Expert: Scott Roseff, MD, FACOG - 5/12/2002


Question
I was wondering what some causes for an early period after taking clomid might be? I started on day 21. I was also wondering what the signs of miscarriage are? Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hi Becky,
Some causes of early bleeding on Clomid include, and aren't limited to:
a) Luteal phase defect caused by the Clomid;
b) Polyps;
c) Fibroids;
d) Undiagnosed pregnancy BEFORE starting Clomid; and
e) Cervical infection.

Discuss your early bleeding with your fertility specialist, as this is highly abnormal and should never be ignored!

Good luck,
Dr. Roseff, Director
