| 1 | unexplained infertility | I have finished 3 month course of clomid. my tummy is extremely swollen with no discomfort. I attended A&E during the week with abnormal menstrual bleeding which lasted for 24 hrs. doctor though it was a side effect of taking clmid. | I would not like to take clomid in the future. bleeding was scarey and i also suffered cramps in my left leg, very painful. I have had one child and two miscarriages in the past 11 years. I wud dearlylove more children. | F | 34 | 5 days 50 g 1X D | 7/3/2010 | 4 | Trying to conceive | I noticed a decrease in vaginal lubrication, but used fertility-friendly lubricant to compensate. Before clomid, I had often experienced brief sharp pains and mild cramping when I ovulated - I noticed the same thing continued and was slightly more painful in a cycle where I took clomid. I now experience some brief mild cramping in the days leading up to ovulation, and then some sharp pains when I ovulate. They're uncomfortable, but brief. I personally don't mind because that means I can tell it's working. | I haven't had any mood side effects whatsoever and otherwise feel completely fine taking it. | F | 35 | 5 days 50 1X D | 7/2/2010 | 3 | unable to conceive after a year | I was too chicken to take the entire 50mg and even at this low dose, the s/e were tough going (exxxtreme cramps, mind-blowing anger and cryfests, headaches and just generally feeling spacey and "off") Am at CD23 and because of what I'm experiencing now, am pretty sure that my period is just around the corner (5 days early!!!), although of course the stupid dummy in me is once again hoping that maybe just maybe .... | Despite the side effects (really creepy & gross), I will take a regular dose next month...but honestly, I doubt I would venture any higher than 50mg (Meds and me - not a good mix). I am also 40 - 10 yrs past my personal "deadline" - and I'm not so sure it's wise to push fertility too far past its "unprocessed" demise. But that's just me. Would love to communicate with others (in my age-group especially!) who are going through this emotionally taxing experience (argh). | F | 40 | 5 days 25mg 1X D | 6/30/2010 | 3 | TTC | I am currently on my first cycle of Clomid. Everything has been fine until now. I ovulated, and I now am in a lot of pain. Its beyond cramps, and it hurts to sit up straight, and it gets worse as the day goes on. The pain did hit a peak two days ago and starting to tapper off, but its still dehabilitating. I have endometriosis and believe that the Clomid is making it work. Getting pregnant is a great way to help with endometriosis, so i am looking forward to that. | I only produced 2 follicles on my left ovary which was disappointing since I do that on my own. I am hoping the other postive effects of Clomid helps me conceive. | F | 28 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 6/30/2010 | 5 | TTC | I was taking the pills days 5-9 of my cycle, I noticed a longer than normal menstrual period and was somewhat more emotional than usual. Those were the only side effects that I had WHILE taking the med. Later in my cycle I experienced extreme cramping and tenderness internally which only lasted one day; discomfort during sex one time - felt as if everything inside and out was swollen and tender. I've had swollen and tender breasts, heavy breasts, frequent urination, fatigue, and bloating, possible weight gain, and I have been more emotional than usual for this time in my cycle. | We are hopeful that these are symptoms of early pregnancy and not necessarily side effects of Clomid. We should know for sure within a week, in which case I will update my review. UPDATE - positive pregnancy test on first round of Clomid after 8 years of unexplained infertility. I'm a fan! | F | 37 | 5 days 50 mg 1X D | 6/29/2010 History | 4 | Unexplained Infertility | The first round my body temperature was slightly elevated and I had crazy dreams with lack of sleep. This time around I'm not having any symptoms what so ever! This is definately tolerable! | I did my research and only found negative comments, no one usually posts the good things. Just remember if you have a 10% chance (or whatever % chance) of getting the side effects, there is a 90% chance you won't! | F | 32 | 5 days 100mg 1X D | 6/28/2010 | 4 | to ovulate and conceive | hot flashes, weight gain, dizziness | This is my second month on Clomid. Last month took it, but did not ovulate by the 21 day range when I had a bloodtest. Around the 22-24 day of my cycle, had really bad pain on right side and think i ovulated then. Not sure why it was about a week later than its supposed to be on this medication. | F | 28 | 5 days 100MG 1X D | 6/23/2010 | 2 | TTC | I am on my 4th cycle of clomid - the first 3 I was prescribed 100/mg per day for 5 days. After 3 unsuccessful cycles, my OB/GYN increased my dosage to 150 mg/day for 5 days. I have had what I believe to be, several side effects which include: hot flashes, moodiness - cry at the drop of a pin, extreme fatigue, VISION problems, cramping/pain in the areas of my ovaries, bloating/weight gain, decreased CM, increased appetite and frequent urination. | My hubby and I have been trying to conceive since we got married (8 months ) - actually, we weren't really preventing it before either. I am almost 40 and have never been pregnant...and am getting very worried. I thought Clomid would be the answer for me...but so far it's not. I've already finished my 4th cycle of clomid, but have a call into my OB/GYN re: my symptoms. I'm nervous that he didn't want to see me after the first 3 months - he just prescribed me a higher dose. Funny...they tell us (all who are TTC) to not be stressed, to not worry or be anxious - but how is that possible with everything we have to keep track of, think about, deal with? | F | 39 | 5 days 100-150 1X D | 6/23/2010 | 3 | unexplained infertility | My first month (on 50 mg) I really suffered from intense exhaustion for a few days after taking Clomid and around ovulation, tenderness around the ovaries, crazy dreams. Month 3 and I've been bumped up to 100mg and (this may or may not be related) my legs have gone numb from the knees down (on the front) and I gained an exceptional 3kg in 4 days, which has (thank God!) started to disappear again. Doc thinks maybe it's like carpal tunnel syndrome of the legs, brought on by the extra Estrogen. It certainly feels like I'm about 8 months pregnant! | My fertility doctors can't believe I'd be having these side effects on these drugs but nothing else has changed. I am ovulating though and produced 2, then 1, then 3 good follicles. Fingers crossed! | F | 38 | 5 days 50mg/100mg 1X D | 6/22/2010 | 2 | Unexplained infertility | Some weight gain (3lb or so), bit more emotional. Breasts actually