| 4 | trying to become pregnant | Headache, hot flashes, dizziness and irratability | If you can stand the side effects, clomid is about 75% effective in becoming pregnant. I was on it 2 differnt times and conceived both times on clomid. First time took 4 cycles and this pregnancy took 2 cycles. | F | 35 | 2 months | 5/22/2008 | 5 | Not ovulating | mood swings, hot flashes ans sensitivity to smells. | I am on my 5th cycle of Clomid. Started at 50mg and now on 150mg. I only have one more month and my ob/gyn said we are going to try a different approach. Overall it is not that bad. You have to expect that when you are altering your hormones that it may mess with you. Is it worth it? Yes because without it there is no chance I can have a baby. Good luck to all who are TTC! | F | 31 | 5 months | 5/10/2008 | 3 | PCOS | Headache, dizzy at times, driving my poor hubby crazy from the extreme rollercoasters of mood swings, I'm angry on moment crying the next. This is my second round hopefully it works soon. | F | 24 | 2 months | 5/4/2008 | 3 | annovulation | severe nausea, light-headedness, dizziness, headaches, moodiness, & mild depression--all lasting for several days even after I stopped taking the pills. I take on days 5--9. I'm on Day 18 now, and still feeling terribly! | I was prescribed 50mg of clomid beginning 2 months ago, and I did not ovulate the first month. My OBGYN then bumped me to 100mg, and I did ovulate this month, but the side effects have been horrific. I hope I'm pregnant, so I can stop taking this drug. If I am pregnant--it will all be worth it. | F | 28 | 2 months | 5/4/2008 | 5 | PCOS | Sharp pains and cramping with ovulation | I just started using Clomid at 50mg with Metformin 1000mg and that worked for me the first time. | F | 23 | 1 months | 5/3/2008 | 3 | PCOS | I have been so tired since taking my tablets to the point where my eye lids are so heavy which makes being at work hard. I have also had major hot flushes and regular mild headaches. I have also been a bit irritable. I am only on 50mg so i dont know if it will get worse if my dose was made stronger. | I have only taken the tablets days 2-6 and have not got to my next cycle yet so i am hopeful... good luck to every one x | F | 23 | 5 days | 4/28/2008 | 2 | trying to conceive | This drug thinned my uterine lining very badly and dried up all cervical mucus. I was put on estrogen to counteract the side effects, and the estrogen completely prevented me from ovulating. I have now had to take 4 months off of ttc and have had several anovulatory cycles. The doctor warned me that it could be months before my lining returns to normal. | F | 34 | 3 months | 4/26/2008 | 2 | Infertility | Mood Swings! Uncontrollable crying, ovarian cramps, cysts, and the hot flashes were aweful. Started at 50mg then went gradually to 150mg. At 150mg it was the worst! I was contastly hungry. Increased appeitite for sure. Protein is the trick there. Lots of protein to sustain hunger. My doctor just put me on Femara for my next round of fertility drugs. My poor husband has hung in there like a champ! He just says, "You're having a Clomid moment, right?" Noticed vaginal dryness, not good when you're trying to conceive! Some headaches, nothing Aleve couldn't handle. | Clomid didn't work for me, but there are plenty of women who it has worked for. Everyone is different and other than normal female side effects, it isn't that bad. If you Doc prescribes it first round, go with the flow. Don't be surprised if you start at a low dose and it increases over months. At 150mg, I had huge ovaries at the sonogram and then took the shot of HG drug to release the eggs. Still not pregnant. Hoping Femara is better. Email me if you have questions. Happy to share. I'll try to post about Femara after I take it. | F | 37 | 4 months | 4/24/2008 | 4 | PCOS | Only slight dizziness | This is my first month on 50mg of clomid cd 3-7. Today is cycle day 8 and so far I have had spells of slight dizzines but nothing I can't handle. One week from today I go for a sono we'll see how it goes. | F | 32 | 1 months | 4/21/2008 | 5 | Anovulatory Cycles | Hot flashes, extreme irritability, moody (clo-moodiness) extreme mood swings, irritation, inability to keep my mouth shut (especially when talking to my MIL), and the strangest thing, lower back pain but no clue if it's clomid related or not. | I am a CD 5-9er and I just finished my