Very interesting. How do you know you don't have any eggs? Are you in menopause, have you been diagonsed or are you just guessing.

Clomid would NOT work for people with no eggs as chlomid stimulates the ovaries to produce more follicles on average just to speed things up for some couples. If the follicles do not contain eggs (or egg quality is poor), than ovulation will not take place. For example, a woman who is in menopause (used up all the eggs in her ovaries) will not benefit with clomid.

However, you still have the option of having an IVF with a donor egg. The sperm can come from your partner.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

No because Clomid stimulates the release of eggs / more eggs, so if you physically dont have any eggs, it wouldnt work.