LESS sore than they would be normally. | This is my 2nd month on it. Really hoping it works, but not optimistic at the moment | F | 32 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 6/11/2010 | 2 | Infertility | Bloating, constipation, weight gain, headaches, EXTREME fatigue, moodiness, very emotional | After a year of trying I still had not gotten pregnant. My cycles have always been VERY irregular/borderline nonexistent, so my GYN ordered pelvic US and labs and determined that I was a candidate for clomid. Last month I took Clomid 50 mg daily for five days starting on the third day of my surgery, but I did not get pregnant. For the first cycle of Clomid I only had one side effect-- headaches. Tomorrow I will finish my fifth and final dose of 100 mg. I have been bloated, nauseous, experienced weight gain, been very emotional and moody, and had headaches every day. I hope and pray that we get pregnant this month-- I really don't know if I can do another cycle of the Clomid next month!! | F | 28 | 5 days 50/100 1X D | 6/3/2010 | 3 | TTC | nothing! | I was put on 50MG days 3-7 on my first try and didn't ovulate. No side effects at all..AT ALL. This time around i am taking 100MG days 3-7 and i feel a little sick for the first few hours after taking it..but nothing that i can't handle. i've never been pregnant before and have been trying to conceive for the last 6 months. It hasn't been a long time compared to a lot of you...but other than the fact that i'm not ovulating, i'm very impatient! good luck to everyone! | F | 24 | 5 days 100MG 1X D | 5/26/2010 | 2 | TTC | The first time I recieved clomid was in March 2010 the doctor started me on provera to help me get a period which i took for 10 days due to irregular periods then i waited until the third day to start the 50mg of clomid, had pains in my side like knives penetrated inside me a few days after the last pill of clomid. Had pregnancy like symptoms such as vomiting, feeling bloated and tired but when I went to see if anything happen the doctor told me I didn't ovulate so I waited until my period was due and there was nothing the test was negative. | Was prescribe provera for 10 days plus 100mg of clomid for 5 days that I started in April 2010 about two weeks ago and so far I have tender breast but waiting on my blood test results I took yesterday on day 21...so really not sure if it's going to work. I have been trying to get pregnant with my husband for 4 years naturally but no success so hopefully clomid works. I might try one more time if it doesn't work this time. My dr. will prescribe metformin + 100mg of clomid together and see what happens. | F | 28 | 5 days 50/100mg 1X D | 5/19/2010 | 4 | Irregular Cycles | Only physical side effects were bloating and a shorter period, however emotional side effects were greater, feeling really "low" or just random thoughts of sadness and easily brought to tears | First time Clomid user. I'm only on Day 9 of my cycle, started testing today and my LH hormones are high, (my average cycles are 35-40 days long, I usually ovulate on Day 17-19-if I ovulate at all, so I'm never 'high' this early in my cycle) so this is a good sign that the drug is doing what it's supposed to, I'm still feeling a bit more emotional/foggy then usual, but it's hard to tell whether it's the medication or just the frustration of going through such a long process to get pregnant. I'll post again after this cycle to tell whether I ovualted earlier then normal | F | 26 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 5/17/2010 | 4 | late ovulation | moodiness during the 5 days i took it, some increased tiredness. actually increased CM instead of decreasing it. | still have 5 days before i can test accurately (or i'm trying to wait). have tested twice at 9 and 10 dpo and both negative. | F | 25 | 5 days 50 mg 1X D | 5/9/2010 | 2 | To ovulate | Hot flashes, headache, constantly hungry, mood swings | F | 22 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 5/8/2010 | 4 | unexplained infertility | This is my first month on Clomid, and when I was taking the pills I didn't have any side effects. But a week after I went home crying from work and was irritable and sad for several hours. (My husband cheered me up!) Then a few days later I developed a huge pimple on my face. It was so big it made my eye swollen and part of my nose! I went to the dermatologist to get it treated. I ovulated yesterday, this I know because of the positive ovulation test and the tremendous cramping. This morning my extremely painful breasts woke me up early. They hurt soooo badly. I've never felt anything like that before! The pain subsided by late afternoon but I'd still call them extremely tender. | I can't wait to see what side effect happens next! I sure hope I'm pregnant because I'm scared of the pain next month. | F | 39 | 5 days 50 1X D | 5/6/2010 | 2 | Husband low sperm count | Night sweats, headaches, nausea and ovary pain. | Prescribed clomid after husband was diagnosed with low fertility. Am on 3rd month and had appt with consultant today but he won't tell me results of blood test until 4mths time! Disgusted that this is my only option and not happy about being on this drug. Was told by GP that side effects were a virus! Only taking this batch then stopping as not happy with tablet OR medical treatment thus far. No children and getting old (37) so not happy! :( | F | 37 | 3 months 50mg 1X D | 5/5/2010 | 4 | UNEXP INF - SHORT LUTEAL PHASE | This is my firt round with Clomid. So far these are the effects: 1st Day with Clomid: Headache and Hot Flashes. Nausea, Ovary Pain and Headache after my ovulation. I have a short luteal phase. (Usally 12 DPO) Today I am in 13 DPO and I am waiting to test or have my period. To minimize the effects of Clomid I have been doing Acupunture and Exercise. | I don´t have PCO´s so my doctor recommended to go with 3 cycles on clomid. Crossing my fingers! | F | 35 | 5 days 50 MG 1X D | 5/2/2010 | 4 | low progesterone | It's quite cruel isn't it? You get pregancy symptoms while trying to conceive. I am only on my first round, and at 50 mg, the doctor confirmed that I ovulated. So, I will not have to up it. However, I have had nausea, fatigue, cramps, and bloating. | The woman with the doctor that won't test her for 3 months, might consider finding a new one. I had a blood test after my first round. My doctor wanted to know immediately if the 50 mgs worked. He also requires I come in once a month while on clomid to check for swollen ovaries, etc. | F | 37 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 4/25/2010 | 3 | o help with ovulation | extremely weepy and emotional. headaches and tired all the time | i finished taking clomid two days ago. i hope this works bc these side effects