What happened next?

Our doctors at Seattle Reproductive Medicine (SRM) were great about trying to use the least expensive treatment to help us conceive. They started by trying to treat my husband's sperm count and motility. The prescription he was put on was Clomiphene Citrate, however our pharmacy filled the prescription wrong. A month later we realized that he was on a similar named medicine that is for treating OCD and depression. We were really lucky it didn't hurt him and that he didn't suffer any adverse side effects! Lesson learned ... ALWAYS read the packet you get from the pharmacy before you take the medicine to confirm it is used for purpose of which you are being treated! Long story short ... the medicine did not help his sperm count, in fact it dropped. Oh yeah and he had an allergic reaction to the proper medication. Ha, ha. Poor guy just can't catch a break! I love him for trying though. I guess there is a lot of controversy in the debate in what can really help to treat male infertility. It was worth a shot though!
