| 2 | PCOS-related infertility | none | Don't yet know how effective it is. Started out on 50 mg. - did not work. Just started taking 100 mg., waiting to see what happens. | F | 31 | 3 months | 6/13/2002 | 2 | infertility | headaches,tiredness | F | 32 | | 11/3/2002 | 5 | anovulation | terrible headaches, slighly blurred vision on the first day. I did not experience nausea or lack of cervical mucus (as experienced by some patients) | I took 50 mg for days 5-9 on my cycle and I OVULATED. Follicular scans indicate that the drug has induced my ovulation perfectly. I do not do so on my own so I consider this drug a miracle! | F | 30 | 5 days | 11/7/2002 | 4 | Low progesterone after ovulation | headaches, hot flashes, dizziness, insomnia | While I did not become pregnant on clomid, it did work to raise my low progesterone problem. So, I consider it very effective. | F | 30 | 4 months | 8/25/2004 | 2 | PCOS | Hot flashes that would interrupt sleep, Horrible mood swings (I wanted to kill everyone around me), like having PMS X 10, breast tenderness | I ovulated on it- that's about the extent of its effectiveness. Hoping for better things on Letrozole, which is supposed to do the same thing with fewer side effects. | F | 31 | 6 times | 12/23/2004 | 5 | fertility | I experienced 1 episode of blurred vision during the 4th day of taking the pill. | I took Clomid for 6 months. I started at 50mg, did that for 2 months. Then moved to 100mg for 3 months. I never ovulated. I decided to try 150mg and I ovulated my 1st month at 150mg. I didn't get pregnant, so I tried 1 more month and got pregnant. Final result: 150mg taken days 3-7 of my cycle = pregnancy. | F | 29 | 5 days | 2/26/2005 | 3 | infertility | Horrible headaches, some nausea, extreme fatigue, dizziness and spaciness during morning classes (I teach). | I'm 41, had one miscarriage last summer (without clomid), and did not get pregnant since, so 8 months later am trying clomid for the first time. Saliva test indicates ovulation, but it's only day 11 of my cycle so do not know results yet. | F | 41 | 5 days | 4/10/2005 | 1 | infertility | very harsh mood swings, weepy and angry; 4 months after going off clomid, had a very large cyst possibly due to it. | F | 41 | 10 days | 4/18/2005 | 4 | To make me ovulate more effectively | I had no side effects on Clomid. Felt better on Clomid. I did have more discomfort during ovulation. Not severe, just felt like my body was really working. | I was ovulating, but my progestrone was only 9.3, so since I had nothing else wrong, after doing an HSG, my Dr. put me Clomid, 50mg, CD 3. Well I ovulated and then some. My progestrone went from 9.3 to 30.1... I am only on CD 26, and do not know if I am preg. This is only my first month, and if it did not work, I would go on it again. But I have heard you should only take it for 3 to 6 months. | F | 32 | 1 months | 4/21/2005 | 3 | Annovulation/Infertility | Hot flashes, headaches, extreme ovulation pain, spotting before period | Took 50mg for 2 cycles, ovulated 1st cycle, did not on second, have been moved up to 100mg and still waiting. Am taking on Cycle days 5-9 | F | 21 | 2 months | 6/16/2005 | 5 | infertilly | none (slight weight gain) | i ovulated for the first time in 5 years and became pregnant within 2 months did suffer with low placenta which resulted in 3 stays in hospital dont know if this was related though. | F | 25 | 2 months | 7/18/2005 | 2 | unexplained infertility | I had the pms rage effects - horrible mood swings. I also experienced tender/bloated abdominal discomfort around ovulation. After 3 months I am still bloated and my abdomen seems larger. | I took the 50mg for 3 months and was ovulating, but didn't get pregnant. | F | 35 | 3 months | 10/5/2005 | 3 | Infertility, Induce Ovulation | Headaches, some blurred vision (not bad) sore boobs, emotional, tired HOT FLASHES | I knew about the side effects