Clomid shortage in Canada??
So my friend linked me this:
Why is clomiphene not available until later in 2015? - Fertility.ca
Clomid shortage in Canada this year? Nooooooooooo!!!
Me and hubby are going to be getting a referral to our fertility center in a few weeks (waiting for dr's appt) and Clomid was one of the first things I was hoping for to fix my crap LP issue. Plus, girl sway. But now there's a shortage?? ARGH wth!!!
Well hoping for Femara now. But has anyone in Canada experienced trouble with getting Clomid so far this year? How frustrating!!Me (38) and DH (38)

early m/c Jan 2013
Cycle #1 @ HRC (Oct 2014) - 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized and biopsied. 1XX and 1XY abnormal. 1XX no DNA found, rebiopsied and found normal, frozen.
FET attempt #1 (Nov 2014) - cancelled due to functional cyst. FET attempt #2 (Jan 30, 2015) - NT. Remaining embie failed to thaw.
May 2015 - started infertility treatments at OFC. Femara 2.5mg
July 2015 - BFP after second round of Femara. Aug 4 2015 - 6w4d
Dec 21 2015 - mmc 7w1d
Apr 2016 - IVF Cycle #2. Converted to IUI because of uneven response and leading follicles.
Apr 19, 2016 - IUI with 3 mature follicles (2 right, 1 left), post wash: 17mil, 94% motility and 89% rapid motility. BFN.
June 3, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 5w.
Sep 1, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 8w.
Our rainbow baby girl arrived on Mon Aug 28, 2017 - "After every storm comes a rainbow". We are so thankful and grateful for every moment.

Sounds like they are now, this thread says people are having a hard time in Ont and looks like July before they expect more:
Attention Clomid users! - Trying for a baby - BabyCenter Canada
And I agree about liking Femara better, but in Ontario it seems some RE's are reluctant to go for Femara first because of the off-label usage. The Clomid shortage should push them into Femara instead though.Me (38) and DH (38)

I guess it depends where you live too.
I'm actually not unhappy about the shortage, from my research I'd FAR prefer Femara for my PCO tendencies and my age. My friend used Clomid and she has similar cycles to mine, and Clomid ended up making her develop too many immature follies and made her LP even shorter. Which is about the opposite of what I need to do!!
So if the shortage means the RE will be forced to do Femara first, I have no complaints about that whatsoever.Me (38) and DH (38)

Yes, I'm from Saskatchewan and I was prescribed Femara for that reason. My RE said the same as you mentioned about the unavailability of Clomid. But she too, also prefers Femara.
