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)

 1  infertility Absolutely horrible side effects, severe arrhytmia that landed ne in the emergency room. Dizziness and episodes of severe arrhythmia continued for several years with the worst first year. Gradually improved only on the fifth year. I took this drug for three menstual cycles, first two times for 7 days, third time -- 10 days. DO NOT TAKE, there are better drugs for infertility! F 45

 3  Assist fertility over 40 Just exaggerated my normal symptoms. I had much more painful ovulation. I've had raging headaches several days before my period, some nausea and sore breasts. I had 3 folicles the first time, only 2 the second. Will probably try injectables next round, on the recommendation of my doctor. I'm willing to endure lots of discomfort in order to conceive our second child at this age. Conceived naturally in 5 months at age 38. Overall, not too bad. You feel worse during the stressful times, ovulation and IUI, and then that awful waiting time just before your period or pregnancy. I've been trying to see if anyone else has these raging headaches before getting your period. I've heard the drop in progesterone causes it, so I take my monthly headache as a foreboding sign. So not happy, and I feel crappy. Don't want to take medicine in case I am pregnant, so I suffer through it. Don't know whether it is psychological or not, but I've felt like I've had pregnancy symptoms each month we've tried. I've felt nauseous, headachey, sore nipples. But when I look back at my first pregnancy, I had none of that, so I guess I need to interpret these symptoms as clomid symptoms and not pregnancy. Hope this helps someone - good luck everyone! Hate the stress, but a baby is worth it! F 41 2 months

 2  Clomid Challenge Headache, anxiety, moodiness, emotional, bloating, paranoia, constipation, hot flashes, insomnia I ovulate on my own but my Dr. had prescribed 50 mg to stregnthen ovulation. I took it for one cycle and at that time decided that the side effects were not worth it and I did not use it again. We've been trying to conceive for about a year or so off and on with no success so I wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong. Fertility Dr. put me on 100 mg days 5-9 as part of the Clomid Challenge. I made it through to day 8 and could not bear to take the last dose. I knew what the common side effects were but did not know about the insomnia, paranoia and anxiety. I was extremely emotional crying at everything for the last 2-3 days. If this is the only way I can get pregnant then I don't think i could do it. F 37 4 days

 4  TTC, annovulatory Ovary cramping, Uterine cramping, mood swings, hot flashes, extremely tender breasts after ovulation, heartburn, and yeast infection I'm now on my second cycle of Clomid and the side effects have yet to arrive. Most of them happened after ovulation and were very irritating but not unbearable. It did make me ovulate on CD16 so I am satisfied that it is indeed helping us. F 22 2 months

 2  ovulation night sweats, extreme fatigue, increased hunger, moodiness and short temper This is only my second round at 50mg. Based on others' comments, I am nervous of having to increase dosage if I am this affected already. Hopefully I will not have to - on second day of clomid and hoping it works! F 38 2 months

 4  PCOS - Thin Cyster Blurry vision/floaters, Hot Flashes, severe bloating, moodiness, weepiness Taken at night CD 3-7 100mg. Clomid along with an hCG trigger shot helped me ovulated larger, more mature eggs both cycles. Biggest complaint would be the abdominal cramping, it was really bad during second round, which included an IUI. Not sure if this cycle worked but I'm not sure I will do it again because of the emotional roller-coaster and pain which has been affecting my work. F 28 2 months

 5  TTC SEVERE DIZZINESS!!! Slightly emotional, but only during the 5 days of pills. The first two months on clomid were fine, little to no side effects, mainly emotional. This is my 3rd month and OH MY GOSH, the dizziness is unbearable. I have to be careful not to fall. It began on the first day of the pills and has continued even though my last pill was 5 days ago. I am going to the doc to make sure this is normal. It is driving me crazy, and I have decided not to take clomid next month. F 29 3 months

 3  Unexplained infertility Very itchy/dry skin starting around day 12. Acne breakout worse than when I was a teenager around ovulation. Delayed ovulation v. non-Clomid cycles (I'm usually like clock work - Day 14-15). Terrible nausea starting Day 24. Was on Clomid Days 3-7. Produced two follicles, but only one was the right size. Had to have HCG shot to induce ovulation. F 38 5 days

 4  Fertility I've had no negative side effects. After reading so many horror stories about the side effects of Clomid, I decided to still take the medication and I'm glad I did! I'm on my first cycle, days 3-7, 50mg and I've felt great. My attitude is still great, I'm not getting emotional over everything, which I've been known to do on other medications like Yaz and medications simular to that. Thats why I was really hesitant to take Clomid due to the fact I have a history of horrific emotional effects from other medications. I hope this helps others, and I hope it helps us conceive!! F 38 4 days
