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  Blocked Left Fallopian Tube Taking clomid day 3-5 of my cycle. Mild headache after taking Clomid; but then subsides. No more noticable side effects.... Slight cramping after 2nd day taking 100mg.... Maybe from follicle stimulation leading up to ovulation?! This is my 2nd cycle taking clomid. Took 50mg 1st cycle for 5 days. 2nd cycle increased to 100mg; we'll see after this dose! F 36 5 weeks

 3  pcos/age nausea/vomiting, cramping, hot flashes/nite sweats, breast tenderness, decreased apatite, diarhea, back aches, insomnia, vivid dreams, bloating and very uncomfortable ovulation I conceived my first child after trying for 11 years, without any help. Now I'm 38 with PCOS and want to have another child. Doctor decided to put me on clomid 50mg, so far the side effects stink! I'm so glad to find this site and no that I'm not losing my mind. I also take metformin for PCOS I don't no if this effects clomid in anyway or not. F 38 5 days

 3  Infertility Im only on my first dose of Clomis 50mg and I take my last pill from my 5-7 days tomarrow. The side effects of Clomid I have expirianced are, breast swelling (I was a 34 C now I am pushing a D), insomnia (no matter what from days 3 to 5 i couldn't fall asleep for anything), and nausia (only happens mid afternoon). I have never takin Clomid before and I'm just about to en my first dose of 50mg. I hope it works. We have been trying for a year and a half with no luck. It turned out I just wasn't ovulating. So my doctor is having me try Clomid. I really hope it works. We have been trying for what feels like 100 years and nothing has happend. Ill repost after my next set...if i take another dose! I hope not = ) F 23 5 days

 1  Infertility Hot flashes - INTENSE Panic attacks and anxiety (horrific thoughts would flash in my head out of no where - followed by a panic attack) Some information about me: 35, I have one child and have a history of anxiety. Have been treated for anxiety in the past, but not currently on any meds (off meds a year or so). First round taken CD 3-8 = 100mg. Hot flashes and grumpy. No big deal -- thought to myself, wow! Clomid is great! I did ovulate a nice big egg, used timed intercourse -- we didnt get pregnant. Second round taken CD 3-8 = 150mg On CD 5, I had a horrific thought wizz in my brain. Triggered major anxiety and panic. Had another episode on CD, 10 (2 days after clomid rx). Called the dr. She said that she believed Clomid was to blame and gave me Ativan to ease the panic. I took one Ativan & felt better in an hour - I have not needed another since. I called the Mental Health group at my hospital to find a way of dealing with anxiety while going through infertility treatment (sans drugs). I did ovulate and have a nice big egg waiting for timed intercourse. Fingers crossed that it works. Dr. Said NO MORE CLOMID for me. I asked if my reaction was common, she said no. I dont know if I buy after reading online testimonials. I believe that if you have a history of anxiety or depression, you are more proned to have this type of reaction to Clomid. F 35 10 days

 4  Needed help to get pregnant I am currently taking my second dose of clomid and I am on the days 5-9 treatment. I have been really dizzy and complete loss of attention. I am even having a hard time finishing this email. Ugh. On the bright side, I did this with my first pregnancy and now have a cute three year old! F 35 2 days

 1  Severe Endometriosis Deep depression, abdominal and muscular cramps I took Clomid days 5-9 for 5 months and was unaware of any side-affects before I started. Have been depressed for 5 months and symptoms intensifying so past month has been uncontrollable crying and apathy. The black depression is just not worth it. Still trying to get over it even though stopped the pills 3 weeks ago. My endometriosis didn't affect ovulation, but it's possible the clomid has intensified the progress of the endo so now need another operation just 12 months after the last one. I would not take the pills again, even though am still trying to fall pregnant after 3 years. F 33 5 months

 3  Infertility uterine/ovarian cramping during ovulation, dizziness, slight nausea, flatulance, bloated, hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue Started taking clomid 100mg on day 3-7, 1st cycle. I took the pills after coming home from working night shift & went straight to bed in case there were immediate side effects. Initially experienced short episodes of blurred vision, horrible/uncomfortable hot flashes, then night sweats. I started ovulating on day 15. The hot flashes and night sweats continued, started with periodic dizziness, nausea and feeling faint, also with ovarian/uterine cramping. I'm now day 16 and hoping this gets better and we get pregnant. I don't think I have been moody and that's confirmed by my husband, then again he could be trying to be nice. F 31 5 days

