How Safe Is Taking Clomid For Fertility?

I just had a tubal reversal, my family dr has put me on clomid 50mg, this is my 2nd month. I started my period 4 days late, and reading about clomid has me afraid that it may have stopped me from ovultaing last month and dried me up, is that a chance with clomid of it stopping you if you ovualte fine on ur own? would it be in my best interest to take it again thismonth?

thanks alot

Hi, I think you can take clomid for ovulation. It doesn't prevent you from having a natural ovulation. But it increases the chance of pregnancy by ensuring that ovulation occurs. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, you can take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question.
