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)

 5  Secondary Infertility Slight irritability, no other side effects 4 years after having our first child we started TTC #2. After no luck for a year, my OB suggested trying Clomid. I took Clomid CD 3-7 and ovulated on CD 15, and 13DPO got the results I was praying for. I'm currently 5 months pregnant with a little girl! F 27 5 days

 5  PCOS/Infertility I didn't have any side effects last time. This time will be determined... I had used clomid to get pregnant with my first son, and it was my saving grace! When we first tried to get pregnant, I stopped ovulating and having periods completely. After a frustrating year, I found a new Dr. that was willing to help me. I used Provera, then clomid. It took us 5 months on clomid to concieve, which is longer than the estimated 3 months, but it worked!! My next step was surgery for endometriosis, and I'm glad I didn't have to resort to that (although I've heard a lot of people have success with it, it wouldn't have worked for me since I'm also PCOS) I am using it again to try for baby #2. Once again, as soon as we started trying, I stopped having cycles. So here's to starting my cycles back up and hopefully having a Halloween baby!! F 25 5 days

 5  TTC Severe lower back pain while ovulating, but other than that, nothing really. My husband and I have a 4 year old daughter and have been TTC for over a year now. My doctor prescribed 50mg of Clomid days 3-7 and it worked the first time. Sadly, I miscarried 10 days later. Now, I took 100mg days 3-7. I got a positive OPT yesterday on CD 13, and am hoping to be pregnant again and not miscarry. I will update later. Good luck to you all! F 27 5 days

 5  TTC No side effects while taking the Clomid but I had HORRIBLE cramps during ovulation. But it made me ovulate so it worked :) Had been trying to conceive for 8 months with very erratic periods. I was not ovulating so my obgyn started me on Provera and then Clomid cd5-9. According to my opk I ovulated on cd18! go tomorrow for my progesterone day 21 bloodwork to confirm ovulation. Hopefully we'll be having a positive preg test soon too! F 33 5 days

 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

 4  secondary unexplained infertility I have had major headaches and a feeling of being in a fog. I hadn't driven while taking it, and went to the store about 20 minutes after taking it and ran a stop light. I've never done that before. I completely stopped and then just went through the light. It makes me slightly drowsy and irritable, but tolerable. I've also had some tightness in my chest, but it may be from my allergies and sinus issues. Hoping it works! I am doing an IUI with follistim, too. F 28 5 days

 5  PCOS/MC's My 1st cycle of clomid caused serious hot flashes and mood swings. I did feel a little bloated but did not have these effects so severe that I would not continue meds. The good news is I only took it for 2 cycles. Clomid was a miracle med for me. I had a 11yr old daughter and was 30 with several m/c's. After the second cycle of 50mg's day 5-9, I became pregnant and he is now a healthy 2yr old! I am actually going to start clomid again on my next cycle. I would recommend taking this medication because no one knows what the side effects may be for them or if it will or will not work until you try! Sorry for those who it did not work for but to not recommend it is reaching a bit! If you are seriously ttc and can get this med, take it!! F 33 5 days

 3  fertility boost VERY painful during ovulation for 2 months. Had really short periods for 3 months afterwards (lasted only 1-3 days), libido went to nothing for 2 months, thinned my uterine lining, and did not get pregnant. Also had mild mood swings while taking it and for about 6 weeks afterwards. My NP told me I should never have been given clomid at my age, that I should have gone straight for injectables. Doctor disagreed. Does not matter since I tried all kinds of ways and never did conceive. I have since given up. F 39 5 days

Patient History
 2  PCOS/infertility I have taken two rounds of Clomid. The first round, I felt a little nauseus and I had a migraine 2 days after stopping the medication. The second round, I was pretty moody for a few days after stopping the pills. Clomid worked for me in Round 1- I had a 24 mm follicle on Day 11. Today I found out that Clomid did not work for me in Round 2. My follicles stopped growing and my lining was too thin. I'll be switching to Femara next month and hoping it works! F 34 5 days

 2  Fertility I had the typical side effects, hot flashes, moody etc. BUT i also developed cysts on both of my ovaries and the doctor believes it's due to the clomid and "over stimulation" of my ovaries. It's very uncomfortable and has made me feel a little defeated this is such a stressful process for couples but especially women, i was ovulating and had been pregnant, miscarried and have been trying 10 months to conceive, i won't take clomid again.

 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

 5  Unexplained Infertility On CD 5-9 I experienced hot flashes (in which I am normally so cold) and some lower back pain. Overall, very few side effects.

 3  infertility Intense (super intense) headaches, 24 hour "migrating migranes," severe nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, loss appetite. I experienced the most severe headaches in my life on Clomid. (I thought I had developed an aneurism.) I am not sure if I'll continue with another round of Clomid. I may just have to resign myself to bring "too old to conceive." F 41 4 days
