| 2 | TTC | I am on my 4th cycle of clomid - the first 3 I was prescribed 100/mg per day for 5 days. After 3 unsuccessful cycles, my OB/GYN increased my dosage to 150 mg/day for 5 days. I have had what I believe to be, several side effects which include: hot flashes, moodiness - cry at the drop of a pin, extreme fatigue, VISION problems, cramping/pain in the areas of my ovaries, bloating/weight gain, decreased CM, increased appetite and frequent urination. | My hubby and I have been trying to conceive since we got married (8 months ) - actually, we weren't really preventing it before either. I am almost 40 and have never been pregnant...and am getting very worried. I thought Clomid would be the answer for me...but so far it's not. I've already finished my 4th cycle of clomid, but have a call into my OB/GYN re: my symptoms. I'm nervous that he didn't want to see me after the first 3 months - he just prescribed me a higher dose. Funny...they tell us (all who are TTC) to not be stressed, to not worry or be anxious - but how is that possible with everything we have to keep track of, think about, deal with? | F | 39 | 5 days 100-150 1X day | 6/23/2010 | 3 | unexplained infertility | My first month (on 50 mg) I really suffered from intense exhaustion for a few days after taking Clomid and around ovulation, tenderness around the ovaries, crazy dreams. Month 3 and I've been bumped up to 100mg and (this may or may not be related) my legs have gone numb from the knees down (on the front) and I gained an exceptional 3kg in 4 days, which has (thank God!) started to disappear again. Doc thinks maybe it's like carpal tunnel syndrome of the legs, brought on by the extra Estrogen. It certainly feels like I'm about 8 months pregnant! | My fertility doctors can't believe I'd be having these side effects on these drugs but nothing else has changed. I am ovulating though and produced 2, then 1, then 3 good follicles. Fingers crossed! | F | 38 | 5 days 50mg/100mg 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 2 | Unexplained infertility | Some weight gain (3lb or so), bit more emotional. Breasts actually LESS sore than they would be normally. | This is my 2nd month on it. Really hoping it works, but not optimistic at the moment | F | 32 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 6/11/2010 | 2 | Infertility | Bloating, constipation, weight gain, headaches, EXTREME fatigue, moodiness, very emotional | After a year of trying I still had not gotten pregnant. My cycles have always been VERY irregular/borderline nonexistent, so my GYN ordered pelvic US and labs and determined that I was a candidate for clomid. Last month I took Clomid 50 mg daily for five days starting on the third day of my surgery, but I did not get pregnant. For the first cycle of Clomid I only had one side effect-- headaches. Tomorrow I will finish my fifth and final dose of 100 mg. I have been bloated, nauseous, experienced weight gain, been very emotional and moody, and had headaches every day. I hope and pray that we get pregnant this month-- I really don't know if I can do another cycle of the Clomid next month!! | F | 28 | 5 days 50/100 1X day | 6/3/2010 | 3 | TTC | nothing! | I was put on 50MG days 3-7 on my first try and didn't ovulate. No side effects at all..AT ALL. This time around i am taking 100MG days 3-7 and i feel a little sick for the first few hours after taking it..but nothing that i can't handle. i've never been pregnant before and have been trying to conceive for the last 6 months. It hasn't been a long time compared to a lot of you...but other than the fact that i'm not ovulating, i'm very impatient! good luck to everyone! | F | 24 | 5 days 100MG 1X day | 5/26/2010 | 2 | TTC | The first time I recieved clomid was in March 2010 the doctor started me on provera to help me get a period which i took for 10 days due to irregular periods then i waited until the third day to start the 50mg of clomid, had pains in my side like knives penetrated inside me a few days after the last pill of clomid. Had pregnancy like symptoms such as vomiting, feeling bloated and tired but when I went to see if anything happen the doctor told me I didn't ovulate so I waited until my