Dear Kszachta,
I defence of Jennifer please don't take her advice too strong. She was
really just making a suggestion or pointing out a Possible problem.
It's hard to know Everything about each other from a post alone and IMHO
was trying to make a suggestion.

>>Jennifer, When I went to my doctor, I didn't have a crystal ball to let me know that I was going to be put on Clomid. I asked the doctor only questions about the things I have heard about it. I found out more after I got home. I was no longer at my doctor's to ask him. I asked him many questions, and also asked If there were any more side effects I hadn't mentioned, and he said no. Then I did find side effects he didn't mention. So before you call people passive, you should get the facts. Thank you
