Both Clomid and Depot Provera are HORRIBLE drugs. Depot Provera stays in your body for longer than the 3 month interval for injections. Therefore, the amount of Depot Provera in your body increases over time. One of my patients had to wait over 2 years before all her Depot Provera was gone. For more information about Clomid, pleases see our web site, <www.texasfertility.com>.
Good luck.

I understand Depo and I have read your website but I don't understand the bad effects of Clomid. It looks as though it has a lower effective rate, 17% but I did not see any further documentation.

To get other treatment I will need to go to a specialist an hour and a half away.

clomid commonly makes a wreck of cervical mucus and the endometrium, and causes the growth of a follicle, which does not rupture to release the egg. Yes, you need to go to a Reproductive Endocrinologist. Most of my patients travel at least half an hour to get to my office. Some come from out of state. You must set your own priorities.
Good luck.

Do you have a website where I can find a reputable, good, reproductive endocrinologist?

I am on day 28 and called the doctors office. Doctor is out but the nurse asked an on call doc and he said it looks like clomid is overstimulating and I have a cyst now. I don't really know what to do, I have not started my period and I can't get into my doc until Jan. 4th.

I asked if that means I am not pregnant and she said possibly not with a cyst. I also asked if my period would start on its own and she said it might or might not but if it does not by Tuesday they will do a pregnancy test and decide what to do from there.

I really do need more knowledge but I don't want to pick a doctor out of the phone book. I think this is a good time to go for a second opinion.

Thank you for your assistance,
Heather

You might try the web site of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, <www.asrm.org>, to find an RE near you.
Good luck.

I am 22 years old. I have been TTC for two years also. I
was on the Depo shot from the time I was 14 intil I was 19. All my doctors keep saying that it is out of my system. I wonder all the time if choosing to get that shot
because it was easy and convinent was the worst mistake i could have made. If anyone wants to chat I would love to. Just email me at Mrspankysmom@aol.com

It can take years to clear the Depot-Provera from your body. All you can do for that is wait. Once you start having periods, again, it wil be gone. I would advise NOT using Clomid. There are much better products on the market, if you need ovulatioin induction.
Good luck.

I started having my period 6 months after I discontinued the shot. My periods are regular 30 days apart every month. I had the test done on my fallopian tubes and they are not blocked. My doctor wants to put me on Clomid if I am not pregnant by Feburary. What are some of the other options available?

The option with the longest record and the most data is to use one of the many products on the market which contain the pituitary hormone, FSH. A newer product which seems to have great potential is Femara. For more infformation, I invite you to see our web site, <www.texasfertility.com>.
Good luck.
