Will Clomid help in conceiving?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 36 years old. I am trying to conceive, but my periods are irregular. In the past, I was never able to conceive with irregular periods. I do have children, but they were conceived when my cycles were normal. I do not feel like I have time to wait it out, though. I have been trying for a year now. I need to know if Clomid would be a good option for me.

Please explain.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your problem.

  1. Have you done any tests for your periods? If not, then you need to do the following blood test.
  2. Check your blood sugar, thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, AMH (anti-mullerian hormone), prolactin, testosterone, Hb (hemoglobin), total blood count, DC (differential count) levels, and ultrasound of the pelvis to see the cause of irregularity.
  3. You should also do a partner's semen analysis.
  4. Clomid (Clomiphene) can work only if your tests are normal. Anyway, considering the age, you may need assisted reproduction procedures, the type of which will depend on the reports.

For further information, consult an infertility specialist online.

I hope I answered your query.

Thank you.
