Epilepsy, ttc, and clomid questions.... (personal)
Thu, 06/02/2016 - 15:05Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hi, I'm 45 and have had epilepsy since I was 9. Have been married for 21 years and only now has my dr given the "ok" to start ttc (I have been on depakote for over 30 years and am finally off of it as of 5 months ago. We started trying about 5months ago but for the past few months I have not been ov. Now I am thinking about asking my ob about clomid, but am concerned about the side effects and possible interactions with the med I am on. (Dilantin) Has anyone had experience with taking both dilantin and clomid ? Does anyone know of any alternatives to clomid ? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
