Hey Girls....
Doctor just put me on clomid... my testosterone was high and they said it would bring it down... has anyone ever heard of that? can having high testosterone cause me not to get pregnant? please help? what is clomid like? success stories?
I should be an expert but I am not. I have PCOS and my understanding is that it is linked to High testosterone levels. I believe that clomid increases estrogen levels so it would make sense that you doctor put you on that. I have been on clomid 3 different times, the first time I got pregnant after 4 months on it, I now have a 2 year old daughter. Early last year I was on it for 6 months and nothing, and now I am on it for my second month this time around. I know that if effects everyone differently. For me, I have a really difficult time on it. Not the first couple days but after a couple of days and then for the rest of the month. I get reallly nausiated, in the afternoons ( I am also on Metformin which might be a contributing factor). I also get hot flashes, and really bloated. I have heard of some people who have absolutely no side effects though, so good luck! I should also mention I am on a high dose 150mg.
thanks for the reply they were going to put me on Metformin but they said i needed to be carefull with it because i am so thin that it can actually cause me to loose weight and they do not want that so they put me on clomid. i dont have psoc i have always had normal periods neve missed a period never been on birth control or anything, i did start puberit late.... but now that i found out that my testosterone is high im wondering is that the reason i can not get pregnant?
Hi
I have mild PCOS (I don't ovulate on my own) so I have needed to take Clomid before for my second daughter. First daughter conceived on the pill. I only had to take 50 mg of Clomid for 1 month and BAM we were pregnant so obviously it worked very well for us. I have heard of many ladies talking about horrible side effects but I was very fortunate to not have a single one. I have to take the pill regularly to even get a period but plan to go off of it towards the end of July this summer and start Clomid in August to conceive baby #3. For pretty much since I started having periods they have been very irregular and I don't ovulate regularly which obviously is a problem when we want to have another baby. With Clomid there is a higher risk of twins, too so keep that in mind.

I was on 75 mg of clomid cd 6-10...I was starting to give up hope and get depressed, then the 3rd time it worked (with IUI). Keep your chin up...Good luck to you; I know your pain. I have high test levels too...
