In an interview with People magazine, starlet Helena Bonham Carter spoke candidly about her journey to become a second-time mother.
Bonham Carter, who is over 40, began taking Clomid as part of a fertility treatment, but did not respond favorably to the medication. From there, she tried alternative medicine, but still had no success.
After beginning to investigate IVF, Bonham Carter became pregnant naturally. However, she’s been quick to note that she would have turned to at least one round of IVF had she not received the good news.

If you’re a woman who is either seriously overweight OR underweight, you may want to get your diet in check before moving forward with fertility treatments.
Weight plays a definite factor in how well a woman’s body will respond to all types of fertility treatments, from Clomid to IVF. So it’s important to prepare if you predict that fertility treatments will be in your future.
How can you make sure your weight is in line? BMI is often used by physicians as a measure of how appropriate your weight is based on your height. While it’s not always perfect (if you have a lot of muscle mass or are unusually short or tall, the results can be skewed), it’s a good starting point.
Another measure can be just how you look and feel. Most people in the obese and underweight categories are aware that their bodies are out of proportion from where they should be. In this case, a diet and exercise regimen may be warranted.
As with all lifestyle change programs, it’s a good idea to talk with your family doctor first. Explain to him or her that you’re going to be considering fertility treatments and that you want your weight to be in your favor, not against you. Then, you can proceed as he or she suggests.

The term “hostile cervical mucus” may not be one you hear every day, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be a factor if you’ve been unable to naturally conceive a child.
All women have cervical mucus. What makes some cervical mucus “hostile” is its thickness. Typically, cervical mucus helps sperm pass through the cervix at various times during a woman’s ovulation. However, hostile cervical mucus prevents the sperm from travelling to the ovum. Thus, the chances of pregnancy reduce greatly.
Hostile cervical mucus can be caused by a number of factors, including:
- Poor nutrition
Over-the-counter and prescription medications
Use of Clomid
Abnormal sperm
Not enough estrogen
Fortunately, there are ways for physicians to help women counteract hostile cervical mucus, rendering the condition less problematic.
How do you know if hostile cervical mucus could be to blame for your infertility problems? Only a fertility specialist can tell for certain, so it’s important to make a call today.

 Warning!
There has been a noticeable increase in the number of advertisements trying to encourage individuals suffering from infertility to purchase medicines online ”without a prescription.” One of the biggies that’s mentioned again and again seems to be Clomid, but other drugs are named, too.
Please, please, please do not self-medicate for infertility concerns. Though it might be tempting to order “top of the line medicines” (and who’s to tell whether they really are or not?) without first obtaining a doctor’s assessment, it’s very dangerous.
Exercise good judgment and avoid treating your infertility at home or through drugs you order via the Internet. Sure, they might sound legit, but there’s no telling what they contain. Additionally, they might be the wrong dose or script for your personal situation.
As with any other medical issue, head to a physician rather than take the word of an advertisement or spam email. Don’t take a detour that could cost you time, money and, quite possibly, your health.
