If you have never had a scan of your ovaries, you could have an antral follicle count of 30 depending on your age. You just need to understand the risks of taking a drug recreationally. It's your life of course but you asked and that's my opinion.

Yeah if you've NEVER had your ovaries scanned I'd be nervous.
Wow! I'm getting scared now.
I'm going to be 35 soon.
What is antral follicle 30?

I agree that my very great preference is that everyone is monitored while on Clomid but that is NOT the outcome that 99.99% of people would ever have on Clomid. Kate was likely taking a very high dose, she had severe PCOS, and had already had multiples so she is the exception and not the rule.Quote:

So it's not necessarily a question of , if you get it from your doctor, all is well, yk??
It takes fully fertile couples doing nothing to sway, an average of 3-6 monthsQuote:

I would not take the medication without my husband's blessing. But fact is, you can still get twins without Clomid. I take the risks of twinning very seriously and I honestly don't WANT people to get pg with twins.
Yes, getting a scan is my very very very great preference for everyone who has taken Clomid. If it is ppossible, please do so. Then you simply TTC if there is only 1 or 2 follicles. The odds of both eggs getting fertilized is really not that high. Or, if you want to be absolutely sure you'd just DTD if only one egg was ovulated - but many times two eggs are ovulated even without Clomid.
THat 30 eggs are in development in your ovaries. Clomid could possibly make more of these eggs develop and be ovulated.Quote:

Just say you've been TTC a while and think you're missing ovulation.Quote:

At least tell your husband!!!
I think after reading all the replies my gut feeling tells me to just go at it natural.
I have been on the diet for 7 weeks so far and I will be on it for almost 9 weeks when we try this cycle. I have been mainly eating vegetarian and have lost 7 lbs ( currently weigh 100 lbs)
Husband is doing supplements and we will give it another one time BD attempt.
I just found out another mom here that had clomid for sway purposes only is having a boy so that makes me feel better about my decision ( she hasn't reported back).

Hopefully I can stay strong and keep this mindset and won't get tempted once my clomid is here in a few days.
