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).

 4  Infertility INSOMNIA I am on my second round of clomid and had no idea that insomnia was a side effect. I don't sleep well anyway, and last month I did have several bouts of insomnia - how long is this supposed to last - just the days you are taking it or the whole cycle? I've only taken my first dose today ... need sleep! F 32 2 months

 1  Infertility I experienced all effects on clomid and they seemed to get worse over the period of dosages I would take. Day 1 started out with feeling overly anxious,depressed, paranoid, Day 2 stomach ache,day 3 I was ready to run thru a brick wall(mentally) and I was so iiritable by this point, Next was chest pain, difficulity breathing,restlessness, couldn't focus, hot flahses and heart rate would be very rapid or flutter, I also was extremly dizzy. It made me into a monster. I ended up going to the ER and found out I was allergic to the drug. It is a very low percentage of cases but I (who have no drug allergies) felt very confident that I would not have the side effects. The doctor in the ER said that Clomid will remain in my body for about another 5 days and currently I being treated with sterroids and benadryl to counteract the side effects of the drug. I was shocked that this happened. But reading thru some of the other listed stories I realize that I am not the only one who dealt with this. I was very disappointed in how my Fertility Spec approach me when I told her. I think that the bad side effects are more severe than people report or know about. I already have 1 child and am trying for #2...instead of this route I will go with natural ways diet/herbs, acupuncture etc rather than play with mother nature. F 31 5 days

 3  Trying to concieve The first 2 days on this medication were completely normal. I was quite suprised. But, by the 3 evening I turned into a crazy person. I cry all of the time for no reason and have become very depressed. I'm usually a very calm, happy go lucky person, but while on this medication, I am extremly angry and temperamental. My husband can barely stand to be in the same room as me, which is in turn, making me cry more. I also have been getting headaches. Despite all of the side effects, the drug is working. Hopefully, we will get pregnant this time around, so I won't have to use it again. I do have some cramping due to the fact that I'm ovulating. F 26 5 days

 3  To ovulate Only hot flashes I took my first dose of 50mg on 02/09/08 for 5 days. Im pretty sure I ovulated at the end of the month much later then I should have. Has anyone else had their period pushed later because of clomid? F 27 1 months

 4  Unexplained Infertility Happiness, calm and mellow attitude in life. This for me is a wonderdrug. It is my first cycle and I don't have any negative side-effects, I'm on day 5 of my first round. Ever since the birth of my first child I've felt "out of whack" and now on Clomid I'm myself again...hmmmm, this is great! HOpe it works and we get preggers! F 32 5 days

 4  unexplained infertitliy slight periodic headaches and mild nausea the first 2 days; some bloating. I actually feel less irritated on clomid compared to the mood swings, irritability and depressions while taking provera. I'm only on day 4 of taking clomid, so I'm crossing my fingers that this is THE month! F 30 4 days

 3  Clomid Challenge Test I started having hot flashes on day 5 of taking Clomid, which was my last day of 100MG for 5 days. It has continued for 4 days now. The hot flashes are wild. The come on very quickly and last for 10-15 minutes. I had a few emotional "episodes" that I can only credit Clomid for since they are so out of character for me. F 39 5 days

 4  To fall pregnant and complete Ovul. Hot flashes thats about it. Could sit by an aircon and have it full ball to cool myself down. At night body temp very high. This is my 1st month on Clomid (50) and I am on day 3.My Hubbie and I have been trying for 14months with no success. We found he had a slight problem but it has been rectified. We went to Gyne and he looked at Hubbioe's results saw no problem and did my scan and suggested Clomid to help with pregnancy. He did mention that I don't complete my ovulation cycle however I have tested for the SURGE and the last 2 months I have been spot on. I honestley hope this helps and I have a high multi preg rate in my family so we'll see what happens. Wishing all you ladies the best and I truly hope you are all blessed. F 25 3 days

 3  Unable to conceive Extreme Bloating, Bad Tempered, Angry, insomnia This is my first time taking Clomid. I have a 12 yr old son.. but have had a new partner for the last few years and have not fallen pregnant in this time. I never had regular periods, so its always been hard. I am currently on day 14. I took Clomid on day 3-7 and found that i had a postive reading on my ovulation predictor test on day 11.. which i thought was a little early. I have only noticed my side effects over the last 2 days. My partner has pointed it out to me, that i'm angry and moody, and he's been avoiding me!! I do agree now with this, but the worst of it is the bloating... i cant sleep, and feel terrible.. lets hope i can get a good result in a few weeks though :-) F 30 1 times

 3  PCOS & Annovulation Moody & emotional. Nauseated all the time; occasional migraines. At least I have a regular cycle on clomid. Before clomid I never had a regular period, except for on the pill. I am currently on 100 mg on days 3-7. Last month I "surged" for the first time ever while tracking. I hope this will finally prove useful for pregnancy. F 24 8 months

 3  Infertility severe headache, blurry vision, abdominal pain This is my second cycle of clomid and the first cycle I had very few side effects (if any). This cycle, however, I have a severe headache and blurry vision. Additionally, I am having moderate pain in my abdomen and lower back. Although this might not be purely a result of the clomid (as I am currently on CD3 and AF is still here) I did not experience this during my last cycle. Further, AF has been markedly different this month it feels more severe than non-clomid cycles. As far as the way I would rate clomid, it did work to get me super-ovulating...but I am not pregnant. The RE suggests 3 months on clomid before advancing to more agressive measures. F 25 2 months
