[QUOTE="-Artemis-, post: 1266796, member: 89325"] Hi.... re your blood sugars, I'm not sure what clomid actually does - but generally estrogen makes us more insulin sensitive and progesterone more insulin resistant - which is why, generally, as women we can see big swings in the amount of insulin we need depending on where in our cycle we are. So I would guess the clomid is interfering with the balance of that... but I've not taken it so it's only a guess. ... I also mentioned 'generally' as a whole bunch of other factors effect women's hormones - from taking the pill, to stress, to things like pcos etc... are they giving you clomid to regulate your hormones do you know? I'm a little older and had been trying for 2 years and suspect my hormones were starting to go a little 'lala' - and someone recommended something called Maca to me... which I took - and I'm now pregnant.... who can say if the two are linked - and it may not be suitable for whatever your docs are working with you on anyway - but I thought it worth a mention as an option for you to google...: ) [/QUOTE]
