Dear Archie,

since 2 months i am taking clomid 200mg is it safe to continue for one more month? or there would be any side effects in future? i heard ovarian cancer chances r high with clomid high dose. with clomid the last whole month felt dry (vegina), i drink plenty of water to hlep to prevent dryness, so wt u suggest me archie i never diagonised with any fertility problem and i am taking metformin-500mg i read in website that medicine normally gives for PCOS, but my dr. didnt tell me that i hv PCOS, and i never hv any pcos symptoms...

so wt next step i should take? i am going to visit india in Dec. and thinking to go for IVF also...lets hope

thank u
luv

archie replied. Varsha,
believe it or not you need to know from Dr. why have you put on Metformin if you don't have PCOS?

clomid can be taken for six rounds. it's normally offered in a row. you may want to have ultrasounds done during menses to see any cysts.

can't tell about cancer possibilities as its individual aspect. Also clomid is known to lead to dryness. you should try to have your orgasm prior to semen ejaculation from your spouse. That way your vaginal environment will be sperm friendly, this is a tip.
