| 3 | unexplained infertility | No side effects first month. A few side effects in the 2nd month. Really bad the 3rd month. Weepy, depressed, very emotional. Ovulatory pain. Headaches. The emotional symptoms are so bad, I don't think I can take this medication again. | F | 33 | 3 months | 10/16/2007 | 3 | PCOS | Weepy, moody, headaches, nothing severe just the crying | I am on day 28 of my cycle and this is my first month. I am on the 50 mog and the provera to start my period. Waiting to CD 35 to do preg test! Wish me luck! | F | 25 | 1 months | 10/13/2007 | 5 | PCOS | Dizziness and abdominal pain | Had first child no problem @ 23, now I am diagnosised with PCOS less than 3 months ago. My dr has done laproscopic surgery and cleaned up as much of the cysts as possible. Then he did a hysterosalpingography (shooting dye into fallopian tubes)and they are clean. This is my first cycle on clomid 50mg (days 5-10) and they did an ultrasound on day 14 and I had 2 follicles over 2.89 so the doctor was pleased. I had blood draw today and 7 days til I can take a pregnancy test. The side effects were tolerable if you just stay focused on the end result. My poor husband could just breath in my space and I was ready to bite his head off, so find a good support team before going forth with the meds. | F | 30 | 1 months | 10/3/2007 | 4 | ovulation | Hot Flashes at night | HOPES THAT IS WORKS ON FIRST TRY. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD AND HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR ANOTHER CHILD FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS NOW. NO PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. | F | 28 | 5 days | 10/1/2007 | 3 | Infertility | Hot flashes!! First day I had a slight headache and slight dizziness, but overall, just the hotflashes. | We have been trying to get pregnant for 2 1/2 years, after many, many tears and the run-around from my Dr. I found one that was willing to help us! So, this is my first round of Clomid (50mg) and I feel great, I am very optimistic. This is CD 4 and I am taking Clomid on CD 3-7. My Dr. is also having me take 3mg Estrogen 2 times per day for 4 days, and progesteron for 12 days later in the cycle. So, I pray that this may be the month that we have our miracle little baby! Thank you all for your comments, as they have helped my spirit so much. (ok, maybe I'm a little emotional too) | F | 26 | 5 days | 9/30/2007 | 3 | Not Getting Preg/IUI & Clomid | Nausa, Severe Headaches, Tired, Mood Swings, Depression, No Sleep, Hot Flashes. Second time in 2 years, no success. | My headaches started on day 2 of treatment ( I have taken 2 Cycles this year). My side effects left after two weeks. Then the day before my period and the day of were the worst. All of my side effects hit me in those two days. I could not even work it was so severe. Please be careful when taking this drug. There seems to be a common connection with side effects and age. All of us in our mid to late 30's seem to be having issues. He wants to put me on Letrozole, which I found out is what they give Breast Cancer Patients. No thank you. This is not natural. I will try acupunture and herbs, I will feel a lot more like myself. | F | 37 | 2 months | 9/27/2007 | 3 | Infertility | Hot flashes, excruciating painful ovulation, VERY moody and irritable, bloating, cramps, hungry all the time, overall fatigue. Similar to PMS, but worse with bad headaches and pain in my ovaries. | 3rd cycle on 50 mg clomid, this time with HCG trigger. Not pregnant yet, but has made me produce nice big eggs right at days 13/14. Dr. prescibed me Tylenol 3 for the pain wich has helped this month. | F | 37 | 3 months | 9/12/2007 | 4 | Polycystic ovaries | Hot flushes, painful ovaries | I became pregnant with my daughter on the very first round of clomid. We are now trying for #2, same effects this time, no severe problems and it worked the first time so we are very optimistic. | F | 30 | 1 months | 9/5/2007 | 1 | Anovulation | Extreme mood swings,hot flashes, optical migraines | I was left to deal with no pregnancy and further fertility treatment being put on hold because of cysts caused by the Clomid. | F | 40 | 3 months | 9/3/2007 | 3 | Unexplained infertility | On my first cycle of Clomid 50mg. I was worried after reading about all the side effects but it hasn't been that bad. Only mild hot flashes, mostly at night, on day 5 a headache and possible bloating. I hope it doesn't get worse on any subsequent cycles, and really hope that it helps me get pregnant. | F | 35 | 5 days | 8/29/2007 | 5 | fertility | None that I know of. | My husband and I tried to have a baby for 3 1/2 years. I finally did get pregnant but lost that baby at 12 weeks. SO 10 months after that my Doctor put me on Clomid and it worked the first time on it. We now have a beautiful 13 month old baby boy. I am actually about to start Clomid again Tommorrow so hopefully it works this month! | F | 25 | 5 days | 8/25/2007 | 3 | Anovulation/fertility issues | After second dose (at 100mg), very mild vague lower abdominal pain. Mild hot flashes. The pain subsided during the day and was gone by the end of the 5 day course. My RE wasn't concerned about it. I also noticed I felt a little tired and just a little 'off', not really my normal self. | I have