HELLO MY HUSBAND AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONCEIVE AND NO SUCCESS. I HAVE BEEN ON CLOMID FOR FOUR MONTHS AND I AM OVULATING BUT STILL NOT PREGNANT. MY HUSBAND IS SCHEDULED TO HAVE A SEMEN ANALYSIS AND I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE A HSG AS WELL, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT WE CAN CONCEIVE
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns. It would have been nice if you had provided me some more information like your age, BMI, duration of marriage, regularity of menstrual cycles and whether baseline fertility hormone assay is done. Closed induces ovulation.  When used for 3-6 months, closed induces ovulation in 60-80% of women and about 30-40% of women who take closed become pregnant. Most pregnancies occur in the first 3 months of use. Usually closed is prescribed for 6 months. You should have done these baseline tests i.e. HSG and semen analysis before starting Closed.  Do not take closed until you get these tests done. To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three to four times in a week. Take a tablet of folic acid daily. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
