Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Ladies, I'm new here and was wondering if anyone took un prescribe clomid and got pregnant with twins, and if so which site did you order it from. Thanks

I've been pregnant twice with clomid, one prescribed, one unprescribed...lost both, one last year and this past June. I was very, very early with this last one, and if I weren't on clomid ( and therfore peeing on a stick obsessively) I wouldn't have know. The point is...it does work, and I know what's caused my miscarriages. It wasn't the clomid and I was just wondering if this thread was still open, and if there were updates from any of you here.***** Baby dust to you all ******

hi mama-bean, I think that some woman use clomid when not prescribed because they have been ttc for so long with no luck and they think this will help. But instead it makes them sick and still no luck..

I am considering u/p Clomid because I am 45 and my OB-GYN just flat out refused it to me despite the fact I got pregnant on it at age 42 on 50 mg, two cycles. Anyway, I am debating as to whether to buy some at the medmex place online or go to the free garage site and buy leftovers. Anyone have any advice? I've done the research. Of course, it is illegal, but Clomid is not a highly controlled substance like some folks have posted . . . there are many sites like medmex who do not sell controlled substances (pain pills, xanax, etc.) because these sites get closed down, at least the US ones do. If you do a Google search on "black market" plus "fertility drugs" there are some news reports on ABC, I believe, as recent as last year. The DEA admitted they are aware these sites exist, but turn a blind eye to them, and do not monitor the fertility drug sites . . . and won't until something drastic happens to someone. The fertility black market (as they call it, making it sound like heroin) has been going on for years and prosecution is rare. The DEA has much bigger issues on it's hands. I've never heard of anyone getting arrested for buying Clomid online or from a friend. Not to date anyway. I have heard of folks getting in trouble buying things like Xanax or Lortabs online and even then, it is rare . . . they often seize the packages at customs and you get a letter. Usually they go after the rogue pharmacies, not the consumer, but someone who buys large quant_ties of benzos or steroids is putting themselves at risk. I wouldn't buy a controlled substance and take that chance. But . . . millions of people every day buy these schedule IV drugs, it is so hard to track, so I guess things like Clomid and Viagra slip through the cracks. I am just presenting this as informational, BTW. Now of course there are safety issues, but I have hear nothing but good things about medmex, and there is another one, sharpmeds.com. I think they tried to shut down medmex one time, but she is still operating. I just don't think a DEA agent is going to show up at your door for one small package of Clomid, but who knows. Anyway, I am undecided at this point as to whether or not to actually do it, but I did want to clarify some things I read. Food for thought and debate.

Peg, you should find a new OB or preferably RE. Your age alone makes you a candidate. Good luck!

Quite frankly, I don't have the time or the money to search around for a new OB and an RE is not going to be covered by my insurance. Alot of DR do not give Clomid to 40+ women, but it worked just great for me. My problem was low progesterone, and the Clomid gave me that "extra boost" I needed. Sure, I worry about twins (my OB said it was a 5-10% chance, and I think she said more like 5%) but for most of us, it is almost impossible to get pregnant at all, period. But my post was to point out that Clomid is not considered a controlled substance. I have read somewhere that you can actually go into Mexico and buy small amounts of certain drugs (not controlled) for personal use and get through customs with them. Just something I've heard, may no longer be the case.

Hello ladies, I know this thread is old but I am looking for help. I am wondering if anyone has been sucessful with n/p clomid? I am unsure of these online drug distributors. How do you know if you are getting what you order?

deedee03, that's just the thing.. You don't know what you're getting. IMO it's too much of a risk, I mean if someone walked up to me on the street and said , "here take this aspirin" even if it looked just like an aspirin and I saw him take it out of an aspirin bottle, think I'd take it? nope. Also, from what I've seen from this forum (been here about a year now) not too many of the ladies who take u/p meds are successful. Most end up seeing an RE anyway. Clomid is a great drug BUT it will only work if your specific problem is one it was designed for. There are so many fertility issues that clomid will not work for, or will actually hinder conception further. Not worth the trouble IMO.

Thanks freebird. Its not so much the drug that bothers me though. I have endometriosis and I have had laproscopic surgery to remove it. I was told that it does come back. I have already suffered one ectopic pregnanacy and two miscarriages. I am almost to the point of being desperate. I am 29 and I know I don't have alot of time left. I know that I do not ovulate regularly and I feel as if this is my best option. I have had a bit much of the doctors "cashing" inn on my sorrows. Can I get some more feedback please?

The other think I've learned in the past year from this forum is that if someone has their heart set on the u/p route it is difficult to dissuade them. Personally, I do feel that it is a mistake (for anyone) and that you would have much better results with a good reproductive endocrinologist. OB's IMO do not treat infertility well and for real results you need to see an RE. Just my $0.02, do with it what you will.

I just got hold of some. I am only going to take 50 mg u/p. . . I am not going higher than that unmonitored. I got pregant on 50 mg last time, and it caused my progesterone to rise, but she never even gave me an u/s on that low of a dose.

