| 1 | Fertility | I would not recommend this drug to anyone stay away from it. I had minor hot flashes the 5days I was taking it. The side effects came after finishing my dose : panic attacks, horrible anxiety, mood disturbance. I hope this is temporary and will go away after I get my period. Only positive thing is I ovulated white on clomid hope I am pregnant | It is so bad I can't function properly as I am having severe panic attacks randomly. I also feel like something funny is happening around my chest area. | F | 36 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 10/19/2022 | 1 | Trying to Conceive | It is too soon to tell if this worked as I finished my fifth and final dose yesterday, but I do want to provide caution on the mental effects. My doctor warned that it could cause depression and anxiety and I should've taken that warning more seriously. Similarly to another experience posted, I have been experiencing sever depression and hopelessness for the past 2 days. I just want to cry and be alone. I think about how short life is and what we are all doing here. This is very unlike me. It is so bad, I had to book an appointment for a therapist. Hoping it works because I will not do another round on Clomid. | Trying to conceive since April 2020. Miscarried at 7 weeks in September 2020. Experienced a chemical pregnancy in March 2021. Ovulating with no underlying conditions. My doctor suggested Clomid to increase and speed up my chances of a successful pregnancy. | F | 36 | 5 days 50 MG 1X day | 6/20/2021 | 1 | Ttc | Fluid in my uterus, and serious pains in lower abdomen and back | Not a good one | F | 28 | 2 days 50 1X day | 1/11/2021 | 1 | To get pregnant | I wanted to die!. I've never in my life had a negative thought or anxiety until I took clomiphene. After the 2 day I felt sad and scared then I couple more day pass after finishing my last does on the 5 day is when everything really started. I started feeling really scared to my core and depressed about getting old and knowing that the time we have on this earth is so short I felt what is the point of life and everything eventually we are going to die. And other negative scare thoughts. I've never felt this way in my life I didn't know what depression was till the day I took clomiphene. I'm on 10th day after the last 100ml I took, my side effects are still there mild but there i still feel and think about those thoughts and the anxiety is there I'm so scared this damaged me permanently. Can I recover!! Please someone. | It's my first time taking this medication and never again. It's not as bad as the first week on clomiphene but I still don't fine joy in the little things in life like I used to its so hard to feel any hope. | 34 | 5 days 100 1X day | 12/2/2020 | 1 | not ovulating | i wasnt having any side effects until CD15 which is 8days after i finished my last pill, i took clomid days 3-7 100mg and now i am dizzy and cannot eat at all, i still havent even ovulated so idk if im going to | F | 21 | 5 days 100 mg 1X day | 11/16/2020 | 1 | Trying to conceive | Extreme Moodswings. Light/no period (or brown blood) Sent me to er Almost lost my life | I woke up in extreme pain . Sharp stabbing pain in my belly. I felt as if I couldn't move my body. Coughing, sneezing felt like I was getting stabbed to death. Extreme nausea. After an xRay found My belly and abdomin was full of fluid . And I was rushed to emergency surgery because the doctors couldn't find out the problem. After doing my own research I found out side effects of clomid is "fluid in stomach" Maybe my doctor had me on clomid too long . Idk but I almost lost my life thanksgiving of 2019 | F | 28 | 12 months 12.5 1X day | 11/1/2020 | 1 | Unexplained infertility | Extreme anxiety and panic attacks. Literally thought I was loosing my mind. Had thoughts of suicide and all around doom about every situation. | Took Clomid for the 5 days and followed with Estradiol (was supposed to be for 5 more days) Only got through 2 days. On day 2 of taking Estradiol I started to have an increase in heart rate, negative thoughts raised through my mind and I had an over all feeling of doom. As days followed I got worse with constant anxiety and panic attacks. My mind just went dark and I felt like this was going to be this way forever. I would get sort amounts of relief but it would come back. I have been admitted to the ER and have had many doctors trying to figure out what is happening. All they do is throw you meds and tell you that you are depressed. The thing is I was 100% fine before this and no history of depression, anxiety, or panic attacks. I am on month 2 and I am slowly getting better but this has been the scariest experience of my life, I pray that as time goes on it will go away completely and if you are going through this lean on God. Only reason why I am getting through this. I do not recommend this drug!!!! | F | 33 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 10/15/2020 | 1 | PCT | Fine for the first week .

