    Supplements to avoid while on Clomid?

    Hi ladies,

    I’ll be starting my first Clomid cycle next week in reparation for my IUI (wihtout M/S) and I’m a little concerned about how it will interact with supplements I’ve been taking, specifically Tyrosine to help with thyroid functioning (I’m a Hashi’s patient), StaminoGro (multivitamin to help with fertility) and fennel tea for digestion. I don’t just want to quit cold turkey, because these supps are a big part of my blue sway, plus I’ve noticed real improvements in my overall health since I started taking them, but I also don’t want anything to interfere with the Clomid doing its job.

    Basically, what I want to know is, did anyone out there sway while doing IUI?
    If yes, which supps did you take and did it help?

    All responses welcome

    None of those that you mentioned should interfere with Clomid. Good luck!
    Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
    ^^^That is exactly what I did and everything has FINALLY worked out for the best. I couldn't be more happier in my life than I am right now with these 2 blessings that were brought into my life.

    Good luck! I may be doing IUI in the future myself....I've taken Clomid and had no problems and I was taking a prenatal, fish oil, and some green supplements at the time (I was a boy swayer) and all was fine. I think you want to stay away from hormonal stuff, but the thyroid meds are fine from what I've read. Michaela knows all about meds, so you are good. No pregnancy, but it had nothing to do with that. (We have male factor....hence the possible IUI in the future.) I did get some mad hot flashes, though....was always hot and kinda irritable also, but I did ovulate like clockwork on cd13, which is a day earlier than my natural cycle. Keep us updated!
    (2002) (2005) from 1st marriage. TTC since Aug 2010- Dx: low sperm count and 1% normal sperm. We are giving up and moving on with a baby-free life.
    UPDATE: surprise bfp in Feb 2013! It's a BOY!

    NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!
