Hi Everyone,
Has anyone here used unprescribed clomid to get BFP. If so what were some reliable sites? Clomid is now not covered by my new insurance which is a bummer. Can someone please help me?

My Ovulation Chart
I recently ordered from alldaychemist.com and they were much cheaper. I got a 4 months of Clomid (generic) and 4 months of Femara (generic) for around $40 total.
Both sites shipped from India and shipped EXACTLY the same Clomid so I'd recommend ADC. I'd also recommend ordering several months at once because it is a flat shipping fee and the actual meds are only a few dollars for a month's supply. In fact, I ordered a bunch and think we are taking a month off of meds because we ovulated naturally last month (while waiting for our package) and are hoping for the same thing again. Also, it took me over 3 weeks to get my package with both sites. I know that they both shipped right away but got stuck in customs for a while.

For starters, Femera is not FDA approved as a fertility drug. It is actually a breast cancer medication that it prescribed very frequently when women do not respond well to Clomid. Sometimes women do not ovulate on Clomid or they ovulate and the Clomid thins their lining thus making it difficult or impossible to conceive. From what I have seen, Clomid is generally tried before Femera though.
The biggest advantage to Femera is that it is much less likely to thin your lining than Clomid is. We have used Clomid 3 times with very good insemination timing and haven't gotten pregnant. We are thinking about using Ferara but are admittedly a little hesitant. Yes, we took Clomid unprescribed but were told by a OB that she would have prescribed it had we not been using a KD. (Seriously!!!!!) Obviously we are no longer using a KD but don't want to go back to this woman and found it easier to just buy Clomid online than seek out a new OB and get him/her to prescribe.

On the other hand this is my first month TTC in 13 years and clomid has totally screwed up my cycle. My swimmers are due back in two days and no smiley yet.
Go with your gut but be cautious and research your risks. If I overstimulate my ovary and end up loosing it, I know it is only a matter of time that I will loose it anyway.
My DP is a excellent TTC canidate unmedicated and very calm and at peace with the whole thing. I just long to carry a baby so bad. I have two months, if no luck then I hope she has first time luck again because we only have 7 vials left total. We love our Xander and will not try with another donor. So I will use 4, she gets three and we are risking it all.
I wish I had a Dr. to monitor via US etc.. however I am a SAHM by choice in a same sex relationship and my wife's job won't cover me on insurance so I have crapy insurance.
Very personal choice and I would think long and hard prior to making such a big decision.
Wishing you luck and quick.
