[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks guys. For the people asking why, I already stated the cost is 2 orders of magnitude more.
[b]If OBGYNs are fine administering clomid unmonitored[/b] (and we had success with it) I'm not sure what the monitoring on a drug that has a statistically less likely chance of multiples is all about. That's why I'm looking for OBGYNs or not REs who prescribe it.[/quote]

The good ones absolutely are not okay with doing that, nor should they be. There is a lifetime limit on taking clomid, to prescribe it without monitoring is reckless and stupid [/quote]

Actually, there's not a "lifetime limit." It's all about whether or not purely ovulating is your issue. If you ovulate on clomid, you'll most likely always ovulate on clomid. If you don't get pregnant while ovulating on clomid after so many times (anywhere from 3-12 it appears, depending on the study and your doctor), then there are other issues at play outside of ovulation.

Granted, you can't take clomid every month for the rest of your life as there are studies (though poorly executed) that indicate an increased risk of breast or ovarian cancer with continued use of clomid. [/quote]