are aweful | F | 28 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 4/24/2010 | 3 | hormone inbalance | This will be my third cycle of taking 50mg of Clomid which I take on days 3-7 of my cycle (which are 26 day cycles since I have been on Clomid, when I am not on clomid they are 28 days.) I had crazy hot flashes and night sweats (I would wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. I only had the hot flashes and night sweats on the days I was taking the pill. I had nipple tenderness a couple days after ovulation, and really sore breasts during my period. | This is my third cycle on clomid, and it has made me ovulate every time I have taken it so that is promising (I know this for fact because I invested in the Clearblue Fertility Monitor which I highly recommend.) I totally recommend this to anyone who has ovulation problems..sadly my doctor believes I probably have Endometriosis so if this cycle of clomid does not get me pregnant I will have surgery in May to correct that issue. | F | 23 | 3 months 50mg 1X D | 4/22/2010 | 5 | TTC | Lower back pain during ovulation. | I thought I would share a success story to those out there who, like me, are frustrated with the conception process. Month one, I was on 50 mg Clomid and it didn't do anything. Months two and three I was on 100 mg Clomid and I had some lower back pain, but did not conceive. Month 4 I took 100 mg Clomid again, used the Clear Blue Easy Ovulation predictor kit (digital), and finally conceived! I am still very early on in my pregnancy but am SO excited that the Clomid worked!! | F | 27 | 5 days 100 mg 1X D | 4/20/2010 | 3 | To get pregnant/infertility | Side effects thus far and most occur a few days after taking Clomid for me, not during: pain/numbness in hamstring part of legs (not certain from clomid), major mood swings, slight headaches, dizziness, weird dreams/insomnia, lot of cramping in ovaries, gas. | Cycle 1: 50 mg days 5-9--had miscarriage. Cycle 2 (taken 2 months after miscarriage) 50mg days 3-7 no ovulation. Cycle 3 of Clomid took 100 mg days 3-7--no ovulation as of day 15 doctor had me take 100mg again days 15 & 16. Also ordered insulin/glucose test now to see if PCOS is a possibility. | F | 32 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 4/20/2010 | 3 | PCOS ovulation issues | 50MG: Severe mood swings, panic attacks, hot flashes, headache. 100 MG Round 1: Gas, Ovulation cramps, moderate mood swings, tender breasts. 100 MG Round 2: Nausea and vomiting, gas, extreme abdominal bloating, extreme Ovarian pain, visual trails and floaters, feeling of poor circulation in legs. | Has Clomid made me ovulate? Yes. Has it helped me get pregnant? Not yet... The side effects have been so wild I am actually considering taking a break next month if I don't get pregnant this round. I find it odd that every month I have different side effects. | F | 29 | 5 days 100 MG 1X D | 4/16/2010 | 4 | recurrent miscarriages | Headaches and sleepiness starting from the first pill, they went away immediately as soon as I finished the last pill. Mild hot flashes and night sweats a few days after finishing. Some cramping on CD 11 and 12 (ovulation pain). Slight drying of CM, but mucinex helped a great deal. Nothing major. | We got pregnant with my son with no problems, and have gotten pregnant very easily two times since, but both ended in miscarriage (6wks and 4wks), possibly due to low progesterone or poor egg maturity. Doctor said to give Clomid a try...now we're on the 2ww! | F | 24 | 5 days 100 mg 1X D | 4/12/2010 | 5 | To become pregnant under supervisiom | Just fatigue and occassional moodiness. | Successful results. I would highly recommend it. | F | 42 | 5 days 200 mg 1X D | 4/8/2010 | 3 | not ovulating | extreme nausea, visual symtoms/dizziness,hot flashes,slight cramps, moody | I just finished taking my 2nd month of Clomid. The first month was fine with no side effects and also no ovualtion. I took my last pill for the 2nd month 6 days ago. I dont know if I have ovulated yet and my doctor wont monitor me until after the 3rd month to see if I ever had :( For the last few days, I have had nausea when I wake up and thats about it. Today it has gone on off and all all day and I cant even eat without feeling sick. Hopefully it means something good. We will see. :) | F | 26 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 4/7/2010 | 1 | not ovulating | weight gain, anxiety, moodiness, back and ovary pain during ovulation, pain with intercourse | Sever anxiety around ovulation with Clomid. And I am FAT -- normally really thin, I have gained a significant amount of fat around my middle that not even my usual exercise routine has helped -- I am not sure if I'm eating more, but I honestly don't think so -- I can't think of any cravings I have had. Unless I am currently pregnant, then I see no other reason. This is my third cycle of taking Clomid and I am not doing this again. | F | 39 | 5 days 50 mg 1X D | 4/5/2010 | 4 | Not ovulating, PCOS | night sweats, mild insomnia, some moodiness, bloating, enlarged ovary, very bad yeast infections, fatigue | Took 50 mg for 3 cycles. Biggest side effect was yeast infections that made it pretty much impossible to even try to get pregnant. The Dr prescribed Diflucan, and it cleared up. Now on 2nd cycle of 100 mg. Didn't notice much the first month. This month, I had bad pains in my right side. Happened to have an appointment with fertility specialist during this time. She said my right ovary was so enlarged it was nearly the size of my uterus. It was so painful! I had released 4 eggs. Don't know yet if I'm pregnant. I'm just hoping I'm not carrying quadruplets. But at least I ovulated! | F | 32 | 5 days 100 1X D | 3/31/2010 | 3 | PCOS | At first I felt fine. I took it days 5-9 and thought all was going well. On day 12 all hell broke loose. Cramps, hot sweats, dizziness, nausea, flatulance, loss of appetite and then sudden SERIOUS hunger pains. Now am on day 16 and it's not getting any better. Have not had a + OPK test yet. | I don't know if it's working but I feel terrible. Started on 50mg for 5 days supposed to go to 100 then 150 if not working. Not sure I can handle it. | M | 36 | 5 days 50 1X D | 3/31/2010 | 4 | Unexplained Infertility | I have been incredibly happy and just feel great. I've also been far more interested in intimacy with my husband than usual. I'm on cycle day 18 of my first round and my nipples are very tender and my breasts have swollen 1.5 inches. | This is the first time I've tried Clomid. I'm concerned that when the dosage is increased, the side effects may get bad also. | F | 26 | 5 days 50 MG 1X D | 3/30/2010 | 4 | not ovulating; irregular cycle | I was a little moody the week after taking it (days 5-9), or maybe it was a convenient excuse