Be sure to let your doc know how the pills are making you feel. What kind of doctor is treating you - an OB/gyn, a reproductive endocrinologist?

Parlodel used to be given to help dry up breastmilk. I know it is prescribed to those who have problems conceiving and have a high prolactin level (the milk-producing hormone). Have you had blood tests run to check various hormone levels?

Is your doctor monitoring you for hyperstimulation? Is he examining you either manually and/or via ultrasound before prescribing more clomid each cycle? I sounds like your doc isn't explaining much to you.

Go to your local library and look up clomid/clomiphene citrate in the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) and see if the side effects match what you are experiencing.

Good luck to you.