last pill (50mg) of my first cycle today. I thought all was fine and dandy until the 4th pill..then I turned into evil woman and I'm feeling bitter about anything and everything and I'm short tempered and just generally a witch. But, if this gets me PG then I don't care how horrible I am. | F | 25 | 5 days | 4/20/2008 | 2 | Not ovulating | None! | I have had no side effects on the pill...my first round was 100 mg. My second round was 200mg..i hope i ovulate... | F | 25 | 2 months | 4/18/2008 | 3 | Annovulation | Severe Bloating, very tired and a little snappy but after the 5 days of taking clomid were over (Day 5 through Day 9), the symptoms went away. | On my 1st round of Clomid (50 mg) because I do not ovulate for one reason or another. I am on cycle day 17 and still no ovulation. DOES ANYONE know if it takes a few months on Clomid to start ovulating or DOES ANYONE KNOW of anyone that ovulated after Day 17 on Clomid????? I am currently using the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor (supposed to be the best..though expensive). I am also doing acupuncture once a week to warm the ovaries and relax through this whole process. Fingers Crossed!!!! | F | 28 | 17 days | 4/15/2008 | 2 | PCO | This drug made me almost have a mental breakdown. I was crying uncontrollably last night, on the highest dose I have been on, 150mg. Maybe it is dose related. I will not do it again. Hot flashes, nausea, bloating, depression, irritable...for me the mood swings have been the worst. | F | 32 | 5 days | 4/8/2008 | 3 | annovulation | no side effects on 50mg. Had calming effect. Did help regulate my period. Big change on 100mg. Random migrane headaches, Hot flashes like crazy, easily emotionally upset, husband says "your no fun on clomid" :) Good luck to everyone! | F | 27 | 2 months | 4/5/2008 | 4 | Not ovulating | I had no side effects while taking my first 5 day cycle of 50mgs. However, when I finished the cycle I began to notice becoming increasingly irritable, depressed, and forgetful. The hot flashes are frequent as well. I am also super tired. I also experience some cramping, but nothing too serious. | It seems that the side effects are different for everyone. It is nice to have some cramping again. It gives the hope that something is happening. | M | 28 | | 4/4/2008 | 3 | trying to conceive | This is my 2nd cycle on 100mg and last night I wanted to scratch my legs off. I washed my feet and legs, slathered them in cream, then hydrocortisone cream and covered with socks, but still itched like crazy into the night. Finally took 2 benedryl and this morning things are ok. I hope I get pregnant so that I don't have to have any more itchy leg syndrome!!! | 1st cycle I definitely ovulated (based on u/s and progestrone), but didn't get pg. Hoping for more luck this time. | F | 40 | 5 days | 3/31/2008 | 3 | Infertility | I'm especially sensitive to all kinds of drugs, but Clomid didn't do anything horrible to me. Fatigue, BIG ovarian cramping, and who knows if the moods are the Clomid or frustration over trying to conceive. | Currently on my second cycle of Clomid, obviously the first one didn't do the trick but my friend did remind me that this drug is supposed to take 3-6 months to work. | F | 33 | 5 days | 3/27/2008 | 4 | annovulation | I have been so tired!!!and slightly moody and emotional...I just finished my 1st round of clomid 50mg and waiting on ovualtion..I am on day 15..no other side effects..not too sure if I am satified yet as this is my 1st time taking it..but I am satisfied to hear all the positive outcomes..we ahve tried for one year | F | 32 | 5 days | 3/25/2008 | 2 | Infertility | Ended up with a migraine for over a week, bloated, husband would not come near me due to my moodiness, nauseated, and others that were more mild, sore breasts, emotional... | I am now going to be put on Femara as supposedly the side effects are less when it comes to headaches, but will require more monitoring.. | F | 29 | 5 days | 3/20/2008 | 4 | not ovulating | BAD headaches and insomnia | I am pretty sure I ovulated (at least I hope so). I had two similar pink lines on my ovulation test, 6 days after my last dose. Just be sure to take the ovulation tests 4 days after your last dose, because clomid can affect the results and give a false-positive. I have to wait to get my blood drawn in a week to be sure that I did ovulate. | F | 31 | 5 days | 3/18/2008 |