for being angry. :) I felt myself ovulating on day 16 (pain and pinching on one side of abdomen), pain which I was actually grateful for. I've only felt that a couple times! I'm now three weeks out from my last pill, feeling nausea and breast tenderness. Hoping this is a symptom of something else, but I'm not sure when the side effects should wear off from Clomid. | This is my first time taking it. I'm hoping this is all I have to deal with in any successive rounds, judging from others' experiences. | F | 25 | 5 days 50 mg 1X D | 3/24/2010 | 4 | To get pregnant | This medication made me bloat, I had headaches dizzyness which I had to leave from work from. I had an increase in appetite and sensativity to smell and taste. I also had back pain and severe mood swings. I am now ovulating correctly finally and my doctor says Im doing great. | This is my first month. I get to take my pregnancy test on the second. This would be mine and my husbands first baby.I just hope it worked!! | F | 25 | 5 days 50 1X D | 3/24/2010 | 1 | Infertility/undiagn.PCOS @ the time | I was 26 when i tried clomid for infertility. Moodiness and hot flashes right after the first day, bloating, ovulation cramps on both sides. On day 3 woke up in horrific anxiety, opened the sliding door ready to jump out the window, heart racing..Dizzy followed by collapse. My partner had taken me to the ER-my skin turned yellow. | Do not recommend for PCOS.. Metformin works much better. Clomid seems to be an 'overkill' for this disorder. See your reproductive endocrinologist. PCOS is criminally underdiagnosed by fertility butchers. I almost died. | F | 33 | 3 days 50 1X D | 3/18/2010 | 4 | irregular periods after BCP | Pain in ovaries - worst around ovulation but some intermitent pain through whole cycle. Side effects on 50mg were spotting 5 days before period, so was bumped to 100mg. Similar pain in ovaries and yeasty discharge. | Took 50mg for 2 months and just went up to 100mg days 5-9 | F | 31 | 5 days 100 1X D | 3/15/2010 | 3 | help w/ ovulation | mood swings, blurred vision and the main side effect is weird dreams. For the past week I've had really weird, vivid dreams. | F | 26 | 5 days 50mg 1X D | 3/13/2010 | 4 | undetermined infertility | everything. Hotflashes, moodswings, headache, bloating, ga, strong O pain, cramps and painful twinges around my overies | strongest during the 5 days of taking it, however still felt side effects after. | F | 35 | 5 days 100 1X D | 2/19/2010 | 2 | improve chances of getting pregnant | Started 100 MG Clomid on the 5th of cycle & took it for 5 days. On the 8th day of cycle I woke up with a terrible blinding headache & it pretty much lasted the rest of that week on & off. On the 16th day of cycle I experienced the worst pelvic pain imaginable. Had 2 sleep with an ice pack on my lower abdomen. Day 17 started having thick white discharge resembling a yeast infection also was ichy down there. Discharge was so bad had 2 use a maxi pad. Then day 18 started the extreme bloating in my abdomen. Stomach blew up like I was already pregnant. I'm at day 19 and headaches are gone but I'm still really bloated with tenderness in my abdomen and also chest pains. When I take a deep breath my chest hurts. I'm up 6 lbs so far. Also very moody, extreme rage. Huge fight with husband on day 15 & been sleeping on couch all week cause I can't let it go. The horrible pelvic pain let me know I was ovulating but I was in 2 much pain, 2 uncomfortable & 2 moody 2 even t | pelvic pain, bloating, headaches, chest pains, weight gain, thick discharge, mood swings. | F | 31 | 5 days 100 MG 1X D | 2/11/2010 | 5 | to induce ovulation | bloating and mood swings | F | 34 | 5 days 150 mg 1X D | 2/6/2010 | 3 | Pregnancy | I've been on Clomid and have experianced: Weight Gain, Cramping during my cycle and Mood Swings. | This is my 3 cycle: the doctor has just increased my dosage from 50-100mg..I'm really hoping this will work | F | 36 | 2 months | 1/31/2010 | 3 | Infertility; age | I am in the middle of my first cycle (days 3-7) of clomid. I take it at night before bed. So far I've had night sweats, mild insomnia (I fall asleep but then awake several times during the night), hot flashes (about once or twice per day), and zero appetite (this one I don't mind). I have not finished one meal of mine since I started the pills. | This is my first shot at clomid. I've been trying to get pregnant for a year now with no luck. All diagnostic tests so far show no problems with tubes or uterus, however, I am not ovulating. I plan to try for 6 months, 3 "natural" and 3 with IUI. I hope this works! | F | 37 | 4 days | 1/26/2010 | 3 | Been trying for A year | Everything. I almost every side effect but I want a baby so I will suffer through it :) I already have a daughter I guess I am just not ovulating so thats why I was put on it | F | 27 | 3 months | 1/22/2010 | 3 | PCOS TTC | Blurred Vision, Diziness, Dry Mouth, Bloating, Emotional | End of Nov. my gyn started me on 50mg. that did nothing, i felt no side effects. When I saw a Reproductive Endo. they said they would bump it to 100 and see what happened. The 100 worked to develop the egg, took the trigger shot, but it didn't get fertilized. Started 100mg went in for sonogram and there was little progress. Dr. bumped it again to 150. I'm on day 4 of 150mg and there is a HUGE difference in side effects. I have light trails at night in low light, dizziness before falling asleep (room spins when i close my eyes- NOT drunk), dry mouth, light headed, bloated... I'm sure there are more I don't even realize. I go in again the 23rd hopefully this will work this time. | F | 28 | 9 weeks | 1/19/2010 | 2 | for ovulation | I had extreme anxiety,insomnia,deppression,bloated,dry mouth,dizziness,head ache,bad dreams,paranoid,chest pain | after taking my 1st cycle of 50mg no ovulation,2nd 100mg no luck,now its my third cycle 150mg hopefully it works | F | 31 | 3 days | 1/16/2010 | 2 | TTC #2 | none the first month whatsoever. Second month moody crampy and hot flashes at night after take the pills | This is my second month 100mg started day 3 yesterday going to do ultrasound on the 25th to see this time hopefully there will be eggs that are matured so she can give me a trigger shot to release the egg within 24-36 hours. I really really hope this works this time my son is 3 and if I get pregnant now he will be 4 when the baby is born and I really didn;t want to have children so far apart in age. I am also trying preeseed for the first time, anyone have thoughts on that, if it will help? | F | 28 | 2 months | 1/15/2010 | 4 | Infertility | I have been suffering with EXTREME fatigue around the time of ovulation (almost can't function at night). I have had dizziness (feel somewhat cloudy in my head at times). I