| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CLOMID | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | Infertility | NONE! Well, maybe a little bloating/slight headache but that also could've been side effects from my period | I am on my first cycle (50 mgs, days 5-9) but feel better emotionally than before I took it. We'll see what happens | F | 32 | | 3/18/2007 | 4 | Not ovulating | I had no side effects while taking my first 5 day cycle of 50mgs. However, when I finished the cycle I began to notice becoming increasingly irritable, depressed, and forgetful. The hot flashes are frequent as well. I am also super tired. I also experience some cramping, but nothing too serious. | It seems that the side effects are different for everyone. It is nice to have some cramping again. It gives the hope that something is happening. | M | 28 | | 4/4/2008 | 4 | unexplained infertility | I really did not experience any bad side effects with my first cycle of clomid 50 mg. The drug actually made me feel more attentive and energetic. | I start my second cycle of clomid 50 mg on Friday. The first cycle(CD 5-9) helped to produce 3 follicles but no success with pregnancy. Have been ttc over 1 year now. Hoping for success with clomid. | F | 34 | | 4/24/2007 | 3 | Anovulation/fertility issues | After second dose (at 100mg), very mild vague lower abdominal pain. Mild hot flashes. The pain subsided during the day and was gone by the end of the 5 day course. My RE wasn't concerned about it. I also noticed I felt a little tired and just a little 'off', not really my normal self. | I have taken a course of Clomid before but it was not timed correctly, I was foolish to stick with my family doctor until I went to a clinic. I recommend: if you are the the point of requiring Clomid, see a Reproductive Endocrinologist because you may require monitoring or more investigations. If you are taking Clomid, try to remind yourself often why you are taking the Clomid and forgive yourself immediately for any bad moods or feelings you are experiencing. The side effects should last during the five day course and you may have more intense PMS/Ovulation symptoms after. | F | 29 | | 8/21/2007 | 3 | get pregnant | im fixin to start my first cycle!! any advice or tip?? | 22 | | 6/24/2007 | 3 | Not ovulating | Headaches, dizziness, insomnia | The side effects didn't show up until about five days after the last dose. Third month of 100mg and not pregnant. | F | 41 | | 7/21/2007 | 3 | for mature follicles | Headaches, hot flushes, night sweats, weight gain, bloating | The side affects are fine, i can cope so im sure anyone else can! TTC for 5 yrs, now on 2nd round of clomid..first month felt ovulation, very intense pain and bloating,hurt to walk and very sore breasts after ov. It will be worth it in the end ;-), second month didnt feel ov, no symptoms what so ever,maybe i didnt ov? Good luck all | F | 24 | 50 1X day | 4/28/2011 | 2 | infertility | No side effects | Didn't work. Tried this medication 6 different times and never got pregnant. Tried 2 of those times with Metforman. The doctor will only let me try it one more time before she can't anymore. I feel it isn't worth it. I have heard wonderful stories about this drug but didn't do a thing for me and still have not gotten pregnant. | F | 29 | 1X day | 3/5/2011 | 2 | infertility | headaches,tiredness | F | 32 | | 11/3/2002 | 2 | infertility | hot flashes, headaches, major mittelschmerz, weight gain, swollen hands/feet. no pregnancy after 4 months of clomid. | I am taking and herbal detox to flush this crap out of my system. I'll try IVF before I go on clomid again! | F | 41 | | 4/23/2006 | 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 | 4 | unexplained infertility | Did not experience any side effects on days 5-9. However, around ovulation I experienced moderate cramping for 2 days and became very "weepy" and experienced extreme mood swings. | Don't know how successful. This is my first round. We've been TTC for 2 years, so hopefully this will help! | F | 35 | 1 times | 1/17/2006 | 3 | Unable to conceive | Extreme Bloating, Bad Tempered, Angry, insomnia | This is my first time taking Clomid. I have a 12 yr old son.. but have had a new partner for the last few years and have not fallen pregnant in this time. I never had regular periods, so its always been hard. I am currently on day 14. I took Clomid on day 3-7 and found that i had a postive reading on my ovulation predictor test on day 11.. which i thought was a little early. I have only noticed my side effects over the last 2 days. My partner has pointed it out to me, that i'm angry and moody, and he's been avoiding me!! I do agree now with this, but the worst of it is the bloating... i cant sleep, and feel terrible.. lets hope i can get a good result in a few weeks though :-) | F | 30 | 1 times | 2/1/2008 | 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 | Hot flashes, thirsty, distinct Ovulatory pains, severe abdominal discomfort and bloating around ovulation | I was on 50 mg clomid days 3 thro'7. I ovulated both times, but did not conceive. I'm moving on and consulting a RE to figure out whats going on with me! | F | 30 | 2 times | 5/3/2006 | 2 | Fertility | Abdominal pain, extreme bloating and weight gain. Some moodiness.. Tired.. | Have always had normal cycles but not able to conceive easily. RE has me on clomid while doing IUI, have done 3 cycles of clomid (day 3-7) no pregnancy. But feeling real fat around the stomach! Very annoying | F | 37 | 3 times | 11/7/2006 | 1 | Infertility | dizziness & fatigue | I took it for 3 rounds. After the 3rd round the side effects never went away. The doctor told me that it wasn't the drug causing me to feel sick. After 7 months of visiting every doctor under the sun (and having a bunch of tests), they finally diagnosed me with a-typical migraines. I don't have the headaches but have a bunch of the other symptoms. They believe it was caused by a hormone imbalance from the Clomid. I stopped trying to get pregnant because I felt so bad. I am on migraine meds now and am going to find a new infertility doctor! | F | 36 | 3 times | 6/13/2007 | 5 | No ovulation | severe hot flashes, mood swings, pain while ovulating | I have had 3 clomid conceptions so it works great for me. The first time I took clomid I took it for 5 months and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Second time I took it 3 months and had an ectopic pregnancy, really hard to deal with. Third time I took it 2 months and I am currently 13 weeks pregnant. | F | 26 | 5 times | 5/29/2007 | 3 | cant get pregnant | HOT FLASHES, moody, cry easily, weight gain, headaches etc!! | i got preg first time on my own & miscarried. after a while of trying, my dr put me on clomid. after the first round i got pregnant & miscarried. i decided not to try or think about it at all probably for a 9 months... right around the time baby would be due & then started trying again. after a few months got back on clomid. after 5 months and no pregnancy i'm giving it a rest again. it's to much disappointment. i'm going to give it a try again soon, in the mean time we're keeping our fingers crossed for the old fashioned way to work. | F | 28 | 6 times | 6/26/2007 | 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 |
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)
