This is the story of two families. The Taylors and the Pitts. They were neighbours in a very nice subdivision, living next door to each other, sharing a white picket fence. Summers, they invited one another to backyard barbecues; winters, they went tobogganing together down Petersen Hill. They had something else in common as well. Both couples were childless, and were trying desperately to conceive. rnMrs. Taylor went to her doctor, had a bunch of tests done, and it was discovered that she was unable to conceive because she had problems ovulating. Her doctor prescribed Clomid (Clomiphene). rnClomid.rnClomid (Clomiphene) is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM), used to treat female infertility. It is the most commonly used fertility drug; easy to use, not too many side effects, quite inexpensive, and it has a fantastic rate of success. rnClomiphene is prescribed when there is a problem with ovulation. It is the drug of choice for females who have irregular menstrual cycles, or anovulatory menstrual cycles (menstruation without ovulation). Clomiphene is also used in the treatment of infertility caused by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). How to use Clomid.rnClomiphene must be used exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Each fertility expert has his own protocol for using this drug, and will prescribe accordingly. Generally Clomiphene 50 mgs. is prescribed for a five day period, from days 3 to 7, or days 5 to 9 of the menstrual cycle. But Clomiphene is just as effective whether the medicine is started from day 2, 3, 4 or 5. rnYou may not get pregnant in the very first cycle after using Clomiphene, and the doctor may adjust dosage, etc. a couple of times before getting the desired result. Side Effects of Clomid.rnLuckily, Clomiphene does not have too many side effects, and they all disappear once the drug has been stopped. Common side effects include: • Nausearn• Tenderness in the breastrn• Mood swingsrn• Hot flashesrnClomiphene can also cause some other serious side effects, so please check them all thoroughly with your doctor.rnIt is not advisable to take high doses of Clomiphene, as that can actually hinder conception by decreasing the quality of your cervical mucus. rnA very well-known side effect of getting pregnant using Clomiphene is the possibility of multiple foetuses. It is very possible to get twins or triplets (sometimes even more) when you use Clomiphene. rnPrecautions.rnDo not use Clomiphene if: • You are allergic to Clomiphene or any ingredients in the pillrn• You are already pregnantrn• You have abnormal vaginal bleeding without any known causern• You have ovarian cystsrn• You have hormone dependent tumoursrn• You have fibroid tumours in the uterusrn• You have thrombophlebitisrn• You have liver diseasern rnPlease inform your doctor about any other medication you may be using before you start treatment with Clomiphene.rnI am very happy to tell you that Mrs. Taylor gave birth to a lovely, 9 pound baby boy after using Clomiphene.rnMrs. Pitt went to a third world nation and adopted a beautiful baby girl whose parents had died of AIDS. The Pitts opened their home and their hearts to a little orphan.rnNow the Taylors and Pitts have even more in common. Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Pitt can often be seen walking in the park, babies in strollers. Mr. Pitt and Mr. Taylor have extra diaper duties, and are already planning to take the kids camping as soon as they are old enough.rnBoth families are as happy as they could be!
