Trying To Conceive For 2 Years, Aged 39. Recommendations?

Hello!!! I just went to see my GP & told her the last two visits, (about 2yrs), I have been trying to concieve. She says to get on clomid ASAP, but I am overweight & am concerned that it will be difficult to find someone to perscribe it. I have been losing weight, but turned 39 at the end of Feb. & can't wait any longer, I feel it is worth a try!!! Also, I do have a a son who just turned 19 and had no problems cocieving him, but age is no longer on my side... I'm desperate!!!!

Hi,
Thanks for the query.

If your cycles are regular ovulatory cycles,then no need to use clomid.
Clomid will help in inducing the ovulation only.
If your cycles are irregular, better to get evaluated for the cause for it. And take treatment accordingly.
Then if your doctor suggests you can go for clomid.
Maintaining ideal weight will help in regularization of the cycles and in fertility.
If your general health is normal, age may not affect the fertility much.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
