I ovulate on 21st day. Will Clomid help me to get pregnant?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have been trying for a baby for the past two years. I have irregular periods and unpredictable ovulation. I have been to multiple doctors about this problem, and I have been told my reproductive system looks normal, and I only ovulate if I reach my 21st day in my cycle, which is very rare. However, they refuse to help me as I am 18 years old and I am not a high priority.

I have been looking into fertility medication and was wondering what the risks would be if I treated myself with Clomid? I know this would be frowned upon by general doctors, but it has started to affect my relationship, and I am starting to give up on having my own family. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

First of all, at 18 years of age, you are contemplating pregnancy, which is actually unfair to your own body. A woman's reproductive system matures completely by 20 years of age. You do not need to use Clomid or any ovulation-inducing drug simply because your follicles are ovulating, yes, but on day 21, so what? That makes your cycle slightly longer, say 45 days. But this may be normal for you.

Do not compare your cycles with others. Doctors are skeptical about helping you with infertility drugs simply because you are just 18 years old, and you may harm yourself more than benefit from it by using the drugs.

I suggest one simple method. Maintain a menstrual calendar for three months, use the Ova-kit (home-based test) to time your ovulation during cycles, and then practice timed intercourse for the next seven days of ovulation. Your chances of getting pregnant would be higher then.

I am sure you shall succeed with this technique. But please do not contemplate infertility treatment presently.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
