Can Clomid Help In Getting Pregnant?
I tried clomid one month in july and became pregnant for the first time ever at 30. Unfortunately it was an ectopic and I lost my left tube. I am now 31 and I started clomid in november but didnt conceive. I took it again this month and my period is due to start jan 3rd but I am having slight cramping and air bubbles in my vaginal area.

Hi ,
Clomid definitely increases the number of eggs coming out of ovaries , thus increasing pregnancy chances.
But as you have history of tubal pregnancy, better to get patency of other tube checked by HSG( Xray with dye) or SSG ( Scan with dye) or laparoscopy.
If one tube is damaged , other one also has a chance.
When you get pregnant , have an early scan to confirm pregnancy in uterus.
If other tube is blocked or doubtful go ahead with IVF- it doesn't need tube
All the best
