Hi AnnaT. Clomid isn't just used for women with PCOS, it's used for pretty much all disorders that involve ovulation - women who are annovulatory, luteal phase defects, not ovulating well enough, also for women who may have lost a tube as it can help them ovulate on both sides. It seems to be the first line treatment in many cases, but it just doesn't work for me. I only ever had one round of 50mg, which didn't make me ovulate, but did give me severe anxiety problems - so bad that I'm not willing to ever take it again. My FS is trying me on another drug (we may be doing IVF, but I still need to ovulate somehow in order to have a FET) which is fairly new - letrozole. Does the same thing as clomid, but uses a different mechanism in the body.

Hope this helps!
