Buying Clomid online

I've just been looking at a website which sells the fertility drug clomifene citrate (often known by the brand name Clomid) direct online, and was shocked at how inappropriate the advice given about it was. I know that sometimes it can be tempting to decide that you'll boost your own fertility if your doctor doesn't seem keen to help and perhaps advises waiting a little longer before starting any treatment. Of course, it's frustrating to feel that you're being left in limbo, which can happen when you're stuck in the fertility maze - but that really doesn't ever make it a good idea to take matters into your own hands when it comes to taking fertility drugs.

The advice on this particular website only suggested seeking medical advice before taking Clomid if you had certain medical conditions - such as polycystic ovary syndrome. It should have insisted that anyone should seek medical advice before using a drug such as Clomid. It isn't appropriate for everyone and won't boost your fertility if you aren't in the category of women for whom it is suitable - mainly those with ovulatory problems. Women should be monitored when they are using it, and you should not use Clomid for longer than six months.

I can't stress enough how important it is not to go down the line of diagnosing and prescribing for yourself in this way. If you think you aren't getting the help you need from your doctor or specialist, get a second opinion, talk to a counsellor or a fertility support group but don't ever take fertility drugs that haven't been specifically prescribed for you without medical advice.
