Anyone taking Clomid ever heard of taking Clomid after no menstrual cycle ?

This is the correct way to take clomid.  The clomid is going to make you ovulate which will in turn increase your chances of pregnancy.  Having your period releases the old unfertalized egg.  However, your concerned with ovulating not having a period.  You can still ovulate even though you didnt get your period last month.\n\nGood luck! It will happen eventually\n\nps. be cautious of the possibilty of multiple births on these drugs

WELL...do I have a lot to say about this!\nWhen I got to college, I decided to get on birth control because I was sexually active.  I originally started on Depo Provera.  I went through three shots, then stopped them because I was concerned about the severe cramping and spotting I was having.  When I stopped taking them, I had a period for a straight month and then very irregular menstruation for a year thereafter.  :(  \n\nThen, a year later, when I was on serious boyfriend #2, I decided to go on the pill.  I kept forgetting them at inconvenient times - rushed trips across the state because of a relative in the hospital, etc.  This was not effective at all.  Plus, I had the worst loss of libido ever.  I was pretty moody.  My boyfriend said that it was how the BC worked...he couldn't get any!!   And I was rather disappointed about how the Pill *didn't* clear up my monthly acne breakouts.\n\nThen, I decided to go on the Ortho Evra patch.  I loved it...until I had a blood clot.  I had throbbing pain in my right arm one night for hours, then my whole right side went numb for a couple of days.  It passed, but I was advised not to go on hormonal BC for another year. \n\nI was recently cleared to take the progesterone-only pills (like Depo, but no shot), but my now-husband and I decided it wasn't worth the risk to my health.  Now, we always use condoms and we're very careful close to my fertile time...\n\nI think that only your doctor and you can really go through the pros and cons of hormonal BC.  Sometimes a woman's body chemistry handles the hormones differently.  Monitor your symptoms after going on the BC and then keep in touch with your MD.

It does seem some women can became pregnant. \n\nWomen with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a number of seemingly unrelated symptoms, many of which manifest themselves as cosmetic annoyances which vary from nominal to extreme.\n\nINFERTILITY\nPCOS may account for as many as half of all cases of infertility. Because women with PCOS generally do not ovulate regularly, it affects their ability to conceive. However, many women with PCOS are able to get pregnant, especially with the help of a fertility specialist, and to carry successful pregnancies to term. There are a number of possible treatments, ranging from simple and fairly inexpensive medications which induce ovulation to costly high-tech treatments such as in vitro fertilization. Some of the most exciting new options being used to regulate cycles and enhance fertility are medications known as “insulin sensitizers”. Insulin sensitizing medications (Cmetformin) address the underlying endocrine problem present in many women with PCOS and can restore natural ovulatory function.

Even a low dose of the pill makes my hormone levels weird. The last time I was on the pill my husband told me not to worry about taking it because nothing was going to happen to where I might get pregnant. Look into NFP.

yep. birth control throws off the menstral cycle and it can be irregular for several months.

I was on Yasmin and when I needed to not be on my period my doctor recommended that I skip the inactive pills and go straight to the new pack.  I did this a couple of times because I had a big test at school (I have endometriosis too and the periods are painful) and didn't want to be on a period.  I found that I got even more headaches and was extremely moody.  I also had more pelvic pain which is most likely associated with the endo.

Hi Guys, \nI just wanted to say, as an ex Clomid taker, its nasty stuff.\nI would seriously not reccomend trying to get it without seeing your doctor first, due to the fact that you must be closely monitored while on it. May women suffer from Over stimulated ovaries, and not only is this painful, but it can also damage your ovaries. This is a serious drug you are talking about, and it has a heap of side effects. Believe me, Ive been there and done it. You are supposed to go for blood tests on a particular day of your cycle, so your Ob/Gyn can establish if you have indeed ovulated, or if there is a high enough level of progesterone in your system. Its not just something you can take and magically ovulate and fall pregnant. \nIf you plan on takimg something like this, you need to see a doctor first, who will have to do a number of tests, check you insuli resitance etc.\nMay I suggest you check out The Clomid Club....just google it. Its a whole site full of dicussion boards there they talk about trying to concieve.

I had this after my oldest daughter, for about 9 months to a year. It was the most awful thing I ever had and wouldnt recommend it to anyone. \n\nI bled every day EVERY DAY for almost a year\nI got pregnant and miscarried\nDecreased sex drive (kind of goes with teh constant bleeding/spotting)\nMoody, like PMS that never truly goes away\n\nI've talked to other women who didnt have the side effects I did, so I guess this doesnt happen to everyone. But this is what it did to me.

I'm assuming you ruled out pregnancy. Assuming that, you should know that it's not unusual for a woman to have her cycles stop temporarily after going off the Pill. It's nothing to worry about but you should check with your doctor. He/She can give you a hormone shot that will bring the periods on, but depending on your particular situation, he might encourage you to wait it out for about a year to see if the periods restart on their own.

I'll tackle the bonus question since the first person got it exactly right--you just skip the placebos.\n\nThat blood (or more correctly, endometrial lining) won't go anywhere until you have a period.  However, one of the effects of the pill is to cause less endometrial tissue to form--one of the ways it prevents pregnancy is by thinning the endometrium to a point where it could not support the development of an embryo.  So you might have a period that's a little heavier than usual if you skip one, but gradually your periods should get shorter and lighter the longer you stay on the pill.\n\nAlso, the safest pills for skipping periods are the low estrogen pills.  This is because when you skip a period, you get an extra week of hormones.  If you have estrogen-related side effects, they might get a little worse when you skip your period.\n\nIf you want to skip periods often, you should look into the lowest dose pills (Alesse, Mircette, and LoEstrin--I personally am on Mircette and I love it).  Better yet, there is a new pill called Seasonale that gives you only four periods a year.

no. as a female whose taken topamax, there may be a slight bit of irregularity to your cycle, but it will not stop it. In fact Topamax has been known to give you anemia

I used it for almost a year and I LOVED it. I had no bad experiences. I skipped my periods which was great. I definitely recommend it.

I've been on it for 15 years because I had toxic shock syndrom in college and did not want a hysterectomy.  I recently discovered from a bone density test that I have thinning bones and am a candidate for osteoperosis.  My OBGYN kicked up my calcium and vitamin D, but it may be too late.  I did gain a little weight, but since I was so under-weight due to the disease, it hasn't bothered me much to gain a few pounds.  Since I cannot have children anyway, I was never told of any problems with miscarriage or defects as a result of being on depro provera for the length of time I have been.

yes it is safe  for the followig reasons\na)  you dont have to rely on taking a pill or anything , its automatic\nb)You get the most insane mood swings that the sight of your partner wants to make you scream at him hence no sex\nc) you have no libido so eve if you are having a good day (hahaha) you dont want to have sex\nd) when you are not angry and fighting you are depressed and want to cry\n\nbut remember once you take it there is no going back - you are stuck with it for 3 months... \n\n other side effects were - really really bad skin ( stil not back to normal and ist been 4 months)\n didnt get my period, only came back a week ago YAY\nhair got all dry and gross\njust the mood swings - MY GOD! it was horrible\n\n but i had a flat mate who loved it she had been on it for 2 years!!!!!  - it affects everybody differntly

I was on it about 3 months ago for 5 days and had a normal period when it was over (actually alot lighter than normal). I would get in to see your dr. immediately! Don't let them give you the run around!!
