AnswerHello Martine,
I am shocked that you were able to get this medication without a prescription and/or doctor's order. You should not take medications without being under the care of a doctor, especially fertility drugs. They have side effects and adverse effects that could be dangerous to your health.
I would recommend that you see a fertility specialist and get taken care of appropriately. You will need an evaluation first to find out what is going on (it could be just ovulation problems) and undergo the appropriate treatment. Don't do it yourself.
