So in doubt, since the fear of having twins was big—even though it would be a blessing—two small babies for me alone to care for would have been a bit much at that moment. Talking to a friend, she told me God wouldn’t give me a heavier burden than I could handle, and that I should give it a try. So I bought the medication, took it, and three days later I started feeling pain in my lower abdomen. I felt pain on both sides at the outer parts of my belly and was very sensitive, even when sitting down.
I went to the doctor’s office, and he explained to me that the pain was normal. I just shouldn’t have any heavy bleeding, but otherwise, it was a sign that the medication was working. Of course, I was happy, and he told me to really focus on the “training” (the worst part of the story—so boring! Lol). After 29 days, I had strong cramps and my period came as usual. I repeated the treatment for another 2 months and didn’t get results.
Every month I used the inducer, I had this feeling of bloating. I stopped taking the medication, and then my husband went to do some tests to check if the problem was with him, since I had taken the inducer and it hadn’t worked as the doctor had expected, since we were a young couple. After several tests, it was found that my husband has varicocele and that getting pregnant at that time would be more difficult1.
We got discouraged, because besides the varicocele and another problem he had at the time, surgery would be necessary. So for professional reasons, we decided to postpone it. Yes, I got pregnant a year and a half later, naturally, even though he never had surgery for the problem. I came to the conclusion that the inducer works very well—it just needs to be closely monitored by a doctor, since we know it can cause hemorrhagic cysts in the ovary2. Pay attention and never take medication without a doctor’s supervision.
