Never take clomid unprescribed. You should talk to your doctor about it. Never take clomid unprescribed.

I had had two miscarriages so I was able to GET pregnant just couldn't keep them. After tons of tests, the specialist had me do some type of Hormone shot which super charged my ovulation (shots like they do before IVF) and that's all it took. Good Luck!

The closest specialist to me is 12 hours away. I already have to drive 1 1/2 hours to see my OB! My OB says that if I still don't have a BFP by Christmas, that he will refer me to a specialist. Argh. I think that if this is not the month for me, I'm just going to call my OB and cry and whine until he gives me a referral. You're right...2 years is a long ass time. bakinbit – Unfortunately I’m only seeing an OB. The closest specialist to me is 12 hours away. I already have to drive 1 1/2 hours to see my OB!

After 2 years you would think your doctor would use other methods besides Clomid and Metaformin? Are you just going to you OB or are you seeing a specialist. I went to my OB for a year (I was over 35) and then saw a specialist. He was very frank and helpful and got to the root of the problem. I wish you lots of luck and hang in there...I know I know you are probably tired of hearing that....but I think you are probably a very strong woman judging from your plight......keep at it...and get another opinion, and another and another....Clomid doesn't work for everyone and doctors are too quick to prescribe in my opinion.

Sorry, I had to laugh at the "empty cella". :D But I am so glad your level is fine now (((hugs))). You'll be pregger soon, you're still young. You're still a baby when it comes to the TTC age. I've seen women who are past the age of 45 and still TTC'ing. Oh, I hope we won't have to wait that long to become mommies!!! Noooo.... I think we'll be fine. Keep our chin up! Be Happy! Hiya.

In fact, I now have "empty cella" ... which basically means that the drugs I took to get rid of the adenoma also got rid of part of my pituitary. My levels are ranging between 6-14 iu right now... so I think it should be okay. Yeah, the adenoma is gone now.

Your Prolactin level of 300 iu is really high. To get pregnant, the level should be below 20 iu or 22 iu. Is your pituitary adenoma under control now? My friend who has hyperprolactinemia, her level is about 75 iu. She has been trying to get pregnant for nine years! :( And she's still trying. I've heard of another lady who also has high prolactin and she got pregnant with bromocriptine, and her baby was normal. :) I hope we'll both get our BFPs soon (((praying hard))). Hey Erin,
