| 3 | PCOS | Well no side effects as of yet. Althought this morning I had cramping on the my left side? | Could the be possible ovulation??? Not sure. But, my husband and I have been TTC for a little over a year now. 1st time taking clomid. This is an emotional roller coaster for me...Prayer and support please! | F | 31 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 3 | unexplained infertility | bloating, painful gas, irritable, moody, lots of dreams | Been ttc'ing for over 2 years now, currently on my third cycle with clomid. Started with 50, didn't do anything other than speed up ovulation and make the one follicle I usually have every month without intervention abnormally large. Canceled IUI. Then took 100 with added estrogen before starting the clomid, ended up with too many potentially mature follicles, IUI canceled again, went on progesterone to prevent ovulation, and no intercourse allowed for a week. Now taking 75 mg after being on estrogen until day 8, so taking it cd 9-13. Have no idea what's going on inside me now and don't know yet what we'll end up doing this cycle. | F | 34 | 5 days 75 mg 1X day | 10/17/2010 | 1 | unexplained fertility | horrible moodiness, depression, weapy all the time, cramping, loss of appetite, lower back pain, insomina, migraines | My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about a year now. We are trying clomid first time this month. If it doesnt work dont know if we will be using the rest of the script next month or not. Have had a horrible time with this medication. | F | 24 | 5 days 50 MG 1X day | 10/15/2010 | 3 | Unexplained infertility | Bad headache and nausea. Not sure if nausea is from headache or just another symptom. No mood swings yet. Just my usual emotional self when I'm on my period. | I hope it works. I have regular cycles and ovulate regularly. Been TTC for a year and a half with no results. I'm trying not to stress about it. Dr is hoping this will let me put out more than one mature egg. I'm giving it 3 cycles before I try something else. I'll keep ya posted! | F | 27 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 10/14/2010 | 5 | Unexplained infertility | Moodiness, cramping, blurred vision a few days after last dose and fatigue | I took Clomid to get pregnant with both my boys both times it worked on the first month. However, inbetween those pregnancies I also had two miscarriages one on Clomid and one without. I would and am using again for 3rd child. | F | 36 | 1 months 50MG 1X day | 9/27/2010 | 4 | To Increase Conception Odds | Hot flashes, nausea, cramping, fatigue | The first cycle I took clomid in the morning and I had fatigue and hot flashes. I experienced a little nausea and When some serious ovulation cramping. Unfortunately Hubby and I still didnt catch the egg so we are on cycle two. This time I took it before bed and it seemed to work much better. I didn't have the fatigue like before but I still had hot flashes but it all went away a few days after I was finished taking the pills. I am praying that this cycle works for us. this will be our first child and if we conceive this month our due date will be net summer. which is great since I am a teacher and I will be OFF.....Woo Hoo! | F | 31 | 5 days 100mg 1X day | 9/24/2010 | 2 | unexplained infertility 8+years | 1st round of Clomid: Nausea - no appetite. Extreme fatigue - 4-6hr naps. Slight black-out one morning getting out of bed - fell on floor. Calf pain, hoping it is not a blood clot. Dizziness, mental cloudiness. Emotional darkness. All I want to do is complain or sleep. | Not worth it - even if pregnancy occurs. Was told it takes 3 months to get the crap out of my system. | F | 32 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 3 | anovulation | Some of you people complain so MUCH it's probably best if you didn't get pregnant. Yeah, I said it. SUCH COMPLAINING and DRAMA! | F | 28 | 5 days 100mg 1X day | 8/23/2010 | 4 | unexplained infertility | hot flashes starting day 3 and that's about it while taking the meds. crazy bloating...which leads to heartburn..,cramping for four days..and a little weight gain a week and a half after finishing the course. that's about it. | this is my second time on Clomid. Three courses in 2009 of 50mg and no side effects other than hot flashes. this course of clomid was for the Clomid Challenge Test to test my ovarian reserve. Side effects were not much different. | F | 36 | 5 days 100 mg 1X day | 8/19/2010 | 2 | TTC #1 - long cycles | Headaches, dryness, ovulation pain | Didn't work for me. In fact in the 6th and final month of taking it I never got a period after being regular with it. Bummer. | F | 29 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 8/17/2010 | 3 | TTC, no luck after 18 mos. | So far, I've had headaches two days in a row that appeared out of nowhere, and that's uncommon for me. And the gas is ridiculous. I just took my 5th pill and for 3 days, I have had gas pain in my lower abdomen. Thankfully, I am finding relief from it, but to feel that for 3 days is a little much. | None to speak of. Won't know until ovulation or my next cycle. | F | 33 | 5 days 50 mg 1X day | 8/5/2010 | 5 | infertility | abdominal discomfort/bloating,hunger,nausea, mood swings | While Its my first cycle and havn't conceived, I did ovulate which is somethng my body hasn't done in monthes, the side effects are well worth it so far | F | 26 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 8/4/2010 | 3 | TTC x 1 year, annovulation | hot flashes every couple of hours, fatigue, mood swings, irritability | Prescribed Provera and Clomid. 