Lol I don't know if I can take up running! I hate cardio. But, great to know she's had 3 babies taken because of fertility issues - that's my problem too!
I appreciate all of your success stories ladies!

What you have to understand is that the majority of people on Clomid are on it for SOME REASON (and not the reason you were on it, Taytum). Maybe they had PCOS, or were older, or thyroid issues, or had some other health issues (like obesity or extreme thinness) all of those things are affiliated with increased risk of losses.
Correlation does not equal causation and even tho there is a SLIGHTLY higher rate of losses in the Clomid mamas, that does not mean Clomid causes miscarriage IT's the underlying reason for the Clomid that causes the higher rate of loss, not the Clomid. (I actually discussed this with Dr. Potter and he agreed too!!)
Clomid has been around since the 1960's and I (not a fan of prescription medication as a rule) believe it to be among the very safest and most awesome inventions of mankind! It WORKS and it's as safe as it gets in terms of medicine!

Thanks so much, atomic! I figured that for the most part, like you said, many on Clomid had bigger infertility issues than what I was experiencing. I've basically taken all of the success stories here and put them in the back of my mind - this will be a healthy and sticky baby - I just know it!❤️
The Internet is sometimes a scary place. Being here though keeps my sanity - you are all some of the most knowledgeable women in the business!
