Clomid is The Most Popular Pregnancy Medication
Clomid [Clomiphene citrate] Description
Clomid Generic Clomiphene is for women who are unable to be pregnant. Clomid is used to stimulate ovulation (the release of an egg) when a womans ovaries can produce a follicle but hormonal stimulation is deficient. Clomid Clomiphene is also called fertility drug, an ovulatory stimulant, generally used to stimulate the egg production in women. Clomid is first treatment for infertility to stimulate regular ovulation.
Uses of Clomid
Women who suffer from anovulation [when the ovaries do not release an egg on a monthly basis] due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome – PCOS [when there may be cessation of periods, irregular periods, or heavy bleeding due to ovarian cysts], are prevented from conceiving because of their medical condition. Gen 00004000 eric Clomid, the “fertility drug”, takes care of this. Due to increased ovulation, such women may give birth to twins, or even triplets.
This medication is sometimes prescribed to men who face fertility problems because of low sperm counts. Clomiphene not only increases the sperm count in such individuals, but also increases the sperm motility [ability to swim over to an egg], which helps in fertilizing the egg.
How to Use Clomid
Take the dose exactly as prescribed. It can be taken with water. For women the initial dose may be 50mg a day and the medicine has to be taken on day 3, 4 or 5 of the woman's menstrual cycle for 5 days. The doctor may increase the dose, if need be. Most women conceive within the first 6 months of Clomid therapy if that does not happen, consult your doctor.
In men, since sperm maturation takes long, treatment with Clomiphene has to be taken for 6 months at least.
Missed Dose of Clomid
It's normally a once-a-day dose. If you miss a dose, check with your gynaecologist, but don't double your dose.

QUESTION:
Is severe bleeding/clotting normal during your first menstrual cycle after a hysteroscopy to remove fibroids?
I had a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy 3 weeks ago to remove two uterine fibroids and endometriosis on the outside of my uterus. My first post operative menstrual cycle just started. I have the worst menstrual cramps, bleeding and clotting of my life. Is this normal after a hysteroscopy? Thanks for any help.-
ANSWER:
From my experience, I had mayomactomy ( to remove fibroids) in 2005. 3 days after the surgery I had my period and it was as heavy as it was before the surgery. I had the surgery because I had so many fibroids and heavy bleeding during the period. The situation wasn’t better after the surgery as my doctor said they could not remove all the fibroids as they were so tiny. So I had heavy bleeding after the surgery as well. If the doctors would remove all the fibroids they might not be able to keep my uterus.
I think you have tiny fibroids left inside the uterus. Go to your doctor and have a good check up.

QUESTION:
I am 14 weeks pregnant with several fibroids. I am bleeding everyday except on the weekend when I stay in bed
My job requires a lot of walking and standing with no modification available. Should my doctor put me on bedrest? I am bleeding every work day using a pantyliner.
I have not waited this long. The bleeding was reported at first onset. I have been to the doctor every time and now they are sending me to a specialist.-
ANSWER:
I had a fibroid that caused me to bleed for about a week when I was 8 weeks pregnant. If your Dr feels the pregnancy is threatened then by all means you should be on bed rest. This really isn’t a question anyone on here can answer.

QUESTION:
Why am I bleeding heavy after uterine abalation surgery. I had uterine fibroids and the surgery has not helpe?
I had surgery back in September and start bleeding about a week ago…heavier than normal why is this?-
ANSWER:
My wife had the same problem after treatment for fibroids.Your uterus has lost it’s lining from the surgery and is bleeding heavier,because the blood vessels are closer to the surface.Give it a month or two to regain the tissue that was scraped out and see your doctor if you feel faint or light headed from the blood loss.Once you have surgury,it can take weeks for it to heal.Try to rest as much as possible.
