. I had a miscarriage on March 8th, 2004. The doctors put me back on clomid after a couple month break after the miscarriage. I took one dose and got pregnant again. That time it was successful and I delivered a full term (one week late even) healthy boy on March 6, 2005. I did not experience any side effects of the drug. In my opinion, it is worth the risks because you could have a miscarriage even if you didn't use the drugs. Just take your time and be patient. It will all work out in the end.

Good luck,
S.

C.,

Hey I took clomid in December and am now 8 weeks pregnant. It worked really well for me. I didn't have any side effects from the medicine its self. The only small side effect I had was that my sex drive increased. I guess that since you are trying to get pregnant that isn't such a bad side effect. Good Luck

I took clomid for about a 6 month span of time when I was about 20-21. Unfortunetly,it did not work for me.However,I had a very close friend that took clomid for only a month before becoming pregnant with identicle twin boys. She carried the babies to 35 weeks (about)which a normal twin gestation. They were born healthy and are now VERY vibrant healthy 6 year olds. Neither myself or my friend had any ill side effects. All I can really tell you is to be patient. I was not able to get pregnant at that time. I am a firm believer in the fact that it will happen when it is meant to happen. I am now the mother of a pretty healthy 4 1/2 year old,conceived without any drugs about 2 years after taking the course of clomid.I hope that things work out very well for you.