taken a course of Clomid before but it was not timed correctly, I was foolish to stick with my family doctor until I went to a clinic. I recommend: if you are the the point of requiring Clomid, see a Reproductive Endocrinologist because you may require monitoring or more investigations. If you are taking Clomid, try to remind yourself often why you are taking the Clomid and forgive yourself immediately for any bad moods or feelings you are experiencing. The side effects should last during the five day course and you may have more intense PMS/Ovulation symptoms after. | F | 29 | | 8/21/2007 | 4 | low egg count | bad headaches, extremely nausous and at times got sick, tired, dizziness, insomnia, basically feel awful even 5 days after I stopped taking it. | My first round of clomid I had minimal side effects and ovulted great. My progesterone level 9 dpo was 57, although I did not get pregnant. I just finished my second round of clomid 100mg 3-7 and I feel horrible. The side effects were much worse the second round than the first ... ugh! Not sure if I can do a round 3 if I don't get pregnant this time. Keeping my fingers crossed, as this is HORRIBLE stuff. | F | 37 | 2 months | 8/18/2007 | 5 | no period, so not ovulating | I have taken Provera before and no side effects but I had an invaginal ultrasound done and the DR said that I have cyst on both of my ovaries and to try getting rid of them without surgery would be by taking Provera(10 MG) and Clomid(50 MG). The Provera gave me some horrible cramps but they are some what bearalbe. | I am on cycle day 2 and I am supposed to take the Clomid cycle days 5-9. My husband and I have been trying for 1 1/2 years. He was away for 4 months in infantry training and then is now deployed and has been gone for 7 months. He is scheduled to come home next week and I should be ovulating anywhere from days 14-21 the DR said. We hope and pray that this works. | F | 19 | 5 days | 8/14/2007 | 3 | unexplained infertility | Mood swings and hot flushes | On third round of Clomid, been TTC for what seems like years now. No idea if it's going to work, but will keep going till month 6. | F | 35 | 3 months | 8/14/2007 | 4 | not ovulating | Hot flashes mostly at night, bloating, pain around ovulation. | I have only been taking for 2 months first month on 50 m and it worked. On my second month 50 m , I sure hope to get pregnant this month.. | F | 25 | 2 months | 8/7/2007 | 4 | irregular/long cycles | mild hot flashes, some mood swings/crying, lower back pain/ovary pain/fatigue during Ovulation and period, creamy cervical mucus the week after Ovulation, nausea during luteal phase, brown spotting for several days before period arrived. | I think this drug is great for instant ovulating! I ovulated on day 21, taking 50 mg on days 3-7. I rec. using OPK tests and charting your temperatures each morning so you know when you've ovulated. Also, go in for a progesterone level blood draw 7 days past ovulation to see if you had a strong O. My level was 15.8 which is pretty standard. Used Evening Primrose Oil, Mucinex, and PreSeed to help increase cervical mucus. Not pregnant yet, but I have 3 more cycles to go! | F | 28 | 5 days | 8/7/2007 | 3 | Anovulation due to PCOS | Fatigue, mood swings, bloating and pain around ovaries, headaches, highly emotional. | I was diagnosed with PCOS in January 2007 and immediately prescribed clomid to assist with ovulation (taken on days 2-6 of cycle, which in turn was induced by Provera). The initial 50mg dose had no effect, and was increased to 100mg for the second cycle. This did induce ovulation, resulting in pregnancy, though I went on to miscarry at 6 weeks. When I again took the 100mg dose, subsequent to the miscarriage, it did not work. My consultant recommended an operation called laparoscopic ovarian drilling to remove the cysts. This was at the beginning of June, and the hope was that I would begin to ovulate naturally after the operation (as is the case for 80% - 90% of women). Unfortunately I did not and am currently on a cycle of 50mg of clomid and keeping my fingers crossed. Determined to remain optimistic, though becoming increasingly frustrated by the impact fertility treatment is having on my life. My husband has been amazingly understanding, loving and supportive throughout the past 8 m | F | 28 | 8 months | 8/3/2007 | 3 | Infertility - low progesterone | Moody, depressed, weepy, nausea, nervousness/anxiety, extreme abdominal bloating, increased mittlesmertz, extremely painful cramps,weight gain | This is my second month on clomid. I almost didn't take it the second round because of all of the side effects - particularly the weepiness, depression, and anxiousness. At work, I will cry over the most insignificant things. I manage a team of 15 people; this is extremely embaressing and uncharacteristic. I have to excuse myself from meetings to avoid crying in front of them. I am willing to put up with the side effects if it increases my chances of getting pregnant. I am going to try it for one more month (3 months total) if this round is unsuccessful, before trying other things. | F | 31 | 2 months | 8/3/2007 | 5 | anovulatory | None really. minor headaches not bad at all. | Became pregnant 1st cycle. I was on 50 mg. cycle day 3-7. | F | 33 | 1 months | 8/1/2007 |
