| 3 | Low ovarian reserve | First cycle was awful, mood swings, nauseous 1 week until ovulation. The day of ovulation was terrible, crying for no reason, hot (very) flashes, headaches, muscle aches all over, dizziness. Now on 2nd cycle and absolutely no side effects so far so I guess it depends. | Not sure about the outcome yet because I'm not pregnant yet! I still have to finish this cycle and 2 more cycles to come. | F | 29 | 2 months | 1/5/2008 | 1 | unexplained infertility | Horrible mood swings, insane hot flashes which would then make me crazier, tremendous pain with ovulation | Used it for 4 cycles, and i hated every minute of it. It also left me with a giant cyst that took over my right ovary. I ended up back on birth control to supress the cyst and still had to have it drained. | F | 29 | 4 months | 1/3/2008 | 2 | Unexplained infertility | Took two cycles only. Side effects got progressively worse with each cycle: Nausea, hot flashes, sweating, cramping, abdominal pain, ovulatory pain, chills, muscle, teeth, and bone aches, some irritability/ moodiness; bloating, shortened AF (1st month 4 days, 2nd month only 3 days)--so I assume my uterine lining was thin. | Still bloated, nauseous and crampy, even after stopping treatment. | F | 38 | 5 days | 12/6/2007 | 3 | PCOS | seriously nauseous. Just want to get out of the office and go home to bed. Can't think about eating anything. Also feel very dehydrated. | Only on 4th day of first cycle (days 2-6).... I hope it's worth it! | F | 32 | 4 days | 12/3/2007 | 4 | short luteal phase | Not positive these are all related with Clomid, but this cycle I have been peeing A LOT, I haven't been sleeping well (no hot flases, though) and I was very irritable the week after taking Clomid. | This is my first cycle with Clomid. My dr. wants it to help me ovulate earlier in my cycle (I usually ovulate around CD20) and I have a LP of about 8 days long. I took 50mg on CD5 through 9. I am now 4 DPO, so we'll see! If I am not pregnant, I will increase to 100mg next cycle. | F | 28 | 5 days | 11/29/2007 | 4 | not ovulating | I am 35, and I have not had any side effects, other than I am ovulating now. I started on 25 mg and then went up to 50 mg. | F | 35 | 2 months | 11/29/2007 | 5 | Unexplained Infertility | Hot flashes, nausea, cramping, fatigue, frequent urination, emotional, etc. | I had every side effect you can think of, however now I have this beautiful little boy who was born November 16th, 2007 to show for all the rough times. Its well worth it. | F | 22 | 5 days | 11/26/2007 | 3 | Not ovulating | Visual disturbances, light headed, fatigue, headachey, irritable | TTC 2nd time round. First pregnancy happened without trying. This is my 4th round of Clomid. First round (50mg)I didn't ovulate despite the eggs growing to reasonable size. 2nd round monitored and was given pregnyl to stimlulate ovulation but we waited a bit too long to see if I would ovulate on my own so pregnyl was given when eggs were just a big too big. Then 3rd round everything looked perfect and we tried AI. My period was 3 days late which I'm told is a good sign... luteal phase longer.... Anyway, giving it another shot. On day 3 of the clomid. We really would like a 2nd and I couldnt do this if my hubby wasn't so understanding and patient!! Hanging in there... | F | 34 | 4 months | 11/21/2007 | 3 | trying to conceive | No severe side effects, but around pms time, symptoms are stronger than usual--including fatigue, mood swings, feeling emotional, and painful swollen breasts. Also, I occasionally got feelings in my extremities (hands and feet) that felt a little like bolts of electricity only when doing more strenuous exercise. Perhaps that was my version of hot flashes. | I took 50 mg for 5 days a month, for treatment in conjunction with an IUI. It certainly worked, as I produced 2-3 eggs/month. And even though the side effects were not severe, I felt like this last month because I had more external stress factors, I felt the most emotional from the Clomid. Since this was my 3rd month in conjunction with an IUI, which I have a feeling has likely failed, we will probably move on to IVF for our situation. I am glad to stop Clomid because even though the side effects were not severe, you still don't feel quite yourself sometimes. | F | 32 | 3 months | 11/16/2007 | 3 | not getting pregnant | Nothing really. I took it for five days (3-7) and on day one, I noticed a strong sense of smell. The last two days, I did get headaches, sorta like the ones you get right before your period. | We have been trying to have a baby for about two years. My husband was diagnosed with sperm slow motility but other tests showed he was ok. I have regular periods but the doctor put me on clomid to help get this pregnancy going. | F | 36 | 5 days | 11/14/2007 | 3 | Infertility | dizziness, fatigue, very emotional, nightsweats | hi everyone. i'm on day 4 of clomid. monday i go in for a sonogram and the shot to induce o. then wednesday is the IUI. a little anxious but i've heard lots of good things about clomid. so i have my fingers crossed! | F | 31 | 4 days | 11/13/2007 | 3 | regulate ovulation | Mood swings, hot flashes | This is my 3rd round of Clomid. It makes me slightly more emotional than a normal cycle along w/ some hot flashes. I am on my CD3 today so my first dose. I am really hoping this time is a charm! | F | 34 | 5 days | 11/7/2007 | 4 | Unexplained Infertility | hot flashes at night, emotional, can't sleep, headache. | My husband and I have been trying for 2-1/2 years with no luck. All of our tests have come back fine, so we are trying clomid now. I've heard a lot of crazy things and I have terrible PMS, but I haven't had any significantly bad side effects. All that I've listed are quite mild. While I am emotional, I'm not irritable. This is my first cycle on clomid and I'm on day 7 (5-9). We're very optimistic about it & hopefully we'll get a sweet result sooner than later. | F | 24 | 3 days | 11/5/2007 | 3 | Been trying 1 yr to get pregnant | HOT FLASHES- I sleep in the nude w/ no covers and still sweat, this is my 2nd round, today I am on day 5 and my headache is unbelievable, I did a google search for Clomid + Headache and got here. I took 2 advil and the pain is still immense. Mood swings- 1 minute I am crying my eyes out, next madder than hell, and weight gain, I have been so hungry. I did ovulate on day 14 last month but did not get pregnant. I am 37, if it does not work this month - no way am I doing it again. I'll move onto injection's and IUI | F | 37 | 2 months | 11/2/2007 | 2 | Not ovulating | Dizziness-Mood swings-Hot all the time | This is the second month of taking it. The first I did not ovulate at 100mg. I am on day 8 so I'll have to wait and see. | F | 28 | 2 days | 11/1/2007 | 4 | Infertility | Hot flashes, slight headache, & sore swollen breast. | We haven't gotten pregnant yet but ovulation has improved. | F | 27 | 3 months | 10/30/2007 | 4 | to get pregnant | Headaches, night hot flashes, some abd pain | 2005 successful pregnancy, 2007 miscarrage, OB/GYN tried post coitals (sperm dead upon arrival) then clomid 50mg for 3 months. Referred me to RE who did clomid challenge (100 mg) and ultrasound showed ovulation on day 12 therefore insemination was done that day and we are now anxiously waiting to see if we are PG! My freind took Clomid and is now PG with twins only after one dose of 50mg (she also has twins in her family). | F | 34 | 4 months | 10/19/2007 | 3 | Not Ovulating | cramping | I am on month 2 of clomid 50 mg days 5-9. I ovulated on day 11 the first month and day 18 this second month so you may need another type of device such as the clearblue fertility monitor. This will help to pinpoint the day of ovulation. | F | 27 | 2 months | 10/19/2007 | 4 | secondary tcc | 1st metalic taste in mouth; then fatigue and bloating; next weight gain and frequent urination; PMS-type mood swings and sweat/chill and skin breakouts. All in all a total downer, except that going on it the first time (age 36) got us our ds! | if you're symptomatic ask your dr about splittin pills and taking only 25mg. 150mg seems like way too much, even for egg donor--hope she's getting compensation, hope we're all getting pg soon! | F | 39 | 5 days | 10/17/2007 | 5 | annovulatory cycles | Metallic taste in mouth, food aversions, fatigue (pretty significant) and sense of smell increased. | I got pregnant 8 years ago on 2nd round of med. This time I am on cycle 1 and the side effects are worse now that I am older, but definately tolerable! | F | 34 | 5 days | 10/16/2007 |