period was due and there was nothing the test was negative. | Was prescribe provera for 10 days plus 100mg of clomid for 5 days that I started in April 2010 about two weeks ago and so far I have tender breast but waiting on my blood test results I took yesterday on day 21...so really not sure if it's going to work. I have been trying to get pregnant with my husband for 4 years naturally but no success so hopefully clomid works. I might try one more time if it doesn't work this time. My dr. will prescribe metformin + 100mg of clomid together and see what happens. | F | 28 | 5 days 50/100mg 1X day | 5/19/2010 | 4 | Irregular Cycles | Only physical side effects were bloating and a shorter period, however emotional side effects were greater, feeling really "low" or just random thoughts of sadness and easily brought to tears | First time Clomid user. I'm only on Day 9 of my cycle, started testing today and my LH hormones are high, (my average cycles are 35-40 days long, I usually ovulate on Day 17-19-if I ovulate at all, so I'm never 'high' this early in my cycle) so this is a good sign that the drug is doing what it's supposed to, I'm still feeling a bit more emotional/foggy then usual, but it's hard to tell whether it's the medication or just the frustration of going through such a long process to get pregnant. I'll post again after this cycle to tell whether I ovualted earlier then normal | F | 26 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 5/17/2010 | 4 | late ovulation | moodiness during the 5 days i took it, some increased tiredness. actually increased CM instead of decreasing it. | still have 5 days before i can test accurately (or i'm trying to wait). have tested twice at 9 and 10 dpo and both negative. | F | 25 | 5 days 50 mg 1X day | 5/9/2010 | 2 | To ovulate | Hot flashes, headache, constantly hungry, mood swings | F | 22 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 5/8/2010 | 4 | unexplained infertility | This is my first month on Clomid, and when I was taking the pills I didn't have any side effects. But a week after I went home crying from work and was irritable and sad for several hours. (My husband cheered me up!) Then a few days later I developed a huge pimple on my face. It was so big it made my eye swollen and part of my nose! I went to the dermatologist to get it treated. I ovulated yesterday, this I know because of the positive ovulation test and the tremendous cramping. This morning my extremely painful breasts woke me up early. They hurt soooo badly. I've never felt anything like that before! The pain subsided by late afternoon but I'd still call them extremely tender. | I can't wait to see what side effect happens next! I sure hope I'm pregnant because I'm scared of the pain next month. | F | 39 | 5 days 50 1X day | 5/6/2010 | 2 | Husband low sperm count | Night sweats, headaches, nausea and ovary pain. | Prescribed clomid after husband was diagnosed with low fertility. Am on 3rd month and had appt with consultant today but he won't tell me results of blood test until 4mths time! Disgusted that this is my only option and not happy about being on this drug. Was told by GP that side effects were a virus! Only taking this batch then stopping as not happy with tablet OR medical treatment thus far. No children and getting old (37) so not happy! :( | F | 37 | 3 months 50mg 1X day | 5/5/2010 | 4 | UNEXP INF - SHORT LUTEAL PHASE | This is my firt round with Clomid. So far these are the effects: 1st Day with Clomid: Headache and Hot Flashes. Nausea, Ovary Pain and Headache after my ovulation. I have a short luteal phase. (Usally 12 DPO) Today I am in 13 DPO and I am waiting to test or have my period. To minimize the effects of Clomid I have been doing Acupunture and Exercise. | I don´t have PCO´s so my doctor recommended to go with 3 cycles on clomid. Crossing my fingers! | F | 35 | 5 days 50 MG 1X day | 5/2/2010 | 4 | low progesterone | It's quite cruel isn't it? You get pregancy symptoms while trying to conceive. I am only on my first round, and at 50 mg, the doctor confirmed that I ovulated. So, I will not have to up it. However, I have had nausea, fatigue, cramps, and bloating. | The woman with the doctor