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)

 4  Get pregnant, regulate cycle Slightly swollen ovaries, bloating, tenderness in my abdominal area, emotional (crying), anxious, not hungry, difficult to concentrate, fatigue, constipation, small ache in the back of my knee (only lasted one day) Taking 50 mg. This is my first time trying clomid. I was pregnant earlier this year, but lost the baby at 21 weeks. We've been trying for the last four months with no success. I'm hoping this works! F 36 5 days

 3  PCOS and trying to get pregnant I took clomid 50mg for 10 days only symptoms that I had while taking clomid was fatigue and hot flashes. Been off the clomid now for 19 days and been having crazy mood swings, like uncontrollable, and a lot of crying for no reason at all. I've been extremely tired, alot of headaches, alot of food cravings for things I don't normally eat. Not too sure if these are due to the clomid or if I am pregnant. Waiting to take a HPT F 25 10 days

 2  TTC Dizziness, headaches, hot flashes--pretty instantaneous after taking first pill but side effects diminished over the next 4 days. 50mg didn't make me ovulate so now I'm taking 100mg for 5 days, we'll see what happens, I just took the pills. F 32 5 days

 3  PCOS, TTC Insomnia, headaches, fatigue, mild cramping and increased vaginal moisture (but those made me feel it was working). I just finished my first round. I'm currently 6 dpo. A blood test taken two days ago showed progesterone levels were borderline. I feel it worked, though, because now my breasts are really tender, I am fatigued, and I have an increased appetite. We are hoping it worked, but we are waiting 2-3 more weeks before taking a hpt. Waiting is torture! F 26 5 days

 2  Unexplained Infertility It made me very sleepy. I took it in the middle of the day and I was asleep 20 minutes later. I have also experienced severe bloating and weight gain. The weight gain has been the hardest side effect to deal with. I have tried very hard to keep my body in shape so I can have a happy healthy pregnancy and baby......now, the very thing that could get me that baby is making me fat. I have taken 100mg of Clomid for 1 cycle with no pregnancy. I am about to start my second cycle also at 100mg. I'm looking forward to it working this time but not the extra 5 lbs it will give me. F 38 1 months

 3  To regulate ovulation Depression, sadness, crying, moodiness I started last month at the lowest dose (50mg). It did not work. Side effects were hard to deal with. It takes about a week after you stop taking it to get out of your system. I'm fine again now. If I get pregnant, it will be worth it. You just have to remember that the side effects will pass. I'm a completely different person when taking it. Hopefully the effects are not worse with a higher dose next month. F 30 1 months

Headaches have now gone away and I feel back to my normal self (i'm on CD 18). I really hope this works. I have been taking my BMT every morning but no spike yet.... F 23 1 months

 4  PCOS Tired, hot flashes, dizzy night sweats and blurred vision. I started with 50 mg for the first cycle. IUI but no luck. I am on 100 mg for the 3rd cycle. Side effects appeared much quicker this time, or maybe I just notice them more now that I know what i am looking for. F 27 3 months

 4  Delayed ovulation/long cycles mild hot flashes, mood swings (but not too outrageous--mostly sadness), bloating. I took 50 mg CD3-7. My side effects were really quite mild. If I hadn't already read what common side effects were I may not have attributed them to anything other than the usual PMS symptoms. I also took my pills right before bed, I'd heard that could minimize the side effects. The ovulation pain was more intense, but it at least let me know "something" was going on down there. My OB/GYN was not closely moniotoring me this first round, so I only know I ovulated due to temperature charting and also using the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor. F 34 5 days

 4  Trying to get Preg I find it so hard to stay awake, I fall asleep wake up for a few hours and fall back asleep. I am moody, and my husband is ready for this to be over. I have been depressed alot this month and I have never felt this way before. Normally I am so happy and let things just roll off my back. Now everything gets to me, be it good bad or other. I am on my 5th month with one month left to take clomid. I am hoping it works this time!! I think this is a great way to get preg. Even though I have had a lot of side effects I would do it again. F 37 5 months

 4  PCOS Extremely dizzy, hot flashes sometimes and short fused at times. This is my second dose of 50mg and the dizzyness and cramping are worse this month. I pray this is all worth it!! F 2 months

 4  Age 45 & TTC Nausea, dizzy, fatigue, headaches, and recurring yeast infections. Seems to have a cumulative effect. First month took 150 mg, 5 follicles but none were right size. Second month 150 mg, 3 very good follicles. We'll see if this works because I am feeling much worse this month. Very tired, headaches, and another yeast infection! I am ovulating though, and this month the follicles were all perfect. F 45 2 months

 5  Ovulatory problems following Lupron Mild headaches, slight cramping at ovulation Hang in there, ladies! After TTC for over 2yrs and going through 6mos of Lupron treatment for endometriosis, I am finally PREGNANT after only 1 cycle of Clomid! F 27 5 days

 2  Unexplained Secondary Infertility Daily headaches, migraines, hot flashes, tired I don't even know why I am taking this drug. I have a very regular ovulation cycle. I feel like the drs are grasping at straws to figure out why I can't get pregnant, and what to do about it. Last month was our first failed IUI. They are suggesting more clomid and another IUI. Very frustrating after 2 years. While I like the feeling that I am "doing something" about my infertilty, the 6 day string of migraines is too much. F 31 3 months

 3  fertility challenges/endometriosis Metallic taste in mouth. First night sweat ever last night. FATIGUE!! Irritability. Not sure how this will turn out, but I remain optimistic...we have a daughter (3) who was conceived naturally and in no time (2nd month we were married!:) I tried many natural means for the last 2 years and so I have finally resigned to man-made intervention! I am on 100mg from day 3 to day 7 combined with IUI at the clinic. This is our second round. I will remain hopeful..that it results in a successful pregancy...and that the long-term side effects of the drug are not significant. F 41 2 months
