hi everyone, Happy new year. I have been diagnosed with some hormonal imbalance due to irregular periods especially prolactin, I av been on bromocripton and my periods av refused to b normal. Now my gyne advice that I take primolut to bring back the period and then take Clomid to ovulate as am trying for a child. Has anyone gone through this treatment before? How long does it take to conceive on clomid? How do you plan sex when taking clomid? Am so anxious now. Pls help!

Hi I am being put on chlomid on 5th Feb.

You will most likely ovulate within 5 to 10 days after you take Clomid. To improve your chance of becoming pregnant, you should have sexual intercourse while you are ovulating.

Your doctor may have you take your temperature each morning and record your daily readings on a chart. This will help you determine when you can expect ovulation to occur.

If ovulation occurs but you do not get pregnant after 3 treatment cycles, your doctor may stop treatment and evaluate your infertility further.

In most cases, Clomid should not be used for more than 3 treatment cycles.

It can vary depending how much you take and how long you take it for this is just some info I found online about it as I am being put on it myself xx
