Hi All

To cut a long story short - I have previously talked on here about trying for a baby with someone who during the process cheated on me and got someone else pregnant (she is due this week).

In the meantime, I decided to continue the process of finding out what was wrong with myself, (he was obviously fine !) ,so went ahead and had a laparoscopy and got confirmed diagnosis of PCOS with blocked left fallopian tube which could not be unblocked.

Tonorrow I have my follow up appointment (they told me with very short notice on Friday).

I have not told them that I am now single, as I wanted the chance to know what was wrong with me and wasn't sure if they would refuse to continue.

I believe the next step would have been clomid to try to induce ovulation in the one tube that DOES work.

My question is (out of curiosity as to whether or not it WOULD work and possibly save time working out the correct dosage if and when DO I find MR Right - do I go ahead with treatment ??).

I'm wondering what basically happens when they put you on Clomid - does it involve lots of hospital visits with partner - as this would obviously now not be possible.

Also - if they know the truth - would they refuse to now help me ? (I am in the UK, England)

Thank you

You can only be on clomid for upto 6 mos. at 1 time. Some Drs. will do longer but from what I read they shouldn't. I would not waste my 'chances' to just find out how it would work. When you are ready to really ttc , wether or not you find that special someone is when I would take the clomid. I think if you google it you find out more info.


How is it taken?

When used for ovulation induction, Clomid is taken orally for approximately five days early in the menstrual cycle. Depending upon your clinic protocol this may start as early as day 3 or as late as day 5. It is important to remember that the first day of the menstrual cycle is the first day of normal bleeding, not spotting. Most women begin with an initial dose of one tablet (50 mg.) per day. This dose may be increased by your physician in subsequent cycles if pregnancy does not occur. Once ovulating, most pregnancies occur in the first 6 cycles of treatment. Clomid is said to be able to induce ovulation in as much as 85% of the women who use it, though only half of those will actually become pregnant. Most authorities agree that continuing for more than 6 ovulatory cycles in not likely to increase the chances of success.
