Anyone who’s been on Clomid

Is it absolutely necessary for hubby to get a semen analysis before your gyno prescribes clomid or were they willing to let your try it before a semen analysis?

I’m a week or so away from my period, my annual pap is on Monday & was going to ask for a script. We’ve been trying 11 months, if I get my period it’ll make a year. I’ve already had pre-conception bloodwork- all my hormones are normal. I’m not opposed to a semen analysis but our insurance doesn’t cover it so we’d have to wait until the holiday season is over before that can happen!