didn't really get HOT flashes, but my overall body temp. seems to raise while taking clomid until ovulation occurs (not terrible though). Worst symptom is definitely FATIGUE! | I have a 3 year old daughter who was concieved without any difficulty. We have been trying to get pregnant with number 2 for 14 months now. I am on my second round of 50 mg Clomid. I am definitely ovulating! I have been using the Clear Plan easy monitor 10 days a month to track my cycle. | F | 30 | 2 months | 1/13/2010 | 3 | Trying to Conceive | None to speak of. | I am on my second round of Clomid. My first round I took 50 mg tablets on days 3-7 of my cycle. I took a progesterone test 21 days into my cycle and tests show I did not ovulate. This time I am taking 100 mg tablets on days 3-7 and really hoping this works! My husband and I have been trying for over a year and every month I anxiously await the absence of a period...are there any success stories out there? | F | 26 | 2 months | 1/12/2010 | 3 | 3 miscarriages/irregular ovulation | Taking 50 mg on days 5-9 usually at bedtime. Mo major side effects. Mild headaches. On Day 3 of clomid, started to notice I was more emotional/moody. Hot flashes experienced during sleep. | TTC for 1 year and 2 months. Able to get pregnant, but have had 3 miscarriages over the past year and half - Fertility specialist confirmed that I do not always ovulate (Day 21 progesterone tests showing low levels. This will be the last round of Clomid before moving onto IUI.

ANY HELP!!! in my mind though through all the crappy side effects, the hopefull end result keeps me going and lets face it,thats why we are all doing this to ourselfs | F | 32 | 5 months | 1/7/2010 | 3 | Unexplained Infertility | Last month was the first time taking Clomid. I was put on 50 mg for 5 days and I started on day 5 of my period. I had headaches and that's about it. | Well, sad to say, but the 50 mg did not work. I started my period today. Totally bummed. =( Been TTC for over 2 years now and I'm dread the thought of having to go through IUI and then IVF if that does not work. This month, I will be on 100 mg for 5 days. Good luck and baby dust to everyone here! | F | 31 | 1 months | 1/2/2010 | 5 | Not Ovulating | Nausea After Every Meal, Crazy Depression, Hot Flashes at night, Mood Swings, Lower Back Pain, Blurred Vision, Dizziness, Fatigue | I'm 5'6 and 114lb so I have this crazy sensitivity to meds and the Clomid side effects really have changed my overall persona. But I really really want to start a family and my husband deploys to Afghanistan soon so we started the treatment after discovering my 'defect' of not ovulating. I just finished the 4th month of 5 months and have lost the 'joy' of trying to have a baby. | F | 23 | 5 months | 12/29/2009 | 4 | do not ovulate | extremely bloated very bad pains...hot flashes weight gain. Very emotional. After i ovualted extremely bloated and sore breasts..the best way to explain my symptoms was I really thought I was prego with all that was going on with my body..felt like i was on a roller coaster ride!!!!!NOT PREGNANT and NOT GIVING UP! | the medicine was very successful since I did ovulate where I did not at all for who knows how long..will start 2nd cycle next week...good luck to everyone! | F | 36 | 5 days | 12/23/2009 | 5 | No ovulation | blurry vision, saw flashes in my vision, and one night i had the WORST cramps, I couldnt even get out of bed or sit up, I couldnt even push to pee! | I only really had blurry vision and sometimes I would see flashes. Had the 100 mg dose from days 5 to 10. I had at least 15 follicles,so many that the doctor had to get her nurse to bring a pen and paper to write down each follicle and the size of it! The doctor advised me to not have intercourse this time around because my chances of having high number of multiples was insane. So next cycle I will just take 50 mg!! | F | 22 | 5 days | 12/18/2009 | 4 | recurrent miscarriages | Mild headaches and some hot flashes | I highly recommend taking the medicine when you go to sleep at night to lessen the side effects as per pharmacist's suggestion. The first time using the drug, we got pregnant, but miscarried at 6 weeks. Taking it currently days 5-9 of cycle. Hope this time works! | F | 34 | 2 months | 12/14/2009 | 4 | pcos/with normal period hormone imb | none really just hotflash | F | 28 | 7 days | 12/12/2009 | 3 | PCOS | Im not sure if they are side effects or what because I started experiencing them about a week or two after I took the medication. I've had hot flashes, breast tenderness, cramping, and moodiness, weight gain and increased discharge. | I just started taking it at the beginning of Nov. on days 5-9 I ovulated but I am not sure if i am pregnant or just having side effects. My husband and I have been trying to have a second child since our daughter was 2 and today she's 5 so I hope this works cause this is it. | F | 24 | 1 months | 11/29/2009 | 2 | Unexplained infertility | Hot flashes, quesiness, depressed behavior, irrational thoughts, definite feeling of "not being myself", pelvic pain (which could be associated to mensuration), and add in a few tears... | I began taking Clomid when I was 24 after my ex husband and I had tried naturally for 2 years. I took three "rounds" of Clomid - without any monitoring from my doctor i.e. ultrasounds - and although I ovulated each time (I am pretty sure I ovulate on my own anyway) timed intercourse did not "work". My current husband and I have been togeter for about two years and have not used any birth control that entire time. Begining in June of 2009, we begain infertility treatments. I am now on my third "round" of Clomid again (going from 50 m.g. during my 1st marriage, to 150 m.g. this time) and my doctors have decided to add an HCG shot and an Ovidril shot to stimulate ovulation (to produce more folicle) and to release the eggs. We will then try IUI for the first time. Good luck to all you you. I know after years of unexplained infertility and crappy drugs, we are all praying for a miracle. | F | 28 | 6 months | 11/23/2009 | 5 | pregnancy | no side-effects at all. | Reading all these negative comments on this page, I got very concerned about taking Clomid but I am on day 3rd now and no side effect whatsoever! | F | 43 | 5 days | 11/17/2009 | 3 | unexplained infertility | I have had hot flashes morning sickness and headaches and definately abdominal pain 2 days after I have taken clomid. I'm still just gone be patient and see what the outcome comes out to be but it does give you the side effects definately. | I was on 50mg of clomid and it is really working but I have a 9yr old girl but the doctor says that my estrogen level was low so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a second child and much luck to everone else who is trying. | F | 27 | 5 days | 11/17/2009 | 3 | Blocked right tube | bloating,breast tenderness,abdominal pain | Its my first cycle,days(5-9.I haven't had my period for 40 days now,trying to figure out if this is a known side effect | F | 34 | 5 days | 11/16/2009 | 4 | No Ovulation/Endometrosis | Extreme nausea, headaches, mood swings, blurred vision, sleep insomnia, weight gain (20 ibs in a month) and hot flashes | 11 mo trying... 