My ovaries are somewhat resistant to clomid so far. Lots of side affects but will do whatever it takes to complete my family.

And iv had no period in 2 months I have to go to dr to now take something for my period to start I'll never take again! | F | 38 | 3 months 100 | 1/3/2016 | 3 | prescribed not ovulating each month | It's my first cycle taking clomid I have mild spots of endometriosis the doctor warned me I might experience abdominal pain an if it gets too bad they will book me straight in for a scan. For 2 days my stomach has been in agony it's bearable as long as I have painkillers with me at all times I can't walk much because of the pain it hurts when I cough laugh or feel about. I'm hoping it eases off as I don't want to be phoning my consultant to book me in for a scan for no reason I don't want to be wasting her time. It's been 5 days since taking them on days 2-6 of my cycle so maybe it's because I'm currently on day 22 an the pain started day 21 maybe I've ovulated fingers crossed. | F | 25 | 1 months 50mg | 10/20/2015 | 3 | Infertility | OMG I was able to manage the first 2 round but the 3rd one I got so bad that I did not want to go to work. Hot and cold flashes night and day, PMS, back pain and cramping Felling tired all the time like I'm having the flu | Can not take it anymore | F | 39 | 3 months 200 mg | 9/15/2015 | 4 | Irregular periods | Breast tenderness,very sore armpits | Took clomid 6 years ago and got pregnant with no side effects on 3rd cycle. 6 years later on 4th round of clomid,unbearable side effects and loosing hope :( | F | 29 | 5 days 50mg | 8/5/2015 | 3 | PCOS/ Anovulatory | Dizziness, Irritability, Fatigue, severe food aversions to meat and other cooked foods, | First dose 50 mg did not work at all. Now on 100 mg. | F | 40 | 5 days 100 1X D | 8/3/2015 | 2 | PCOS, Anovulation & Absent Periods | Caused SEVERE mood swings that got way out of hand as I continued taking the drug. Clomid made me feel like I was not myself. I got into major fights with my husband over things I wouldn't have normally, broke things I wish I hadn't, inflicted pain on myself in a few different ways including cutting, and had feelings of depression and wanting to die. Minor side effects I experienced were hot flashes and night sweats. The symptoms usually started a day or two after finishing the 5th pill for each cycle and lasted for up to 2-3 weeks. | To elaborate on the "SEVERE mood swings," I was so mentally messed up from this drug that I had boughts of chaotic rage towards my husband. The first month I had successfully embarrassed myself in front of all my neighbors by driving off in a fit of rage and ended up driving up onto my next door neighbors sidewalk like a crazy person; which is a good reason not to drive when angry to begin with, but I felt I had no control over any of my actions much like The Incredible Hulk. The second month I still got into huge fights with the hubby that ended in me causing self harm due to not being able to handle the strong emotions this drug was throwing my way; I had started head banging and had a feeling of wanting to just die. The third month again with the self harm, except this time I ended up causing self mutilation by cutting while feeling like I didn't want to be around anymore again, that's where I drew the line and my husband and I decided I should stop taking Clomid for good. It effected my quality of life while taking it and put an awful strain on my relationship. I can't wait until it's fully out of my system and I get to be me again. I know everyone's different, but with what has all happened to me in just 3 months, I wouldn't recommend ANYBODY to take Clomid. | F | 27 | 3 months 50 mg | 7/9/2015 | 2 | To conceive | First round was fine, but second month was not good. Took 4 out of 5 pills and I could barely walk by the afternoons on days 8 and 9 (cycle days). my thighs were so sore like I had run a marathon! I am still sore but much better on day 13. Apparently I am the 1% who gets myalgia. Lots of fluttering in pelvis, a bit tired but will not be taking Clomid again. I do ovulate, so not indicated, but it was decided that I could try it. Hoping for twins though! Fingers crossed:) | F | 41 | 4 days 50 | 5/22/2015 | 1 | In addition to TRT | Holy shit balls! Ok, my TRT doc put me on Clomid 25mg twice a week in conjunction with my TRT. I have never in my life ever lost control of my emotions, moody, ZERO libido, ED, heart racing, 9 lb weight loss over 3 weeks. | If your TRTdoc attempts to put this with your TRT, tell him no! | M | 40 | 2 months 25mg | 5/22/2015 | 4 | to ovulate so I can conceive a baby | While taking clomid I encountered bloating, irritability, emotional hot flashes, pain in lower back/ abdomen and painful ovulation. | Now I am 2 weeks passed being finished with the medication. I have different side effects such as extreme tiredness, headaches, fluttering in my abdomen and hot flashes. Hopefully the clomid worked and I am pregnant! | F | 38 | 5 days 50 mg | 4/13/2015 | 4 | ovulation and pregnancy | Abdominal pains and sneezing. | Hope to get pregnant with the treatment of clomid. | F | 30 | 5 days 100mg | 3/26/2015 | 5 | ovulation and pregnancy | I have no side effects. | Hope that it is indeed working. | F | 43 | 5 days 50 | 3/21/2015 | 3 | to ovulate and get pregnant | Tiredness,trouble sleeping and spotting | It really makes me ovulate and am just keeping my fingers cross becuz I have 1 cycle left so hopefully it works for me 2 get preg | F | 20 | 5 months 50mg | 3/18/2015 | 3 | PCOS, infertility | Just finished first round and horrible side effects!