 3  Late ovulation/TTC Ovulation cramping starting day after first pill (sharp twinges as follicles grow), this continues until day of O, intermittent headaches (not bad ones and they would not last long), drying of CM. I've taken clomid for 2 months thus far for late ovulation and TTC. The first month I was on 50 mgs cycle days 3-7 and I ovulated around Day 20. The second month I was on 100 mgs on days 3-7 and I ovulated either on day 19 or day 20 (not exactly sure). Both months I got a BFN. I am starting my 3rd month next week and will be doing 100 mgs again on either days 3-7, 4-8 or 5-9 (depending on when AF shows up and when I can get in for my baseline u/s). F 29 2 months

 3  Age factor My goodness! This was my first time taking clomid and I didn't feel anything until after the cycle. Firstly there was intermittent cramping. This has been happening for a little over a week. The other major, major thing, is this weight gain!! Aaaahhh!!! What is this all about? Not a good thing. Anyway, my period is supposd to come next week, hopefully it doesn't :) Only God knows. F 38 5 days

 3  PCOS Blurred vision, night sweats, nausea, dizzyness, Loss of appetite Today was my first day of Clomid after 5 days of provera and it has been a very hard week and half. Pumping my body full of hormnes(Provera) for five days and then having a period for three days and then starting to pump the hormones again(Clomid)has really thrown me for a loop. I had to leave work early today. The one good side effect, I guess because of the nausea I've had a loss of appetite. Which from what I read is uncommon. Like many of you I'm really hoping it works this first month!!!! F 24 5 days

 4  ttc 3rd child hot flashes, moody, weight gain, and ovulation cramping i have been on clomid for 2 months and the 1st month i had only hot flashes. the 2nd go round i had ovulation cramps andi dont know if it due to the clomid but brest tender and have a thick vein around my areola. I did Ovulate and had big follies. I would suggest other to do it minus the side effect. I did like the fact that it make you feel that you are pregnant when you may not be. but it does help with ovulation. F 26 2 times

 3  Infertility Major Moodiness while taking Clomid, pain during ovulation time, exaggerated pre-period signs- sore breasts, cramps, nausea, moodiness I better get pregnant soon, I don't know how much longer my husband can take the moodiness the Clomid brings on! I was on Clomid two years ago and got pregnant the first month. Unfortunately we miscarried. Since then we have miscarried a total of 3 times and had one tubal. We're hoping the Clomid will help get us pregnant faster! F 28 5 days

 2  Unexplained Infertility Severe lower back pain, weight gain 10 lbs in 2 months, constant bloated feeling, painful breasts Have only taken it for 2 months and am stopping to see if back pain subsides (Physician unsure if it's the cause, but it began within a week of my initial start of Clomid. Took Clomid days 3-7. F 31 5 days

 4  Unexplained Infertility Headaches, nausea, dizziness My first cycle on clomid I took 50mg. days 3-7. I experienced a headache approximately 5 hours after taking the pill every day. The headaches were such that I became sick to my stomach. I was dreading the second round, but agreed to do it. The first day I was a little sick to my stomach and dizzy, but NOTHING like the first cycle. This is day two and no side effects. I decided to take the pill at dinner this go around and at bedtime to take 400mg of Advil - this may be the key to helping with the side effects for me. Hoping it will work this time and I don't have to think about it again. F 28 5 days

 3  PCOS Severe cramping and bloating, flatulance, headaches, yeast infection, severe mood swings, depression and anxiety, and hot flashes. I took Clomid for three months at 50mg. The first two months were tolerable but the third month I started to get severe anxiety and depression. I was sad all the time and would burst out in tears for no reason. I ovulated for those three months but did not get pregant. My periods seemed shorter too only 3days long when they use to be seven. I'm not taking Clomid anymore and moving on to injections. F 35 3 months
