Question : I am planning to start taking cytotec on sunday for missed miscarriage and scheduled for erpc by wednesday if nothing has started but then. Last time I experience this I didn't ovulate in the first cycle after miscarriage. My question is: can I take clomid straight after miscarriage treatment? i.e. after cytotec or after erpc. I want to try again asap.

Yes! You can take it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Yes! you can take clomid tablet after miscarriage but it is after two normal menstrual cycle or after two months of abortion.
I am giving you this advice because clomid only work when you are ovulating, if you are menstruating then you are ovulating.
I think I have answered your query, if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good Luck.