Headaches, nausea/vomiting, facial hair,sore breast, tiredness, insomnia | I just finished my third round pretty sure I haven't ovulated once... Side effects are horrible but I guess that the price you pay when you want a family. | F | 24 | 5 days 50 mg | 1/22/2015 | 3 | Secondary infertility | Just moodiness, day 17/18 I have really sore tummy, I'm assuming it was my ovaries. | Had a blood test at day 21, did a urine home preg test day 24 with negative result.

Possible problems with ovaries now 25 years later. | Clomid is good for achieving pregnancy, however, now (my twin sons are 24)...I believe that the medical challenges they have undergone may be due to taking Clomid. One son had Tourette's growing up and now is living with Schizophrenia. My other son battled APL Leukemia at age 17 and thank God is doing well now. Both of these have to deal with chromosomal abnormalities. I just wanted to post this simply to caution others to research it more before trying. | F | 50 | 7 months 1X D | 9/27/2014 | 5 | PCOS, Endometriosis, and PCS | Headaches, mood swings, breast tenderness, insomnia, the works | F | 22 | 5 days 50 MG | 9/21/2014 | 1 | Fertility Issues | I experienced HORRIBLE anxiety.

Trying to develop the right amount and size of follicles and then have an Ovidrel trigger to stimulate ovulation. I am currently on my second consecutive month of clomid and hoping i have made the right decision to take it.

