Clomid

[atomic sagebrush]

FSH of 12 is not the end of the world - really! Women have gotten pregnant natually with FSH in the 20's.

The injectibles are the next step up in fertility treatments. There is a brief overview here http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and...ertility-drugs

Yes, Femara for fertility is an off label usage but it does seem to work for people. I really think Novartis is just covering themselves legally. One study found less birth defects with Femara than Clomid! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letrozole

Thank you so much for your help!

I am considering taking wheat grass but after re-reading this thread I am wondering if it is such a good idea? Would it interfere with the Clomid due to it's anti-estrogen effects?

Wheatgrass is believed to be safe to take with Clomid. If anything it ~may~ help make up some of the damage that the anti-estrogen effects of the Clomid does.

The more I think about it the more I confuse myself. I need to give my brain a rest to process all the info! How could wheatgrass potentially repair some of the effects of Clomid?

Because it will help you grow a nice uterine lining. Crappy uterine lining is one of the downsides of Clomid.

What dosage of wheat grass and when do you start taking it? I am on CD12 and took 50mg of Clomid cds 5-10, so I am waiting for my O now. I would appreciate any advice you could give. Planning to TDT from today through O, so maybe we will make the 7-10 DTD frequency that sways girls? Should we DTD am and pm or just pm? Thanks in advance.

if you are on CD 12 it is too late to take wheatgrass for this cycle. I wouldn't take it for TTC pink anyway - Bec is swaying blue so it is fine for her to take it.

For 7-10 days frequency you must start the 7-10 days before your first attempt. Please still go ahead and TTC this month, you can't afford to skip months on Clomid.

Thanks for clearing that up Atomic. I do not want to sway blue for sure. I guess we did not make the cut off for 7-10 days instead try to get pregnant and let the cards fall where they may. But we are DTD each day since CD12 so we will see.

I love that calculator! It says that I will O on the following dates and I think I am right on track:

If you take Clomid for 5 days from 01/28/2012 to 02/01/2012,
you would expect to ovulate between02/06/2012 and 02/11/2012.
You can start LH testing for ovulation on 02/04/2012.
Optimally you would start making love every 1-2 days starting on 02/04/2012.

Yes, don't worry too much about the frequency, the Clomid sways way more than the frequency ever could! Good luck.
