Has anyone taken Clomid for luteal phase defect?
Saw a new Dr who thinks this may be the reason for my recurrent pregnancy loss. Anyone have experience with this? TIA

Re: Has anyone taken Clomid for luteal phase defect?
I was diagnosed by my ob/gyn with LPD. She put me on 50mg of Clomid for two months. For me, obviously, it didn't work. I didn't ovulate one month and the other month, my temps were all over the place the entire month.
The RE I just saw on Monday feels that a diagnosis of LPD is not very helpful because it doesn't really describe what the problem is - that it's a catch-all term. I've read though that clomid is usually the first step in trying to treat a LPD.
Not sure that's much help  Good luck!!

Thanks. I do ovulate on my own but he thinks I may not be maturing the egg enough? this contribuites to an inadequate lining which hinders implantation is the way I understand it. I am doing some diagnostic testing before going on it so I guess I'll see. thanks again.

I was ovulating on my own...until I took the clomid. go figure.
I have a friend who had a similar situation as yours - she took Clomid (I think the 150mg dose), was monitored VERY closely and then given the HCG shot to get her to ovulate on time, when the folicles looked ready.

I was prescribed Clomid with progesterone supplements for LPD. We did it for 6 cycles with no results. Now we are trying a few cycles with just the progesterone to see what happens.

Did your friend get PG?

Were you ovulating? Or did you have a problem with m/c?

She did eventually (actually she just had her baby a few weeks ago) but not on the clomid. she ended up doing IVF.
