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)

 3  Trying to Conceive None to speak of. I am on my second round of Clomid. My first round I took 50 mg tablets on days 3-7 of my cycle. I took a progesterone test 21 days into my cycle and tests show I did not ovulate. This time I am taking 100 mg tablets on days 3-7 and really hoping this works! My husband and I have been trying for over a year and every month I anxiously await the absence of a period...are there any success stories out there? F 26 2 months

 3  Unexplained Infertility Last month was the first time taking Clomid. I was put on 50 mg for 5 days and I started on day 5 of my period. I had headaches and that's about it. Well, sad to say, but the 50 mg did not work. I started my period today. Totally bummed. =( Been TTC for over 2 years now and I'm dread the thought of having to go through IUI and then IVF if that does not work. This month, I will be on 100 mg for 5 days. Good luck and baby dust to everyone here! F 31 1 months

 5  Not Ovulating Nausea After Every Meal, Crazy Depression, Hot Flashes at night, Mood Swings, Lower Back Pain, Blurred Vision, Dizziness, Fatigue I'm 5'6 and 114lb so I have this crazy sensitivity to meds and the Clomid side effects really have changed my overall persona. But I really really want to start a family and my husband deploys to Afghanistan soon so we started the treatment after discovering my 'defect' of not ovulating. I just finished the 4th month of 5 months and have lost the 'joy' of trying to have a baby. F 23 5 months

 5  No ovulation blurry vision, saw flashes in my vision, and one night i had the WORST cramps, I couldnt even get out of bed or sit up, I couldnt even push to pee! I only really had blurry vision and sometimes I would see flashes. Had the 100 mg dose from days 5 to 10. I had at least 15 follicles,so many that the doctor had to get her nurse to bring a pen and paper to write down each follicle and the size of it! The doctor advised me to not have intercourse this time around because my chances of having high number of multiples was insane. So next cycle I will just take 50 mg!! F 22 5 days

 4  recurrent miscarriages Mild headaches and some hot flashes I highly recommend taking the medicine when you go to sleep at night to lessen the side effects as per pharmacist's suggestion. The first time using the drug, we got pregnant, but miscarried at 6 weeks. Taking it currently days 5-9 of cycle. Hope this time works! F 34 2 months

 3  PCOS Im not sure if they are side effects or what because I started experiencing them about a week or two after I took the medication. I've had hot flashes, breast tenderness, cramping, and moodiness, weight gain and increased discharge. I just started taking it at the beginning of Nov. on days 5-9 I ovulated but I am not sure if i am pregnant or just having side effects. My husband and I have been trying to have a second child since our daughter was 2 and today she's 5 so I hope this works cause this is it. F 24 1 months

 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

 3  unexplained infertility I have had hot flashes morning sickness and headaches and definately abdominal pain 2 days after I have taken clomid. I'm still just gone be patient and see what the outcome comes out to be but it does give you the side effects definately. I was on 50mg of clomid and it is really working but I have a 9yr old girl but the doctor says that my estrogen level was low so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a second child and much luck to everone else who is trying.