1st month 50 mg only had a little nausea, headaches, and mild mood swings. NO OVULATION 2nd mo. I am o on day 14 with no ovulation yet(CBFM say I am high right now but not peak. Fingers Crossed) Bu mood swings are CRAZY! headaches not so bad this time. Nasuea is terrible. Oh not to mention stinking hot flashes. But it will all be worth it once we have another baby. | F | 20 | 2 months | 10/25/2009 | 4 | PCOS | Tiredness a little moody | Using 50mg first time already on Metformin and ovulating but ovulating late and no pregnancy on just met. Hoping the clomid and met together will get the results I've been dreaming of. | F | 30 | 5 days | 10/23/2009 | 3 | Unknown Fertility | This is my first dose of Clomid (5-9)and day 1- I had most of the symptoms severe migraine, nausea, hot flashes & bloating. | We have been trying to get pregnant only 6 months and my cycles are very irregular hence the clomid. It has been 3 days since my last day 9 pill so we are hoping that this works....we want to have a baby very much! | F | 38 | 5 days | 10/23/2009 | 3 | Unknown Infertility | Everything and more!!!! Extreme nausea, dizzy, lightheaded, tremors, depression, moody, anxiety, tired | I felt horrible the 5 days I was on Clomid! I felt very spacey with all the side effects listed on the medication label! I also had the weirdest tremor thing going on! I felt like my head was shaking! This was my first cycle on it, and I have been TTC for 4 years :( so I hope it works because I dont want to take it again! | F | 30 | 5 days | 10/14/2009 | 3 | trying 2 have a baby | I started to take clomid bout 2 half weeks ago i stopped takin it as i forgot to take it one day i only took 3 tablets and have had hotflushes and really bad head my legs feel like there are goin 2 give way my hot flushes stopped but still have this bad head i wasnt given clomid by my doctor i brought of the net and just took it as my friend ahas had it and she just told me wot to do im thinking that this was a stupid idea does any one knw how long these headache go on for as it is a pain now thank you for ya help | F | 28 | 3 days | 10/13/2009 | 3 | unexplained infertility | I was given 50mg days 2-6,Extreme swelling of abdomen in mid cycle(I LOOKED 4 MONTHS PREGNANT)couldn't walk, sleep properly and was sofa bound for a week. I ovulate on my own so wouldn't recommend this drug unless you don't ovulate.I didn't become pregnant. | F | 38 | 1 months | 10/12/2009 | 1 | TTC and unexplained infertility | Dizziness, nausea, moodiness and anxiety | I took Clomid 50mg days 4-8, I was pretty much symptom free until the end and then, it hit! I still am reeling from the anxiety and moodiness and it's been a week since my last dose. I will not take this drug again! | F | 30 | 5 days | 10/12/2009 | 5 | Unexplained. TTC naturally for 1 yr | Happiness!! I felt really good. | F | 36 | 5 days | 9/29/2009 | 3 | Blocked Left Fallopian Tube | Taking clomid day 3-5 of my cycle. Mild headache after taking Clomid; but then subsides. No more noticable side effects.... Slight cramping after 2nd day taking 100mg.... Maybe from follicle stimulation leading up to ovulation?! | This is my 2nd cycle taking clomid. Took 50mg 1st cycle for 5 days. 2nd cycle increased to 100mg; we'll see after this dose! | F | 36 | 5 weeks | 9/26/2009 | 3 | pcos/age | nausea/vomiting, cramping, hot flashes/nite sweats, breast tenderness, decreased apatite, diarhea, back aches, insomnia, vivid dreams, bloating and very uncomfortable ovulation | I conceived my first child after trying for 11 years, without any help. Now I'm 38 with PCOS and want to have another child. Doctor decided to put me on clomid 50mg, so far the side effects stink! I'm so glad to find this site and no that I'm not losing my mind. I also take metformin for PCOS I don't no if this effects clomid in anyway or not. | F | 38 | 5 days | 9/25/2009 | 3 | endometriosis and trying for baby | HOT FLASHES! The hot flashes were awful. I took the pill days 5-10 of my cycle i had severe headaches, vertigo,and my breasts and skin felt tender. i could feel the mood swings! | I am hoping the clomid has worked. I have been throwing up for the last two days and kinda dizzy. I dont know if this is a nother side effect or if i have the flu or i am pregnant... wish i knew. good luck to all | M | 24 | 1 months | 9/23/2009 | 3 | unexplained infertility | hot flashes, cramping, mood swings on all doses, and nausea and dizziness too when on 150mg. | I took clomid for three cycles (so far), all on days 3-7. The first round was 50mg, i took it at night. Second round was 100mg, i took this in the morning. Third round was 150mg, i took these at night. I ovulated on all doses (27mm follicle on 100mg!). I have never had children, became pregnant last year, on my own - and suffered a miscarriage at 9 weeks. We have been trying for a year and a half since then. | F | 25 | 3 months | 9/21/2009 | 3 | unexplained infertility | mild dizziness for 2 hours after pill, otherwise no other side effects | Prescribed 100mg on days 5-9 and had a false positive with OPK day 11. ovulated on day 18. | F | 34 | 5 days | 9/20/2009 | 3 | Infertility | Im only on my first dose of Clomis 50mg and I take my last pill from my 5-7 days tomarrow. The side effects of Clomid I have expirianced are, breast swelling (I was a 34 C now I am pushing a D), insomnia (no matter what from days 3 to 5 i couldn't fall asleep for anything), and nausia (only happens mid afternoon). | I have never takin Clomid before and I'm just about to en my first dose of 50mg. I hope it works. We have been trying for a year and a half with no luck. It turned out I just wasn't ovulating. So my doctor is having me try Clomid. I really hope it works. We have been trying for what feels like 100 years and nothing has happend. Ill repost after my next set...if i take another dose! I hope not = ) | F | 23 | 5 days | 9/12/2009 | 1 | Infertility | Hot flashes - INTENSE Panic attacks and anxiety (horrific thoughts would flash in my head out of no where - followed by a panic attack) | Some information about me: 35, I have one child and have a history of anxiety. Have been treated for anxiety in the past, but not currently on any meds (off meds a year or so). First round taken CD 3-8 = 100mg. Hot flashes and grumpy. No big deal -- thought to myself, wow! Clomid