before taking it so none were a suprise and all were tolerable except the hot flashes. Geesh. But all worth it even though I didn't ovulate. Going back to try again next month :) | F | 25 | 2 months | 10/20/2005 | 3 | PCOS | Migraiane like headaches...all day. Loss of appetite and just want to sleep all day | this is only day 1 and i just took another one this evening...hope this doesn't last for the 5 days!! | F | 34 | 1 days | 10/21/2005 | 4 | LPD-Luteal Phase Deficiency | Headaches, Ovarian Cyst, Minor Mood Swings, Bloating of Abdomen, and Cramping. | This is my first month on Clomid, 50 mgs cycle day (cd) 5 - 9. I fell within the 5% of women who suffer ovarian cysts during their treatment within my first month. Very painful cd 16 through 18. This has likely the reason for my unsuccessful cycle. However, I'm currently on cd 30, and all pregnancy tests have shown negative, so just waiting to go again on same dosage this next cycle. My cycles were only lasting 23 days prior to this cycle. My progesterone level on cd 21 was 1.5 which is horrible...This month, cd 21 I had a level of 37.9 which is unusually high (I'm no doctor, but believe this could be an inaccurate "cd 21" reading, due to ovarian cyst rupturing on cd 16 leaving my progesterone higher than a normal cd 21 reading). However, my issue being LPD appears to be quite resolved, simply for the fact that I’m on cd 30. Also, the cramping I’ve been experiencing for the past few days reminds me so much of my youth, I believe I’m returning to my former fe | F | 33 | 1 months | 10/23/2005 | 2 | anovulatory | I am already a migraine sufferer. Clomid made the migraines worse to the point that sometimes I could not stand up. Nausea and cramping also side effects as well as mood swings. Was told by my doctor there are no side effects. | Depression has also been a problem but could be due to the migraines. Frequent migraines can bring on depression for me. Prior to the Clomid, my migraines were under control. | F | 38 | 3 months | 11/15/2005 | 4 | PCOS (aligo-ovulation - 3/yr) | (written on day 23)50g per day day 2-6. Mild breast pain from day 14-21, very emotional from day 10 onwards. Mild back pain from day 14 (possibly PMT), swollen breasts from day 14, mild nausea. | Tablets taste disgusting, advise users to take them with milk | F | 32 | 1 months | 12/9/2005 | 4 | PCOS Infertility | Slightly warmer at night (Not miserable as I expected from others side effects). Actually feel good, NO mood swings (I usually have TERRIBLE PMS!)The only other thing I can feel is a little dull ache in my uterus area -- like something is working down there! | This is my first month taking Clomid (50mg) I am on day 4 of 5 right now. I already ovulate but have anywhere from 4.5 to 9.5 progesterone (after ovulation) So hopefully it will help with that. | F | 34 | 4 days | 12/12/2005 | 5 | Anovulation | Periodic feelings of slight dizziness, hostile CM. | Worked! One month at 50mg (5-9) resulted in pregnancy. | F | 30 | 5 days | 12/19/2005 | 3 | infertility | Abdominal bloating and cramping. Nauseous, overly emotional, short tempered. Minor headaches, insomnia, hot flashes. | 100 mg days 5-9. Side effects last from day 5 through ovulation, except for cramping which lasts entire cycle. Menses is extremely heavy and clotted. I have been ovulating and have a regular cycle since taking this medication. Still not pregnant, but it did make me ovulate so I am somewhat satisfied with this medication. | F | 32 | 3 months | 1/9/2006 |
CLOMID (CLOMIPHENE CITRATE): This medication is used to treat infertility in women. It works by stimulating an increase in the amount of hormones that support the growth and release of a mature egg (ovulation). This medication is not recommended for women whose ovaries no longer make eggs properly (primary pituitary or ovarian failure). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