Dull pain in the pelvic region and lower back for a week after my period ended. | I was put on an aggressive course of Clomid for my 4th IUI cycle. I was prescribed 150mg/day for 5 days. Did not conceive, ended up with painful cramps all through the period and a continued dull pain in the pelvic region. Did an ultrasound, no ohss, doctors now blame sensitivity to Clomid. | F | 36 | 5 days 150mg 1X day | 8/3/2020 | 1 | Multiple miscarriages and baby died | Tried Clomid to speed a process after we had four miscarriages due to endometriosis and our baby died due to poor medical treatment. Baby was healthy but Dr. dropped the ball. My side effects were super high blood pressure, anxiety, poor sleep, super bad cramps prior to AF, Slight moodiness but not very much, helped me ovulate sooner.

Dr Just said try it. Husband has low count. I had 4 babies no problem when I was younger then conception stopped suddenly and my dr finds nothing wrong with me. (Need a new dr) I felt great, except hot flashes like mad, until ovulation time. I ended up in the ER both months I took it because I grew multiple huge ovarian cysts bleeding into my guts caused by clomid! The pain is unreal! The first month I ovulated 2 times with crazy pain and cysts for a week. Had sex constantly even tho it was soooo painful. Didn’t get pregnant. The 2nd month it all got worse. The cysts are so big my ovary is blocking my poop! I have a fever! Can’t walk, can’t sleep, can’t have sex to even get pregnant. My abdomen is puffed out and full of gas. My rectum, cervix and uterus feel like they’re going to fall out. I’m bed ridden now ! The cysts aren’t going away! I was 100lbs and bikini ready. Active. Now I look like I need a moo moo. Only took it for 2 months! My husband and I agree we are not using clomid again. He has missed a lot of work caring for me. | I’d say if you can run the risk of not being able to get up from bed to eat, pee and go to work and pay your bills...then by all means take it. | F | 40 | 5 days 50MG | 1/6/2020 | 1 | Dr Peress in Boca-"try an IUI Cycle | omg- my first two nights at (2) 50 mg I felt great but like my brain was reorganizing itself ir like I was on psychotropic drugs. By night 3 i felt like crap and then stopped and did not take night 4. I had NO known hormonal imbalances and my TPO was elevated before being prescribed this drug-- Thyroid Peroxidase....i later read it was contraindicated if you have adrenal or thyroid sensitivities... my dr ignored it. he was a pompous ignoramous.... my skin started to feel like it was burning after i shot up with ovidrel adn my heart started to palpitate - i spend all day at the cardiologist office with tachacardia ... I have been a whole month off of this and my pulse still seems to be racing daily and my thyroid glands feel swollen and my adrenals seem shot, like ive had 4 cups of coffee... | don't take this poison- esp if u don't have a hormonal problem to begin with - or if u do, definitely don't take it- it seems like a god awful drug that is posioning people and leaving them with side effects like Parathesis--- permanent tingling of the right limb and other side effects ...Let's all start a Class Action Lawsuit | F | 40 | 3 days 100mg nite | 6/17/2018 | 1 | male infertility | Horrific mood starting day 3, just overall sense of feeling doom, was tense at everything, tense at noises and bad news. Gets worse at night and would boil into panic attacks and make sleeping extremely difficult. I'd wake up feeling unrefreshed and in a very depressed mood. The anxiety is the worst. If you've had had anxiety or panic attacks in the past, you'd understand what I'm talking about. On top of all this, I noticed this drug's also made me: have heartburn and generally slower digestion/constipation, made me come down with some cold for a few days, gave me a weird taste in my mouth. | God this drug is nasty, it messed with my mind so much, those types of side effects are the scariest! If your doctor suggests this, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT take it it'll screw up your life for sure. | M | 33 | 8 days 12.5 1X day | 10/20/2017 | 1 | Weight gain..Hot flushes, weird dreams/nightmares, headaches and bad bloating | Didn't work for me at all | F | 30 | 5 days 50 | 9/26/2016 | 1 | Ovulation | Extreme cramping on both or one side of my ovaries.

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)
