Will Missing Fertomid Tablets Cause Delay In Pregnancy?

Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Fertomid is a type of fertility medication used help to cause ovulation in women who have trouble getting pregnant. Because you did get pregnant (even though you had a miscarriage), unless you have been trying since then for over a year and been unable to conceive, the Fertomid medication will not likely increase your chance of pregnancy significantly. Therefore, even if you forgot to take some of the pills, you still have a significant chance of pregnancy as you are still very young, especially if you have regular menstrual cycles. If you and your husband have not been trying to conceive for more than a year on your own, I would not recommend using any fertility medication. Using Fertomid for more than four menstrual cycles can actually reduce your risk of pregnancy, as it decreases the effect of estrogen on your uterine lining. 80% of healthy couples will conceive within one year if they are having regular (at least 2 to 3 days per week) intercourse without contraception. One in 10 pregnancies will end in miscarriage, which means that 90% of the time couples will conceive a perfectly healthy pregnancy after a miscarriage without any form of medical treatment. So in summary, missing the Fertomid tablets this particular month will not likely affect your chance of conceiving this cycle if you already ovulate naturally. I strongly recommend trying to get pregnant naturally for one year before using any type of fertility medication, as your body has proven that you can conceive even though that pregnancy did not work out. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this additional information was helpful. Best wishes, Dr. Brown