is great! I did ovulate a nice big egg, used timed intercourse -- we didnt get pregnant. Second round taken CD 3-8 = 150mg On CD 5, I had a horrific thought wizz in my brain. Triggered major anxiety and panic. Had another episode on CD, 10 (2 days after clomid rx). Called the dr. She said that she believed Clomid was to blame and gave me Ativan to ease the panic. I took one Ativan & felt better in an hour - I have not needed another since. I called the Mental Health group at my hospital to find a way of dealing with anxiety while going through infertility treatment (sans drugs). I did ovulate and have a nice big egg waiting for timed intercourse. Fingers crossed that it works. Dr. Said NO MORE CLOMID for me. I asked if my reaction was common, she said no. I dont know if I buy after reading online testimonials. I believe that if you have a history of anxiety or depression, you are more proned to have this type of reaction to Clomid. | F | 35 | 10 days | 9/9/2009 | 4 | Needed help to get pregnant | I am currently taking my second dose of clomid and I am on the days 5-9 treatment. I have been really dizzy and complete loss of attention. I am even having a hard time finishing this email. Ugh. | On the bright side, I did this with my first pregnancy and now have a cute three year old! | F | 35 | 2 days | 9/5/2009 | 1 | Severe Endometriosis | Deep depression, abdominal and muscular cramps | I took Clomid days 5-9 for 5 months and was unaware of any side-affects before I started. Have been depressed for 5 months and symptoms intensifying so past month has been uncontrollable crying and apathy. The black depression is just not worth it. Still trying to get over it even though stopped the pills 3 weeks ago. My endometriosis didn't affect ovulation, but it's possible the clomid has intensified the progress of the endo so now need another operation just 12 months after the last one. I would not take the pills again, even though am still trying to fall pregnant after 3 years. | F | 33 | 5 months | 8/27/2009 | 3 | Infertility | uterine/ovarian cramping during ovulation, dizziness, slight nausea, flatulance, bloated, hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue | Started taking clomid 100mg on day 3-7, 1st cycle. I took the pills after coming home from working night shift & went straight to bed in case there were immediate side effects. Initially experienced short episodes of blurred vision, horrible/uncomfortable hot flashes, then night sweats. I started ovulating on day 15. The hot flashes and night sweats continued, started with periodic dizziness, nausea and feeling faint, also with ovarian/uterine cramping. I'm now day 16 and hoping this gets better and we get pregnant. I don't think I have been moody and that's confirmed by my husband, then again he could be trying to be nice. | F | 31 | 5 days | 8/25/2009 | 3 | Late ovulation/TTC | Ovulation cramping starting day after first pill (sharp twinges as follicles grow), this continues until day of O, intermittent headaches (not bad ones and they would not last long), drying of CM. | I've taken clomid for 2 months thus far for late ovulation and TTC. The first month I was on 50 mgs cycle days 3-7 and I ovulated around Day 20. The second month I was on 100 mgs on days 3-7 and I ovulated either on day 19 or day 20 (not exactly sure). Both months I got a BFN. I am starting my 3rd month next week and will be doing 100 mgs again on either days 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9 (depending on when AF shows up and when I can get in for my baseline u/s). | F | 29 | 2 months | 8/12/2009 | 3 | Age factor | My goodness! This was my first time taking clomid and I didn't feel anything until after the cycle. Firstly there was intermittent cramping. This has been happening for a little over a week. The other major, major thing, is this weight gain!! Aaaahhh!!! What is this all about? Not a good thing. Anyway, my period is supposd to come next week, hopefully it doesn't :) Only God knows. | F | 38 | 5 days | 8/7/2009 | 3 | PCOS | Blurred vision, night sweats, nausea, dizzyness, Loss of appetite | Today was my first day of Clomid after 5 days of provera and it has been a very hard week and half. Pumping my body full of hormnes(Provera) for five days and then having a period for three days and then starting to pump the hormones again(Clomid)has really thrown me for a loop. I had to leave work early today. The one good side effect, I guess because of the nausea I've had a loss of appetite. Which from what I read is uncommon. Like many of you I'm really hoping it works this first month!!!! | F | 24 | 5 days | 8/5/2009 | 4 | ttc 3rd child | hot flashes, moody, weight gain, and ovulation cramping | i have been on clomid for 2 months and the 1st month i had only hot flashes. the 2nd go round i had ovulation cramps andi dont know if it due to the clomid but brest tender and have a thick vein around my areola. I did Ovulate and had big follies. I would suggest other to do it minus the side effect. I did like the fact that it make you feel that you are pregnant when you may not be. but it does help with ovulation. | F | 26 | 2 times | 8/3/2009 | 3 | Infertility | Major Moodiness while taking Clomid, pain during ovulation time, exaggerated pre-period signs- sore breasts, cramps, nausea, moodiness | I better get pregnant soon, I don't know how much longer my husband can take the moodiness the Clomid brings on! I was on Clomid two years ago and got pregnant the first month. Unfortunately we miscarried. Since then we have miscarried a total of 3 times and had one tubal. We're hoping the Clomid will help get us pregnant faster! | F | 28 | 5 days | 8/3/2009 | 2 | Unexplained Infertility | Severe lower back pain, weight gain 10 lbs in 2 months, constant bloated feeling, painful breasts | Have only taken it for 2 months and am stopping to see if back pain subsides (Physician unsure if it's the cause, but it began within a week of my initial start of Clomid. Took Clomid days 3-7. | F | 31 | 5 days | 8/2/2009 | 4 | Unexplained Infertility | Headaches, nausea, dizziness | My first cycle on clomid I took 50mg. days 3-7. I experienced a headache approximately 5 hours after taking the pill every day. The headaches were such that I became sick to my stomach. I was dreading the second round, but agreed to do it. The first day I was a little sick to my stomach and dizzy, but NOTHING like the first cycle. This is day two and no side effects. I decided to take the pill at dinner this go around and at bedtime to take 400mg of Advil - this may be the key to helping with the side effects for me. Hoping it will work this time and I don't have to think about it again. | F | 28 | 5 days | 7/27/2009 | 3 | PCOS | Severe cramping and