Studies show Clomid’s pregnancy success rate varies significantly for women with endometriosis. Factors like the severity of endometriosis, woman’s age, and duration of infertility influence outcomes.
Expectancy: While some studies report pregnancy rates between 10-20% per cycle using Clomid, others show lower rates. These figures are significantly lower than for women without endometriosis.
Important Note: These rates represent live birth rates, not necessarily successful pregnancies.
Factors impacting success: Advanced endometriosis, including deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), often reduces Clomid’s effectiveness. Age is another key factor; older women tend to have lower success rates with Clomid. Length of infertility also correlates negatively with Clomid’s effectiveness.
Alternative Treatments: If Clomid proves unsuccessful, other fertility treatments, including intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF), may be considered. Consult your doctor to determine the most suitable approach for your specific situation.
Monitoring: Close monitoring of ovulation and follicle development is essential while using Clomid. Regular appointments with your fertility specialist are crucial for optimal management and to assess response to treatment.
Consult your doctor: These statistics provide general information. Your individual circumstances and medical history dictate the likelihood of success with Clomid. A personalized assessment from your physician is necessary to determine the best course of action.
