Fertility Therapies & Clomid

I agree. Your doctor is doing a good thing.

I have NEVER had problems with cysts.....until I started Clomid. Now when I take the medication I typically develop one. Some months it gets quite large (and EXTREMELY) painful. When that happens I have to take a "rest cycle" - no clomid, very limited baby dancing activity. My doctor told me that cysts can sometimes cause the ovary to twist. The blood supply gets cut off as a result and then the ovary dies. Bottom line, cycts can be VERY problematic if not monitored.

Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor. You need to have a trusting relationship.

Hi-
I'm trying to remember what i said about a second dr?
The only thing I can think of is, the first dr i was going to is when I went on clomid for the first time.
I don't believe that he was a very caring dr. because he did 'nt do any ultrasounds.
It was just me going to get blood work done to see if follicles were formed and to see if I ovulated.
I would like to beleive that the first time with clomid did't work because I was extemely nerved out due to problems with my husband.
The second dr. was because we moved. So I wanted to give the clomid another chance.
I don't have bad nerves anymore, so I'm praying for another chance with God that I will become pregnant.
Yeah, the ultrasound is to check to make sure everything is looking good and going well.
Supposedly, clomid can cause cysts in some people.
I guess I'm not one of them becsuse with the first dr, he had no concern. This one is very thoro.
I feel for you. I also am just asking for god's timing to be real soon!
We've been trying for about 3 1/2 yrs.
I don't know about you, but I can't afford to start seeing a specialist.

Kris.
