If your doctor is just prescribing medications such as Clomid because you have not been able to conceive, make sure and ask them how this medication is going to help. Feel free to ask the to do blood work to try and determine what is creating the problem. Test that may help determine what is going on with your body are:
FSH
LH hormone
Progesterone
Thyroid
Estradiol
It is not really good just to take medications because they worked for other women. it is best to determine the problem and then treat. When women come to me with these test results we are ahead of the game.
When you come in for your treatments, we will be keeping a basal body temperature chart, we will see how the chart looks each month. We will see how your tongue and pulse are. With this information we will have a idea what is going on with your body. Together with the blood test results we will be able to confirm what we are seeing with your body.

My name is Holly Lem and i would like to show you my personal experience with Clomid.
I am 28 years old. I got preg first time on my own & miscarried. after a while of trying, my dr put me on clomid. after the first round i got pregnant & miscarried. i decided not to try or think about it at all probably for a 9 months... right around the time baby would be due & then started trying again. after a few months got back on clomid. after 5 months and no pregnancy i'm giving it a rest again. it's to much disappointment. i'm going to give it a try again soon, in the mean time we're keeping our fingers crossed for the old fashioned way to work.
I have experienced some of these side effects-
HOT FLASHES, moody, cry easily, weight gain, headaches etc!!
I hope this information will be useful to others,

I don't know if you have ever kept a bbt chart, but if you have it would probably show you have a kidney yang defiency. Which would mean the progesterone is not enough after ovulation. It would be interesting to see your charts. There are herbs, acupunture and diet that.would probably be able to help you.
Thanks for sharing your story.