bloating, flatulance, headaches, yeast infection, severe mood swings, depression and anxiety, and hot flashes. | I took Clomid for three months at 50mg. The first two months were tolerable but the third month I started to get severe anxiety and depression. I was sad all the time and would burst out in tears for no reason. I ovulated for those three months but did not get pregant. My periods seemed shorter too only 3days long when they use to be seven. I'm not taking Clomid anymore and moving on to injections. | F | 35 | 3 months | 7/24/2009 | 5 | PCOS | no side effects | took clomid last year days 1-5 50mg...worked first cycle but unfortunalty our son was still born at eight months. so we decided to try the clomid again. we're doing days 3-7 and this is my last last day on it so we are keeping our fingers crossed that it works as quick as it did last time!! | F | 22 | 5 days | 7/14/2009 | 4 | PCOS | I have no side effects! | I just finish taking Clomid (cycle 1) (5-9)50mg(once a day) and I feel great. I am still hoping that it worked!!! | F | 30 | 5 days | 7/2/2009 | 1 | infertility | Absolutely horrible side effects, severe arrhytmia that landed ne in the emergency room. Dizziness and episodes of severe arrhythmia continued for several years with the worst first year. Gradually improved only on the fifth year. | I took this drug for three menstual cycles, first two times for 7 days, third time -- 10 days. DO NOT TAKE, there are better drugs for infertility! | F | 45 | | 7/2/2009 | 3 | Assist fertility over 40 | Just exaggerated my normal symptoms. I had much more painful ovulation. I've had raging headaches several days before my period, some nausea and sore breasts. | I had 3 folicles the first time, only 2 the second. Will probably try injectables next round, on the recommendation of my doctor. I'm willing to endure lots of discomfort in order to conceive our second child at this age. Conceived naturally in 5 months at age 38. Overall, not too bad. You feel worse during the stressful times, ovulation and IUI, and then that awful waiting time just before your period or pregnancy. I've been trying to see if anyone else has these raging headaches before getting your period. I've heard the drop in progesterone causes it, so I take my monthly headache as a foreboding sign. So not happy, and I feel crappy. Don't want to take medicine in case I am pregnant, so I suffer through it. Don't know whether it is psychological or not, but I've felt like I've had pregnancy symptoms each month we've tried. I've felt nauseous, headachey, sore nipples. But when I look back at my first pregnancy, I had none of that, so I guess I need to interpret these symptoms as clomid symptoms and not pregnancy. Hope this helps someone - good luck everyone! Hate the stress, but a baby is worth it! | F | 41 | 2 months | 6/25/2009 | 2 | Clomid Challenge | Headache, anxiety, moodiness, emotional, bloating, paranoia, constipation, hot flashes, insomnia | I ovulate on my own but my Dr. had prescribed 50 mg to stregnthen ovulation. I took it for one cycle and at that time decided that the side effects were not worth it and I did not use it again. We've been trying to conceive for about a year or so off and on with no success so I wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong. Fertility Dr. put me on 100 mg days 5-9 as part of the Clomid Challenge. I made it through to day 8 and could not bear to take the last dose. I knew what the common side effects were but did not know about the insomnia, paranoia and anxiety. I was extremely emotional crying at everything for the last 2-3 days. If this is the only way I can get pregnant then I don't think i could do it. | F | 37 | 4 days | 6/25/2009 | 5 | Don't ovulate, Endometriosis & more | Hot flashes LIKE CRAZY you wouldn't believe the hot flashes! Dizzy, HUNGRY all the time man I am so freaking FAT & i aint even pregnant! Mood Swings now let me tell you they are EXTREME one min PISSED off & the next bawling my eyes out & then HAPPY! I have bloating & last but not least severe severe pain in my abdomen so bad that I went to the Er they didn't do anything for me cause I wouldn't take pain pills cause they would potentially hurt our chances of getting pregnant | I have come down with a rash on both sides of my hips that ITCH like crazy not sure if its a side effect but haven't been outside to get anything & I was supposed to O 14-19 somewhere between that so maybe after I O I got a rash?? Beats me! My first child is a 100% MIRACLE she is 2 1/2 years old Crystal TTC# 2 | F | 24 | 1 months | 6/21/2009 | 4 | annovulation | Hot flashes, slight moodiness | I took clomid at night so hopefully i slept through most side effects. I just finish 2nd round. First round at 50mg I did not ovulate, 2nd round at 100mg I did ovulate. Hopefully this will be my month! | F | 26 | 2 months | 6/17/2009 | 3 | Irregular Periods | No major side effects, slight cramping, random hot flash | Taken it for 2 months, last month my progesterone was 19, this month it was .5. Doctor thinks I didn't ovulate. | F | 31 | 2 months | 6/17/2009 | 4 | TTC, annovulatory | Ovary cramping, Uterine cramping, mood swings, hot flashes, extremely tender breasts after ovulation, heartburn, and yeast infection | I'm now on my second cycle of Clomid and the side effects have yet to arrive. Most of them happened after ovulation and were very irritating but not unbearable. It did make me ovulate on CD16 so I am satisfied that it is indeed helping us. | F | 22 | 2 months | 6/15/2009 | 2 | ovulation | night sweats, extreme fatigue, increased hunger, moodiness and short temper | This is only my second round at 50mg. Based on others' comments, I am nervous of having to increase dosage if I am this affected already. Hopefully I will not have to - on second day of clomid and hoping it works! | F | 38 | 2 months | 6/8/2009 | 1 | Endometriosis - trying to conceive | severe cramps, bloating, Vertigo, light headed, constipated, exhausted, emotional, weight gain | Had 3 cycles of Clomid, every experience has been terrible, had to be hospitalized to control my side effects each time | F | 30 | 3 months | 6/8/2009 | 4 | PCOS - Thin Cyster | Blurry vision/floaters, Hot Flashes, severe bloating, moodiness, weepiness | Taken at night CD 3-7 100mg. Clomid along with an hCG trigger shot helped me ovulated larger, more mature eggs both cycles. Biggest complaint would be the abdominal cramping, it was really bad during second round, which included an IUI. Not sure if this cycle worked but I'm not sure I will do it again because of the emotional roller-coaster and pain which has been affecting my work. | F | 28 | 2 months | 5/27/2009 | 4 | TTC AND PCOS | NO SIDE EFFECT | STARTED MY 2ND CYCLE, HOPING THIS IS MY MONTH | F | 31 | 2 months | 5/26/2009 |
