My dr. Prescribed for me both clomid and nolvadex at the same time, is that ok?

Sues212 posted:

Hi there, I had an early misscarIage back in may. My period is always irregular b4 and after the misscarriage. My last period was 6/23 and i didnt get it in july so i had a blood pregnancy test and it came back negative. In 08/04 i had one little blood spot n i thought it is my period but later that night the blood didnt come down, instead a very brown discharge.. I went to the dr. The next day N she said we'll take that as ur period n she prescribed for me both clomid and nolvadex. 100 mg clomid per day for 5 days and one pill of nolvadex for 7 days. Is that okay or what? Cuz i've been searching online n i found out that i should have a normal period "blood not brown discharge" so i can start taking clomid. Thanks all n i hope i get an answer

Joel Bernstien, MD responded:

If you are beyond the point of when you should have conceived based on last menstrual period... and you are given that it was 6/23.... then I think it is OK to start. Ultimately, it is your body and if you are not comfortable with it, then by all means, waiting for a more substantial period is not harmful at all.
