Can Ovulation Tablets Be Taken If Trying To Get Pregnant?

Hi, me and my wife have been trying for past 3 months to get her pregnant, but are unsuccessful. She was suffering from irregular periods, due to which she took medication for around 3 months before the last 3 months. We are thinking if she should take ovulation tablets....is it safe and does it have side effects. thanks

Infertility Specialist,  's  Response
Hi, I think she should be evaluated first. Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and a ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. If anything is abnormal, it can be treated. She can take some medicines for ovulation. There are some mild side effects, but otherwise it is safe. Better to take it under supervision of an infertility specialist. You can track the follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your wife every 2 to 3 days after periods stop. Progesterone will be given for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Hope I have answered your question.