It was torture taking it. I stopped after 3 months, then got put back on it for 1 month - begged my dr not to put me on it. We refuse to use it anymore b/c it depressed me, made me gain a ton of weight, and made my belly pooch out. We're just ttc naturally now and if it was meant to be, it will be. | F | 28 | 4 months 50 1X D | 1/31/2013 | 4 | To get pregnant | Bloating ,diahrea,headache,extreme stomach cramps,nausea,hotflashes,vomitting,weight gain | F | 26 | 6 days 200mgtotal | 12/3/2012 | 4 | Help to fall pregnant | Nothing at all why taking the drug a week after really bad ovary pain feeling very sick and tired and head ache I hope this works I dunno if I wanna have to up my doses | F | 27 | 1 months 50mg | 11/29/2012 | 4 | To ovulate | Given the high dosage, I was expecting hell, but it was not too terrible. Hot flashes were pretty bad, but no mood swings or other side effects. Increased vaginal dryness. | I’m 9 weeks pregnant!! This was my second month on Clomid. First one (100mg) did not work for me. Good luck to all. | F | 35 | 5 days 150 mg 1X D | 11/19/2012 | 5 | pregnancy | No side effects took for 2 months and got pregnant. Lost the baby at 8 weeks but I'm taking the pills to try again | F | 27 | 1 days 50 mg | 10/26/2012 | 3 | Unknown infertility | I did have great ovulation on clomid, but that is the only positive. I had some mild hot flashes, some mood swings, and at times became pretty emotional. The worst part about clomid for me, has been the dizzy spells. They are so bad I am sometimes afraid to drive. I have decided to take a break from clomid because of the severity of this symptom. | F | 34 | 2 months 50 | 10/26/2012 | 3 | PCOS | First round of 50 mg had my eyes very sensitive to light, hot flashes, nauseated and mood swings. I did not ovulate that round. Bumped up to 100 mg and ovulated on day 13 but no pregnancy. Currently still on 100 mg, CD 17 and still no ovulation. I chart my temps every morning but nothing has picked up yet. However, I don't rely heavily on my temps as there can be so many variables while doing so. The past few days I've been crampy but nothing I can't handle. I have my day 21 progesterone levels done this coming week so we'll find out if it was just my chart | F | 33 | 3 months 100 mg | 10/19/2012 | 5 | PCOS | Mood swings, depression and anxiety. . . But let's face it, anyone that NEEDS Clomd has been TTC for sometime and who doesn't feel this way whilst dealing with infertility?! | I got pregnant on my 1st round of 50mg. We are now TTC #2 and have taken 1 round 50mg and I don't think it has worked this cycle. . . But bring on the rest. Worth every side effect. Good luck to all! | F | 26 | 1 months 50mg 1X D | 10/4/2012 | 2 | Anovulation | Holy Jesus. The side effects are horrible; simply put, personally DEBILITATING. If you're sensitive to medications or anything you put into your body, for that matter, Clomid may not be the right fertility drug for you. I would've appreciated if my OB/GYN told me just how much weight gain is possible on this medication. When I began my 1st cycle of Clomid, I was 119 lbs and a size 2. I'm 5'2"; I'm short and I know it. I've embraced it over the years with short strides in long-distance running. I've been a marathoner and half-marathoner since age 17. I'm now 36. As for the side effects, the hot flashes come and go and are deal-able, but the tremendous weight gain, abdominal bloating and mood-swings are not welcome, at all. The first month I took 50 mg Clomid on days 3-7, I experienced extreme hot-flashes, abdominal bloating that made me appear as if I were 5-6 months pregnant although I certainly was not, bizarre mood-swings that had me both crying and laughing within the same | It's 3 days before I am due for my period. THAT, or the grief of experiencing 2 rounds of Clomid has made it possible that I could indeed be pregnant. I'll be sure to post if I get any positive news. Thanks to all the women who have posted here. It certainly helps reading about your experiences and makes me feel like I'm not entirely alone in this journey. | F | 36 | 2 months 50 mg 1X D | 10/2/2012 | 2 | Infertility | None | I am 33 years of age and Clomid didn't live up to its reputation. My doctor put me on provera, to re-start my menstrual cycle after a cycle was skipped after a miscarriage, and then put me on Clomid. I ovulated late and have subsequently NOT become pregnant. This is so disturbing as my doctor doesn't seem to think that there is a problem. | F | 33 | 5 days 50 1X D | 9/26/2012 | 3 | Pcos | While taking clomid 50mg I experienced hot flushes mood swings and headaches, nothing to extreme !! It did make me ovulate but not pregnant on 4th cycle !! Good luck to all XX | F | 22 | 1 days 50mg | 9/21/2012 | 5 | TTC Pcos | Tender breasts, cramps, nausea and dizziness 2nd round cd6!!! ;) it's my time... Baby dust to all | F | 26 | 1 months 50mg | 8/28/2012 |
