success of clomid use

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

If a woman has used clomid twice two months in a row, shouldn't that be enough to raise the progesterone level to ovulate and get pregnant? She had a negative ultrasound of the ovaries and pelvis and also a normal hysterosalpingogram. She was able to get pregnant twice 15 yrs ago but not at 34 yrs old after being on depo-provera for 10 yrs. Does anyone has any advice?

You may also want to look for a good book on infertility tratments which explains the normal course of a work-up for both the male and female partners as well as the usual progression of treatment.

Best to you.

I'd say there are too many variables for here. That person should see a reproductive endocrinologist for a workup and then go from there.