1st Round: 50 mg, days 3-7, several hot flashes during day and mood swings, did not ovulate. 2nd Round: 100 mg, days 5-9, frequent hot flashes, very irritable, abdominal pain x 2 days (CD 11-12), then positive ovulation predictor kit! Now 17 DPO, negative HPT today, waiting for period... | F | 29 | 5 days 100 mg 1X day | 7/31/2010 | 1 | unexplained infertility | I have finished 3 month course of clomid. my tummy is extremely swollen with no discomfort. I attended A&E during the week with abnormal menstrual bleeding which lasted for 24 hrs. doctor though it was a side effect of taking clmid. | I would not like to take clomid in the future. bleeding was scarey and i also suffered cramps in my left leg, very painful. I have had one child and two miscarriages in the past 11 years. I wud dearlylove more children. | F | 34 | 5 days 50 g 1X day | 7/3/2010 | 4 | Trying to conceive | I noticed a decrease in vaginal lubrication, but used fertility-friendly lubricant to compensate. Before clomid, I had often experienced brief sharp pains and mild cramping when I ovulated - I noticed the same thing continued and was slightly more painful in a cycle where I took clomid. I now experience some brief mild cramping in the days leading up to ovulation, and then some sharp pains when I ovulate. They're uncomfortable, but brief. I personally don't mind because that means I can tell it's working. | I haven't had any mood side effects whatsoever and otherwise feel completely fine taking it. | F | 35 | 5 days 50 1X day | 7/2/2010 | 3 | unable to conceive after a year | I was too chicken to take the entire 50mg and even at this low dose, the s/e were tough going (exxxtreme cramps, mind-blowing anger and cryfests, headaches and just generally feeling spacey and "off") Am at CD23 and because of what I'm experiencing now, am pretty sure that my period is just around the corner (5 days early!!!), although of course the stupid dummy in me is once again hoping that maybe just maybe .... | Despite the side effects (really creepy & gross), I will take a regular dose next month...but honestly, I doubt I would venture any higher than 50mg (Meds and me - not a good mix). I am also 40 - 10 yrs past my personal "deadline" - and I'm not so sure it's wise to push fertility too far past its "unprocessed" demise. But that's just me. Would love to communicate with others (in my age-group especially!) who are going through this emotionally taxing experience (argh). | F | 40 | 5 days 25mg 1X day | 6/30/2010 | 3 | TTC | I am currently on my first cycle of Clomid. Everything has been fine until now. I ovulated, and I now am in a lot of pain. Its beyond cramps, and it hurts to sit up straight, and it gets worse as the day goes on. The pain did hit a peak two days ago and starting to tapper off, but its still dehabilitating. I have endometriosis and believe that the Clomid is making it work. Getting pregnant is a great way to help with endometriosis, so i am looking forward to that. | I only produced 2 follicles on my left ovary which was disappointing since I do that on my own. I am hoping the other postive effects of Clomid helps me conceive. | F | 28 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 6/30/2010 | 5 | TTC | I was taking the pills days 5-9 of my cycle, I noticed a longer than normal menstrual period and was somewhat more emotional than usual. Those were the only side effects that I had WHILE taking the med. Later in my cycle I experienced extreme cramping and tenderness internally which only lasted one day; discomfort during sex one time - felt as if everything inside and out was swollen and tender. I've had swollen and tender breasts, heavy breasts, frequent urination, fatigue, and bloating, possible weight gain, and I have been more emotional than usual for this time in my cycle. | We are hopeful that these are symptoms of early pregnancy and not necessarily side effects of Clomid. We should know for sure within a week, in which case I will update my review. UPDATE - positive pregnancy test on first round of Clomid after 8 years of unexplained infertility. I'm a fan! | F | 37 | 5 days 50 mg 1X day | 6/29/2010 Patient History | 4 | Unexplained Infertility | The first round my body temperature was slightly elevated and I had crazy dreams with lack of sleep. This time around I'm not having any symptoms what so ever! This is definately tolerable! | I did my research and only found negative comments, no one usually posts the good things. Just remember if you have a 10% chance (or whatever % chance) of getting the side effects, there is a 90% chance you won't! | F | 32 | 5 days 100mg 1X day | 6/28/2010 | 4 | to ovulate and conceive | hot flashes, weight gain, dizziness | This is my second month on Clomid. Last month took it, but did not ovulate by the 21 day range when I had a bloodtest. Around the 22-24 day of my cycle, had really bad pain on right side and think i ovulated then. Not sure why it was about a week later than its supposed to be on this medication. | F | 28 | 5 days 100MG 1X day | 6/23/2010 |
