Clomid for Low Progesterone: Is It the Right Choice?

Question
Hi,
I believe I am being put on clomid for the wrong reasons.  i have a progesterone level of 11 or 13.  i am assuming this means i ovulate.  I am 37 years old and have a 3 1/2 yr old natural delivery with no problems getting pregnant.  My Ob wants to see progesterone a little higher.  everything else has come out fine he says - blood work, postcoital, hysterosalpingogram, sperm analysis.  Is this a valid reason to prescribe clomid?

Answer
Tricia,
There is no reason why you can't try to get pregnant all on your own if that's what you choose. I would imagine your doctor is just trying to make things happen a little faster for you. Be aware of what you are taking. Clomid can put you at a higher risk for getting pregnant with multiples. If you are uncomfortable with this medication, there is no reason you have to take it. See how you do for a few months. You may change your mind if you don't get pregnant within a few months. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!!
