Clomid possibly linked?

[Razzberry]

I have taken clomid for both my pregnancies and havent got PE. I hope not

PE is just like that. It sucks.

I've had PE twice now and never taken clomid. I have read though that women with PCOS are at a higher risk for PE (not sure your reasons for taking clomid).

High risk factors for PE are -

- being overweight
- first time pregnancy
- having had PE previously
- PCOS or diabetes
- being hypertensive when not pregnant.

I have read a lot about clomid and PE has never been mentioned as a potential side effect.

If ther is a link, it may actually be a correlation - ie, the factors that raise the risk of PE also increase the likelihood that you need clomid in the first place
