Hi all
I am new to this so I apologise now if I get it wrong!
My doctor has prescibed provera and clomid after coming off the pill last May... and nothing! I am now patiently awaiting the arrival of AF (finished 1st round of provera on Tuesday night) and will start taking clomid on day 3 for 5 days. The doc has prescribed 25mg for the first round, which, from what I can see, seems a bit low!
Any advice for a newbie in this - I am so excited about finally starting the journey, but quietly nervous too!
Thanks
Hi Amanda
Welcome firstly, I hope some of us are able to help you through this difficult period. Id say your doctor is being very cautious putting you on 25mg, especially if you don't have a diagnosed condition or anything. Clomid is a very strong drug & some people also suffer from side effects so he's probably wanting to see how you go first round before they increase the dose, plus you may only need a slight push to make your body start regulating itself which is the point of the clomid. Im sure the other girls agree with me when I suggest that you should maybe start taking the clomid at night or at dinner time as I think you'll find that you sleep through most of the side effects & won't have anything as severe as what you may during the day. Keep in touch & let us know how you are going on the clomid and provera, we will all keep our fingers crossed for you.
