    Guys,

    hope someone can help us with this, myself and my partner are in the position that my partner needs to take a fertility drug to help us to have our first baby,

    We have medical cards and I'm wondering can we get clomid on the medical card as we just couldn't afford to pay for it.

    Its a very difficult subject in our home so anyone that can help us with details id be delighted to hear from you,


    Thanks

    Yes it's available to medical card holders. My first cousin is taking it at the moment. Best of luck!

    Well as far as I know she went to a consultant and did lot of tests. He then prescribed it and advised her doctor of this. She was then able to collect it at her local chemist. So I'm sure your doctor will advise you both.

    we had all the tests too, the clinic gave us the doc for the tablets but we were un sure do we contact out local doctor now or just go to the chemist

    Some hospital doctors prescribe themselves. So just show your own doctor what you were given and he will advise best course of action.
