Question Hello I am 23 and currently trying to become pregnant though AI. I do at home insemination each cycle though a sperm bank in Washington. I heard before that each woman should still have a %20 chance each month which is the same as a normal couple. I have normal cycles and do AI at 24 and then again at 36 hours past my positive OPK. My question though is I've had two cycles that did not work and this cycle my doctor decided to put me on 50mg of Clomid for days 3-7. I know there is no set answer but I was wondering if you opion how much does Clomid improve your chances of becoming pregnant? Would it be like %25 or %30? Does it even increase the chances much for someone like me who does ovulate and has regular cycles? What are the chances that more then one egg was released? Again I know there is no set answer and each person is different and any number of possibles can happen so I was just wondering in general more about Clomid.
Answer how much does Clomid improve your chances of becoming pregnant? Would it be like %25 or %30?
Maybe 5-10% and only if you are taking 3000mg of omega-3 fish oil four times a day for at least 3 months to improve your egg quality and the same with your partner's sperm quality.
Does it even increase the chances much for someone like me who does ovulate and has regular cycles? You should be effective with the above.
What are the chances that more then one egg was released? always more risk of multiple pregnancies with these drugs
