Hi Dr. Braun,
I read your answer to this question and now I have one too. I am on
Clomid every month to help me to ovulate and get pregnant..so far
unsuccessful. I have gained a few pounds though and am now wondering if
it's due to the Clomid?? You said Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome can
cause growth...even if your not pregnant but on Clomid? Thank you very
much.
