    My GP did prescribe clomid for me. Diferent states may have different rules about this... but my GP is allowed to prescribe it. The chemist did a check to see if he was allowed before handing it out too. And it worked first go for me. At 34 I was really keen for this baby to hurry up. But i wasnt Oing at all without it.

    certain GP's have undergone extra "training" i guess you'd say, and are able to hand out scripts for clomid. clomid isn't JUST for those that don't ovulate at all - it can help to improve hormone levels before and afer ovulation to make them more appropriate for conception and implantation. if your gyne isn't helping, get GP to refer you to FS - won't hurt to talk to them...

    I'm a clomid fan. I started charting around May 07 which is when I noticed a short LP, I fell pg 2 months later only to m/c that Bub (my second m/c). We then had a 4 month break to do some tests to see if there was a reason for my m/c's (which there wasn't) and although I Ov on my own my Ob put me on Clomid. I started on a low dose of 50mg from cd2-6. I fell pg on the second cycle with this little munchkin who is due in 9 weeks. I honestly believe that the clomid helped to give my hormones a helping hand to a) fall pg & b) stay pg. It's your personal choice but I don't regret any of the $$$ that DH and I have spent so far to fulfill our dream of having a baby. Your Gyn should be able to prescribe clomid for you. Good luck and I hope to see a BFP next to your name soon!!!!
