Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | unexplained infertility |
| Dosage & duration: | | 50 mg taken once per day for the period of 5 days per month |
| Other conditions: | | none |

Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Intended to produce more follicles to increase chances of conception, in combination with intrauterine insemination. I had 5 rounds of treatment, though I'm not sure why the doctor chose to try this many times when none of the early tries were successful. Some stimulation occurred - 7-10 follicles were stimulated with each treatment - but conception did not occur. |
| Side effects: | | Visual disturbances (flashing light effects, blurring), mood swings, fluid retention. |
| Comments: | | Clomid was given on days 3-7 of the menstrual cycle, one 50 mg pill by mouth per day, at the same time each day. Follicle progress was subsequently tracked via ultrasound. Side effects were minimal with the first round of treatment, more severe with the 2nd onward. I have no known allergies or sensitivities to other medications, other than topical iodine. |