that won't test her for 3 months, might consider finding a new one. I had a blood test after my first round. My doctor wanted to know immediately if the 50 mgs worked. He also requires I come in once a month while on clomid to check for swollen ovaries, etc. | F | 37 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 4/25/2010 | 3 | o help with ovulation | extremely weepy and emotional. headaches and tired all the time | i finished taking clomid two days ago. i hope this works bc these side effects are aweful | F | 28 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 4/24/2010 | 3 | hormone inbalance | This will be my third cycle of taking 50mg of Clomid which I take on days 3-7 of my cycle (which are 26 day cycles since I have been on Clomid, when I am not on clomid they are 28 days.) I had crazy hot flashes and night sweats (I would wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. I only had the hot flashes and night sweats on the days I was taking the pill. I had nipple tenderness a couple days after ovulation, and really sore breasts during my period. | This is my third cycle on clomid, and it has made me ovulate every time I have taken it so that is promising (I know this for fact because I invested in the Clearblue Fertility Monitor which I highly recommend.) I totally recommend this to anyone who has ovulation problems..sadly my doctor believes I probably have Endometriosis so if this cycle of clomid does not get me pregnant I will have surgery in May to correct that issue. | F | 23 | 3 months 50mg 1X day | 4/22/2010 | 5 | TTC | Lower back pain during ovulation. | I thought I would share a success story to those out there who, like me, are frustrated with the conception process. Month one, I was on 50 mg Clomid and it didn't do anything. Months two and three I was on 100 mg Clomid and I had some lower back pain, but did not conceive. Month 4 I took 100 mg Clomid again, used the Clear Blue Easy Ovulation predictor kit (digital), and finally conceived! I am still very early on in my pregnancy but am SO excited that the Clomid worked!! | F | 27 | 5 days 100 mg 1X day | 4/20/2010 | 3 | To get pregnant/infertility | Side effects thus far and most occur a few days after taking Clomid for me, not during: pain/numbness in hamstring part of legs (not certain from clomid), major mood swings, slight headaches, dizziness, weird dreams/insomnia, lot of cramping in ovaries, gas. | Cycle 1: 50 mg days 5-9--had miscarriage. Cycle 2 (taken 2 months after miscarriage) 50mg days 3-7 no ovulation. Cycle 3 of Clomid took 100 mg days 3-7--no ovulation as of day 15 doctor had me take 100mg again days 15 & 16. Also ordered insulin/glucose test now to see if PCOS is a possibility. | F | 32 | 5 days 50mg 1X day | 4/20/2010 | 3 | PCOS ovulation issues | 50MG: Severe mood swings, panic attacks, hot flashes, headache. 100 MG Round 1: Gas, Ovulation cramps, moderate mood swings, tender breasts. 100 MG Round 2: Nausea and vomiting, gas, extreme abdominal bloating, extreme Ovarian pain, visual trails and floaters, feeling of poor circulation in legs. | Has Clomid made me ovulate? Yes. Has it helped me get pregnant? Not yet... The side effects have been so wild I am actually considering taking a break next month if I don't get pregnant this round. I find it odd that every month I have different side effects. | F | 29 | 5 days 100 MG 1X day | 4/16/2010 | 4 | recurrent miscarriages | Headaches and sleepiness starting from the first pill, they went away immediately as soon as I finished the last pill. Mild hot flashes and night sweats a few days after finishing. Some cramping on CD 11 and 12 (ovulation pain). Slight drying of CM, but mucinex helped a great deal. Nothing major. | We got pregnant with my son with no problems, and have gotten pregnant very easily two times since, but both ended in miscarriage (6wks and 4wks), possibly due to low progesterone or poor egg maturity. Doctor said to give Clomid a try...now we're on the 2ww! | F | 24 | 5 days 100 mg 1X day | 4/12/2010 | 5 | To become pregnant under supervisiom | Just fatigue and occassional moodiness. | Successful results. I would highly recommend it. | F | 42 | 5 days 200 mg 1X day | 4/8/2010 |
