This is my last cycle at 200 mg and if it doesn't work then on to injections. But it was successful in helping my ovulate when i couldn't. | F | 26 | 1 years | 4/9/2009 | 3 | irregular ovulation | hot flushes, dizziness, depression, short tempered, light headed, constantly tired. | I hope I never have to take it again, the only thing keeping me going is having a baby at the end of it. | F | 27 | 13 months | 4/17/2007 | 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 | 3 | no ovulation | Occasional feelings of nausea, bad bloating and cramping in abdomen, headaches, moody, tired | I conceived after 1st month on clomid but miscarried and have been taking it ever since. I really hope it works, some months however OPK still show no ovulation, which can be really hard on us both after suffering side effects. | F | 31 | 9 months 100mg a 1X day | 1/5/2011 | 4 | infertility | None except for being "itchy". Head to toe- my armpits and legs felt like i had severe razor burn- I just felt itchy head to toe! No other explanation for it | Used clomid for 3 cycles: 1st 50mg did not O- so went up to 100 mg next time- 3rd cycle of 100 mg I got pregnant but it only lasted about 8 weeks before I had a missed miscarriage- which means I went in to get my first ultrasound and they said "There is no baby anymore" then I had a d&c. I just started back on my first cycle of clomid since the D&C which was in Jan 07. | F | 29 | 8 months | 4/22/2007 | 3 | Anovulation due to PCOS | Fatigue, mood swings, bloating and pain around ovaries, headaches, highly emotional. | I was diagnosed with PCOS in January 2007 and immediately prescribed clomid to assist with ovulation (taken on days 2-6 of cycle, which in turn was induced by Provera). The initial 50mg dose had no effect, and was increased to 100mg for the second cycle. This did induce ovulation, resulting in pregnancy, though I went on to miscarry at 6 weeks. When I again took the 100mg dose, subsequent to the miscarriage, it did not work. My consultant recommended an operation called laparoscopic ovarian drilling to remove the cysts. This was at the beginning of June, and the hope was that I would begin to ovulate naturally after the operation (as is the case for 80% - 90% of women). Unfortunately I did not and am currently on a cycle of 50mg of clomid and keeping my fingers crossed. Determined to remain optimistic, though becoming increasingly frustrated by the impact fertility treatment is having on my life. My husband has been amazingly understanding, loving and supportive throughout the past 8 m | F | 28 | 8 months | 8/3/2007 | 3 | PCOS & Annovulation | Moody & emotional. Nauseated all the time; occasional migraines. At least I have a regular cycle on clomid. Before clomid I never had a regular period, except for on the pill. | I am currently on 100 mg on days 3-7. Last month I "surged" for the first time ever while tracking. I hope this will finally prove useful for pregnancy. | F | 24 | 8 months | 1/22/2008 | 3 | No ovulation | Side effects for me was facial hair years later. 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 day | 9/27/2014 | 1 | to get pregnant | Terrible mood swings, headaches and depression. After clomid, periods became irregular. | Do yourself a favor and see a reproductive endocronologist rather that an OB-GYN if you are having trouble trying to conceive, it will save you money and heartache. | F | 32 | 7 months 50-100 1X day | 11/7/2010 | 4 | INFERTILITY - LOW OVULATION | HEADACHES, NOT MUCH MORE CRAMPING THAN WHEN I HAD A PERIOD DEFINITE WEIGHT GAIN | I'M NOW IN MY 6TH MONTH OF TAKING CLOMID AND SO FAR I'M NOT PREGNANT, VERY MUCH DISAPPOINTED BUT WILL KEEP TRYING. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND CLOMID, IT DOES WORK FOR OVULATION. | F | 29 | 6 months | 4/9/2007 | 4 | to get pregnant | hot flushes, nausea, mood swings, needing to go the loo alot | I have now been trying for a 3rd baby for 2 years and have been taking clomid for the last 6 months and and day 18 in my cycle but not hopeful of a pregnancy. The last two times I took clomid I got pregnant both times on 100gm in the first month but does not seem to be working this time. I am coming off after this cycle and we might try iui or ivf | F | 36 | 6 months | 10/1/2006 | 4 | Irregular Ovulation | Extreme mood swings, Headaches, Severe hunger, Weight Gain, and extra cramping during ovulation. | Also caused regular length cycles. Brought a 15 day bleeding period down to a normal 3-5 day period. Of course, you feel like everyone says a pregnant lady does... so I guess be prepared. | F | 22 | 6 months | 5/25/2009 | 3 | Low Progesterone | Very emotional. Could cry over anything. Also my temper was short at times. Depressed a lot as well. My ovaries would hurt quite a bit around ovulation time. | One thing my Dr did not tell me was that Clomid can dry you out and that this prevents the sperm from being able to stay alive and travel into your cervix and find your egg. I wish I would have known this at the beginning so that I could try something different. I had an hsg done which was very painful and the day after, had dry grey film in my vagina. It scared me and the dr' told me to douche and it will flush it all out. They acted like they had never heard of that before. I did douche and within a few days I was fine. I think it was because I was soooo dry inside from the Clomid that they dye stuck in there. WARNING: If Clomid makes you dry, you need to tell your Dr you need somthing to help you produce the correct fluids to help the sperm swim! And, read the book "Taking Charge of Your Own Fertility". It is a life changer. I have been trying for 2 years and just read the book a few months ago. Took Clomid for 6 months. My progesterone levels were way up but | F | 30 | 6 months | 5/30/2007 | 2 | To Help ovulation | I have experienced really bad night sweats, dizzyness, painfull headaches, bloating | This is our 6th month TTC on clomid, my husband and i have been trying for over 2 years and are now starting to loose hope, its heartbreaking every month when i get my period, i hope this last month on clomid is our month | F | 32 | 6 months 50mg 1X day | 9/10/2011 | 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 | 1 | to get pregnant | Major unbearable left side pain and when I say pain its like bad period pains times 50. Constant backache and constantly painful bloating | F | 30 | 6 months 50mg | 6/5/2016 | 1 | Conceive | Severe pain | F | 24 | 6 months 100mg | 6/22/2020 | 1 | Infertility | Constant Blurred Vision, dark spot on eye | Taking Clomid to increase sperm count. No noticable increase in 6 months. | M | 33 | 6 months | 11/27/2006 |
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)
