Clomid is generally suitable for women with ovulation disorders, such as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), anovulation (lack of ovulation), or unexplained infertility. It’s also an option for women with low sperm counts in their partners, as Clomid can improve egg quality and increase the chance of fertilization.
However, Clomid isn’t a universal solution. Doctors typically recommend it for women aged 25-40 who haven’t conceived after at least a year of trying. Women with significantly low ovarian reserve, severe endometriosis, or uterine abnormalities may not benefit from Clomid and require alternative treatments.
Your age plays a significant role. Clomid’s effectiveness decreases with age, and its use is generally limited in women over 40 due to higher risks. Pregnant women or women with liver or kidney disease should avoid Clomid.
Before starting Clomid, your physician will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. This assessment includes blood tests, pelvic exams, and possibly other imaging tests to pinpoint the exact cause of infertility and assess your overall health.
Remember to discuss any pre-existing health conditions, medications you’re currently taking, and personal medical history with your doctor, as these factors may influence treatment suitability.
