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)

 3  not ovulating hot flashes, slight weight gain, tired I am a runner and was put on clomid 50mg for "pretend" cycle days 3-7. Many follicles but only matured to 14mm so starting on clomid 100mg in hopes of follicles maturing so I can take trigger shot(ovidrel) to induce ovulation. F 27 3 weeks

 4  short luteal phase dizziness, hot flashes mostly at night, mood swings, depression when taking the pills on days 3-7 and a few days after, tingling sensation in my head, and painful ovulation Drinking lots of water seems to help the dizziness. My periods are more regular on Clomid. My cycle used to be 26-28 days and now it's closer to 30. F 35 2 months

Very uncomfortable feeling. That's really the only side effect I've experienced so far. I started 50mg. last month for five days. I still haven't gotten my period(and should have by now). I know I'm not pregnant yet either. So we'll see..... F 32 1 months

 4  Low P, Irregular Ovulation HOT FLASHES, Mood Swings REAL bad, Constipation, Fatigue, Headache This is our first cycle on Clomid. Started CD3-7 June 25th, Ovulated CD21. My Normal Cycle would have been CD35 or later. Had a LOT of O pain both sides 3 days before O until the day after. Lot of pressure, twinges, etc. I think I O'd from both sides.

 3  assist in ovulation 100mg: HOT FLASHES ALL MONTH LONG!!! Also experiencing a good bit of fatigue. Gave it a 3 just because we're not pregnant yet, but side effects haven't been too bad. They are completely worth it if we get pregnant! I've been charting since 06/06, and every month it appears I've ovulated, but RE wanted to start me on Clomid just in case. 1st tried Clomid (50mg) in Dec/06,(lots of ovulation pain lasted week before and after ovulation) but DH's SA came back 0-count, so we stopped the Clomid while he used HGH & HCG to raise testosterone, then Menopur(FSH?) injections to help with sperm production. Count came up to 30 mil & low motility w/in about 6 wks of starting Menopur. (RE was hoping for 5 mil....small miracles everyday!) Back on Clomid(100mg) for the last 3 months. LOTS of hot flashes and fatigue (wake up exhausted.) Lots of Neg Preg tests along the way. PCT this month....we'll see what's next. BTW, I highly recommend using www.fertilityfriend.com for charting. Awesome website, even if you just do the free basic membership like I do. Extremely helpful! F 28 3 months

 3  cant get pregnant HOT FLASHES, moody, cry easily, weight gain, headaches etc!! i got preg first time on my own & miscarried. after a while of trying, my dr put me on clomid. after the first round i got pregnant & miscarried. i decided not to try or think about it at all probably for a 9 months... right around the time baby would be due & then started trying again. after a few months got back on clomid. after 5 months and no pregnancy i'm giving it a rest again. it's to much disappointment. i'm going to give it a try again soon, in the mean time we're keeping our fingers crossed for the old fashioned way to work.

 3  low progesterone Mood swings, increased appetite, hot flashes, increased pain during ovulation, abdominal pain, mild but infrequent headaches. Also, I used to be on a consistent 28 day cycle, but I think Clomid might have lengthened it as I'm now on a 31-32 day cycle. My progesterone level after my first dose of Clomid was 65 so I knew that I had ovulated. Couldn't try the second cycle on it because my husband went out-of-town while I was O'ing, go figure. Hoping it worked this month!! F 30 3 months

 4  irregular ovulation 5 days at 100mg, for 3 months. Initially, mood swings, stomach cramps around ovulation. Insomnia. Depression. Tearfulness at the slightess thing. Had baby naturally 2002. Miscarriage 2004. Then 2.5 years of trying unsuccessfully. Hospital discovered not ovulating every month. Put on course of 3 months of Clomid. Not pregnant. Had break of 2 months without Clomid. Went back hospital for more clomid and whilst waiting for day 2 so could continue to take. Had pregnancy test at day 31 and wouldn't you know. Clomid must had kicked my body in to action again!!! Miracle drug in my opinion, *** to side effects its worth it, and it does work. F 36 3 days

 1  Infertility dizziness & fatigue I took it for 3 rounds. After the 3rd round the side effects never went away. The doctor told me that it wasn't the drug causing me to feel sick. After 7 months of visiting every doctor under the sun (and having a bunch of tests), they finally diagnosed me with a-typical migraines. I don't have the headaches but have a bunch of the other symptoms. They believe it was caused by a hormone imbalance from the Clomid. I stopped trying to get pregnant because I felt so bad. I am on migraine meds now and am going to find a new infertility doctor! F 36 3 times

 3  Not ovulating Dizzy, headache, occasional nausea, full of energy all day, but tend to be exhausted by 5:00 pm This is my second round of Clomid. I was at a 5 before taking clomid, the first month after clomid I was at 18. However, I did not get pregnant. I was in severe pain the week after taking the clomid. My husband and I had sex a few days before my est ovualation date and I had a little bleeding...then I had pain that ran from my abdomen all the way down both legs. I was in too much pain to even try to conceive. Dr said that a cyst may have formed and then burst causing this pain. I have just started my second dose, so maybe this one will be better. Only going to try when ovulating. F 28 2 months
