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  not ovulating extreme nausea, visual symtoms/dizziness,hot flashes,slight cramps, moody I just finished taking my 2nd month of Clomid. The first month was fine with no side effects and also no ovualtion. I took my last pill for the 2nd month 6 days ago. I dont know if I have ovulated yet and my doctor wont monitor me until after the 3rd month to see if I ever had :( For the last few days, I have had nausea when I wake up and thats about it. Today it has gone on off and all all day and I cant even eat without feeling sick. Hopefully it means something good. We will see. :) F 26 5 days

 1  not ovulating weight gain, anxiety, moodiness, back and ovary pain during ovulation, pain with intercourse Sever anxiety around ovulation with Clomid. And I am FAT -- normally really thin, I have gained a significant amount of fat around my middle that not even my usual exercise routine has helped -- I am not sure if I'm eating more, but I honestly don't think so -- I can't think of any cravings I have had. Unless I am currently pregnant, then I see no other reason. This is my third cycle of taking Clomid and I am not doing this again. F 39 5 days

 4  Not ovulating, PCOS night sweats, mild insomnia, some moodiness, bloating, enlarged ovary, very bad yeast infections, fatigue Took 50 mg for 3 cycles. Biggest side effect was yeast infections that made it pretty much impossible to even try to get pregnant. The Dr prescribed Diflucan, and it cleared up. Now on 2nd cycle of 100 mg. Didn't notice much the first month. This month, I had bad pains in my right side. Happened to have an appointment with fertility specialist during this time. She said my right ovary was so enlarged it was nearly the size of my uterus. It was so painful! I had released 4 eggs. Don't know yet if I'm pregnant. I'm just hoping I'm not carrying quadruplets. But at least I ovulated! F 32 5 days

 3  PCOS At first I felt fine. I took it days 5-9 and thought all was going well. On day 12 all hell broke loose. Cramps, hot sweats, dizziness, nausea, flatulance, loss of appetite and then sudden SERIOUS hunger pains. Now am on day 16 and it's not getting any better. Have not had a + OPK test yet. I don't know if it's working but I feel terrible. Started on 50mg for 5 days supposed to go to 100 then 150 if not working. Not sure I can handle it. M 36 5 days

 4  Unexplained Infertility I have been incredibly happy and just feel great. I've also been far more interested in intimacy with my husband than usual. I'm on cycle day 18 of my first round and my nipples are very tender and my breasts have swollen 1.5 inches. This is the first time I've tried Clomid. I'm concerned that when the dosage is increased, the side effects may get bad also. F 26 5 days

 4  not ovulating; irregular cycle I was a little moody the week after taking it (days 5-9), or maybe it was a convenient excuse for being angry. :) I felt myself ovulating on day 16 (pain and pinching on one side of abdomen), pain which I was actually grateful for. I've only felt that a couple times! I'm now three weeks out from my last pill, feeling nausea and breast tenderness. Hoping this is a symptom of something else, but I'm not sure when the side effects should wear off from Clomid. This is my first time taking it. I'm hoping this is all I have to deal with in any successive rounds, judging from others' experiences. F 25 5 days

 1  Infertility/undiagn.PCOS @ the time I was 26 when i tried clomid for infertility. Moodiness and hot flashes right after the first day, bloating, ovulation cramps on both sides. On day 3 woke up in horrific anxiety, opened the sliding door ready to jump out the window, heart racing..Dizzy followed by collapse. My partner had taken me to the ER-my skin turned yellow. Do not recommend for PCOS.. Metformin works much better. Clomid seems to be an 'overkill' for this disorder. See your reproductive endocrinologist. PCOS is criminally underdiagnosed by fertility butchers. I almost died. F 33 3 days

 2  improve chances of getting pregnant Started 100 MG Clomid on the 5th of cycle & took it for 5 days. On the 8th day of cycle I woke up with a terrible blinding headache & it pretty much lasted the rest of that week on & off. On the 16th day of cycle I experienced the worst pelvic pain imaginable. Had 2 sleep with an ice pack on my lower abdomen. Day 17 started having thick white discharge resembling a yeast infection also was ichy down there. Discharge was so bad had 2 use a maxi pad. Then day 18 started the extreme bloating in my abdomen. Stomach blew up like I was already pregnant. I'm at day 19 and headaches are gone but I'm still really bloated with tenderness in my abdomen and also chest pains. When I take a deep breath my chest hurts. I'm up 6 lbs so far. Also very moody, extreme rage. Huge fight with husband on day 15 & been sleeping on couch all week cause I can't let it go. The horrible pelvic pain let me know I was ovulating but I was in 2 much pain, 2 uncomfortable & 2 moody 2 even t pelvic pain, bloating, headaches, chest pains, weight gain, thick discharge, mood swings.

 3  Infertility; age I am in the middle of my first cycle (days 3-7) of clomid. I take it at night before bed. So far I've had night sweats, mild insomnia (I fall asleep but then awake several times during the night), hot flashes (about once or twice per day), and zero appetite (this one I don't mind). I have not finished one meal of mine since I started the pills. This is my first shot at clomid. I've been trying to get pregnant for a year now with no luck. All diagnostic tests so far show no problems with tubes or uterus, however, I am not ovulating. I plan to try for 6 months, 3 "natural" and 3 with IUI. I hope this works! F 37 4 days

 3  PCOS TTC Blurred Vision, Diziness, Dry Mouth, Bloating, Emotional End of Nov. my gyn started me on 50mg. that did nothing, i felt no side effects. When I saw a Reproductive Endo. they said they would bump it to 100 and see what happened. The 100 worked to develop the egg, took the trigger shot, but it didn't get fertilized. Started 100mg went in for sonogram and there was little progress. Dr. bumped it again to 150. I'm on day 4 of 150mg and there is a HUGE difference in side effects. I have light trails at night in low light, dizziness before falling asleep (room spins when i close my eyes- NOT drunk), dry mouth, light headed, bloated... I'm sure there are more I don't even realize. I go in again the 23rd hopefully this will work this time. F 28 9 weeks

 2  TTC #2 none the first month whatsoever. Second month moody crampy and hot flashes at night after take the pills This is my second month 100mg started day 3 yesterday going to do ultrasound on the 25th to see this time hopefully there will be eggs that are matured so she can give me a trigger shot to release the egg within 24-36 hours. I really really hope this works this time my son is 3 and if I get pregnant now he will be 4 when the baby is born and I really didn;t want to have children so far apart in age. I am also trying preeseed for the first time, anyone have thoughts on that, if it will help? F 28 2 months

 4  Infertility I have been suffering with EXTREME fatigue around the time of ovulation (almost can't function at night). I have had dizziness (feel somewhat cloudy in my head at times). I didn't really get HOT flashes, but my overall body temp. seems to raise while taking clomid until ovulation occurs (not terrible though). Worst symptom is definitely FATIGUE! I have a 3 year old daughter who was concieved without any difficulty. We have been trying to get pregnant with number 2 for 14 months now. I am on my second round of 50 mg Clomid. I am definitely ovulating! I have been using the Clear Plan easy monitor 10 days a month to track my cycle. F 30 2 months
