Clomid And Hormone Evaluations?

When you are faced with infertility you’ll try just about anything to get pregnant. I have just started researching clomid, even though I am usually very against drugs and unnessisary interventions. I found a few artciles that explained that infertility has to do with a hormone imbalance and clomid doesn’t treat the root of the problem and even may cause cancers later in life.
“Allopathic (conventional) medical thinking fails to look for or treat the root causes of women’s hormonal imbalances. For example, more young women today are experiencing infertility because they are not ovulating, yet they are being given fertility drugs like Clomid without comprehensive hormonal evaluations. Though these women often succeed in conceiving, they generally end up paying a price for short-sighted symptom management. The future health consequence is that other symptoms will appear and hormonal imbalance will progress”
that is a quote from one such article……my question is, is clomid really worth it if its not treating the root cause of the problem?
What do ya’ll think?

  1. Clomid makes me feel horrible… but if thats what it takes for me to have a baby then its worth it.

  2. WHETHER OR NOT CLOMID IS WORTH THE RISK IS A VERY PERSONAL DECISION. MY HUBBY AND I TRIED FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS. THE DOCTOR DECIDED THAT I WAS NOT OVULATING. I AM WITH YOU I REALLY DON’T LIKE THE IDEA OF MEDS TAKING OVER OR THE SIDE AFFECTS. WE DECIDED TO TRY IT ANY WAY. AFTER 2 CYCLES AND A LOT OF PRAYER I AM HAPPY TO SAY I AM ABOUT 4 WEEKS PREGNANT. THE DOCTOR DID WARN ME BEFORE HAND ABOUT THE RISK OF CANCER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT IS GREATER THE MORE DOSES YOU HAVE TO TAKE. SHE GAVE ME A LIMIT OF 4. THANK GOD IT ONLY TOOK 2 CYCLES.
    THE ONE SIDE AFFECT I REALLY NOTICED WAS I FELT WHAT SEEMED LIKE EXTREME PMS SYMPTOMS. THEY WERE WORST THE FIRST CYCLE AND GOT BETTER WITH THE SECOND.
    I WOULD PROBABLY DO IT AGAIN IF IT WAS NEEDED. BUT ONCE AGAIN YOU JUST HAVE TO WAY THE RISKS AND BENEFITS….
    ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF THE RISK OF CANCER GOES UP WITH CONTINUED USE…
    HOPE THIS HELPS
