My doctor just started me on Seraphene for my infertility problem.
Has anyone heard about it or used it? Results? Any info is welcome.
Thanks, Debbie

If I remember correctly, Seraphene is a brand name for Clomid ( I forget the technical name for Clomid). Basically, it's a drug to regulate ovulation. I was on Clomid for about 6 months to regulate ovulation and give me a longer luteal phase (I have a luteal phase defect) which is the part of the cycle after you have ovulated. It worked in the sense that I ovulated regularly, and my cycle did stretch out to a full 28 days, but I didn't get pregnant. Of course, not getting pregnant in my case didn't mean that the drug didn't work. They hadn't diagnosed my sperm antibody problem yet. Can you give some more details on what they've found if they are prescribing fertility drugs? And didn't the doctor explain to you what has been found (or not found) already when explaining why Seraphene was being prescribed? If not, you need to ask your doctor more about what's being done and why. If you give me some more details, maybe I can answer your question better. Regards, Cathy | |||||