I am sorry for the triplet moms on Clomid, but it really isn't that common at all and SOMEONE has to fall into the 1%. Thousands of single babies are born each year on Clomid. For an infertile mom to try Clomid, what is so selfish about that? Maybe you are referring to the women who are not infertile and just want twins? I hope so because for alot of us, our only shot at ovulation is through Clomid. My OB doesn't even monitor infertile women on low doses as the odds are 5% for twins and we are lucky to concieve one baby.

These forums, as far as I know, are for women looking for support during pregnancy. I am pregnant with b/g twins on clomid (prescribed due to unexplained secondary infertility), and these sites are just scarey. What's the point of putting such horrible things on here- judgement, to scare people, what? You are far from all-knowing; infact, I'm sure, in most of these women's obsession, they've done more reasearch than most of us who just listen to doctors blindly. Women will do what they want, and they shouldn't have to worry about stranges, who clearly have too much time on their hands- by the amount of judgemental posts on these sites by certine people, who could and should spend more time with their own children and less time condemming others, pretending like they're only concerned, but obviously taking great pleasure in bringing others down, judging them. One of my sisters (also suffering from infertility issues) has clomid triplets, and they were born at 32 weeks; they are perfectly healthy, well behaved, easy children. She also just had a singleton. I have two (nearly 3 years apart), and she had/has a much easier time, as mine have certain health issues. My first was very unhealthy; it can happen to anyone- singleton or multiples, but there are also very easy, healthy HOM even. Having a baby is a risk. I don't believe it matters if clomid is prescribed or not- especially with a good reason, such as insurance not covering infertility and a woman has done her research. As for the people who are taking clomid to conceive multiples, why do you care. The risk of multiples is there whether you have infertility issues or not, whether one is taking it prescribed or unprescribed, and it's a small percentage. Why did the judgers on here risk it? I hope no one said to any of you, "Just because you're infertile, you are going to risk your potential childrens lives by possibly having multiples on a fertility drug?!" I've read a lot of "Be thankful that you can have children naturally.", but the judgement is pa__sed by women who couldn't be thankful for what they were given to work with. A lot of people would say adopt if you can't have children naturally (I don't believe that makes anyone with fertility issues feel very good, me included.), but, in the end, it's your choice, and their choice, and hopefully none of you had to endure such judgement. I had some clomid left over, and I gave it to my younger sister (shoot me- lol!) because she has been trying to conceive with her husband since before they were married- unsuccessfully, and she now too has found out that she is six weeks along with twins. She knew it was a risk (Plus, multiples run on my mother's side heavily- nearly every female), but she wanted children- desperately, and I'm sure most of you know what that feels like. Her husband earns a good living, but what's the point of paying for something that you can get for free (or cheap)? They have awesome insurance, she plans to stay home- as a full time mommy, and they are homeowners with plenty of room, money, and, more importantly, love. My older sister, nor myself, were monitored by a doctor (prescribed, but not monitored), so what's the difference? Plus, it's safe to a__sume that she had the same issuses as us- wer'e sisters. There are far worse things going on in the world (world hunger, war, global warning...- pick one of those to commit to instead- lol!), and far better thing to do with your time (clean, play with your children, bake cookies... pick one from here also). God knows these women's hearts, and what they can handle. He also knows you. Let him be the judge; that's the way it will end up anyway. Walk a day in someone elses shoes, and quit being so prideful; it's not necessary. God bless you all, and may you hold your dreams close to your heart, no matter what they are. Please educate yourselves, and make informed decisions. Pray for your "enemies"; clearly they need it. Baby dust to all. By the way, I hope your children don't end up as judgemental as you; it always scares me that I'm raising my children at the same time in a world where people like some of you are raising yours also. Lots and lots of sticky baby dust!

By the way, reguarding the "I care (HA!), and it's dangerous to order from other countries; you don't know what you're getting.", pharmacies mess up too. I'm deathly allergic to penicillin, and I got a prescription for K-flex, and that's what the bottle said, but it was, infact penicillin; I nearly died. Everything is a risk, some more than others, but everything is a risk. This is the last I will post on here; I'm going to find a suportive site. Just try being less judgemental; you'll be a happier person.

Wow, I'm guessing the 'You don't know what you're getting' comment was directed at me. The problem I have with people promoting the u/p use on these forums is that none of these women are doctors and no matter how much research you've done, it's important to get diagnosed. If you have blocked tubes, Clomid is not going to help you. If you have severe male factor, clomid is not going to help you without being used in conjunction with some other treatment. Sorry, but you can't compare a legitimate pharmacy mixup with ordering prescribed drugs online from a foreign pharmacy. I don't think that trying to get women to THINK a little more about what they're doing is a bad thing. Just because something works for one person doesn't mean it will work for someone else and anyone going through IF needs to be diagnosed by a professional before just starting treatment on their own.
