Clomid question

Hi,

I have what may be a bit of a stupid question... I have PCOS and was prescribed clomid for my second baby and fell pregnant pretty much straight away on 50mg. I went through my doctor who sent me to my ob/gyn and got tested etc. I want to take it again to TTC #3 - my question is: can my GP prescribe clomid and will I have to go through all the tests again? Or is it just in the domain of a specialist? eg ob/gyn (Hope I am making sense!) I'm stressing at the thought of having to go through all of that again, and the expense. And it's so time-consuming going to the doctor, getting referral, going to specialist, ultrasounds, bloodtests etc! (Not being lazy or anything, just busy!:boohoo: )

If anyone can answer I would really appreciate it.. Thank you guys!

Hey there, unfortunately GP's cant prescribe clomid. Only fertility specialists ob/gynos can.

I dont think you will have to go through all the tests again. If I were you I would make an appointment and just tell them that you needed it to conceive with your other 2 kids and would like to takw it again.

Hope you get your bfp really soon :)

Yep - only an OB/Gynae can prescribe but you shouldn't need the tests again. I just went back to my specialist and he wrote me a script.

Hi Danni and Michelle,

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me. I really appreciate it. I'm chicken to go to my ob/gyn because I stuffed him around with my 6 week post-partum appointment (cancelling and rebooking) and then never went (I knew he wanted to do a pap smear!!). It just would have been so easy to waltz into the gp's to get it! I don't think I'll be falling naturally until I get it - I was TTC for years with my first two (I don't ovulate or get normal periods). Oh well...

Best of luck for these cycles for you both. Again ,thanks for replying.

No problem Zoe. Good luck with your journey.
