Clomid shortage in Australia
There appears to be a Clomid shortage in Australia currently. I had trouble tracking some down today but did manage to get the last pack at a pharmacy after ringing around several places.
I'm wondering if I should fill my repeat prescription just in case, but then I also don't want to stockpile it and prevent someone else getting the medication (especially someone trying for a first baby)!

Consumers and health professionals are advised that there is a shortage of clomifene 50 mg tablets (also known as clomiphene), which are marketed in Australia as Clomid and Serophene.
Clomifene is used in the treatment of ovulatory failure in patients who wish to become pregnant.
Clomid is currently experiencing a shortage due to manufacturing issues, and is not expected to be available until 31 December 2016.
Upon further googling, it seems shortages are quite common. Anyway, I thought it would be a good heads up for anyone in Aus wanting to get clomid, just don't leave it to the last minute to find :)
