Kim,
I can't give you my own person experience with Clomid as I've never used
it. But, I know of a woman who has Endo, one child and tried
desperately to conceive another baby. She went on Clomid and was
pregnant within a few months. She is considered 'high risk' because of
the Endo but she's doing fine.
Good Luck!

>Hi everyone. I've been fighting a sinus infection for a couple of weeks, and the antibiotic has caused a vaginal infection. So I went to my obgyn/surgeon yesterday for relief. In the consult after exam, I asked if the prescribed Metrogel or the infection itself would/could hinder fertility if I happened to ovulate by some miracle this cycle. He said most likely not, and then we revisited the fact that I'm not ovulating. He wrote me a prescription for Clomid for next cycle, 5 days worth, and gave me instructions. He told me that there is a risk it will aggravate the endo. He doesn't think the possible effects would be longterm, but perhaps something that would affect me for a couple of months. He also said this isn't something he wants to try month after month. I have very sporadic endo pain now. I have never had any endometriomas or other ovary-related problems. I have one child, so I know that I have ovulated in the past. But I've been using OPKs since September with no LH detection.
