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  Low Progesterone Very emotional. Could cry over anything. Also my temper was short at times. Depressed a lot as well. My ovaries would hurt quite a bit around ovulation time. One thing my Dr did not tell me was that Clomid can dry you out and that this prevents the sperm from being able to stay alive and travel into your cervix and find your egg. I wish I would have known this at the beginning so that I could try something different. I had an hsg done which was very painful and the day after, had dry grey film in my vagina. It scared me and the dr' told me to douche and it will flush it all out. They acted like they had never heard of that before. I did douche and within a few days I was fine. I think it was because I was soooo dry inside from the Clomid that they dye stuck in there. WARNING: If Clomid makes you dry, you need to tell your Dr you need somthing to help you produce the correct fluids to help the sperm swim! And, read the book "Taking Charge of Your Own Fertility". It is a life changer. I have been trying for 2 years and just read the book a few months ago. Took Clomid for 6 months. My progesterone levels were way up but F 30 6 months

 5  No ovulation severe hot flashes, mood swings, pain while ovulating I have had 3 clomid conceptions so it works great for me. The first time I took clomid I took it for 5 months and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Second time I took it 3 months and had an ectopic pregnancy, really hard to deal with. Third time I took it 2 months and I am currently 13 weeks pregnant. F 26 5 times

 2  fertility Very emotional (always feel like crying), feelings of depression, EXTREMELY tired, about day 2-3 I was a walking zombie, just wanted to sleep, loss of appetite, abdomon is tender to the touch. This is my first round of Clomid (100 mg), went in for an ultrasound this morning and unfortunately I did not ovulate. Going back in to double check in a couple of days to see if anything has changed, if not than I need to increase my dosage next month which worries me because I was so emotional and tired it was scary. F 5 days

 2  PCOS Mood swings, feeling on the verg of crying while taking the pills, sleepiness, and HOT FLASHES. The first time I took Clomid I felt like I would cry at the drop of a hat (although I never did), I also had hot flashed. The second month; 100mg, I had mood swings, some slight abdominal discomfort, HOT FLASHES, and continued to feel the urge to cry (again, never really did cry). I was also testing for ovulation with the home kits (per my doctor's instructions). On day 15 of my cycle I got a positive "surge" result. I was ecstatic, but decided it would be best to have blood work done on day 21 just to be sure (against the advise of the doctor). Sure enough, the home positive was false. I had not ovulated. This month I am taking 150mg, in conjunction with a gonadatrophin injection and folicle tracking. I am hopeful that this will work this time. F 23 3 months

 3  unexplained infertility This is my first time taking clomid and I was worried about all of the possible side effects. I took it day 3-7. I actually also felt happier than usual during these days! I had one hot flash. I am now on CD 18 and for the last week have been experiencing headaches and mood swings that aren't normal for me. I can only assume it is from the clomid...? More leaning to feeling sad and depressed. F 31 1 months

 2  Thin-PCOS I'm on the Provera then Clomid Cycle. First round clomid 50mg 5/9, no ovulation, no symptoms. Second round 100mg 5/9, no ovulation and I had terrible hot flashes. It was very embarassing because I would turn bright red and sweaty about once every 40 minutes on my days 10-17. Third round of clomid 150mg 5/9. Today I am on day 9 (last dose of my clomid) but last night I was out with some friends and flashes of light appeared everywhere. My vision was blurry and the lights had trails that seemed to vibrate around them. It scared me to death. Trying to get a hold of my doctor because it keeps happening today. I don't like this game. I keep thinking that there is something else wrong with me rather than this general diagnosis of "thin-PCOS". I'm young, I'm fit, 5'5'' 117lbs and had a normal period until age 25. Now this comes out of no where, my period stops, I don't ovulate and I have these 4 month cycles of breast tenderness and abdominal (ovary) pain. I may soon change doctors and go to a "real" endocrinologist, because something is just not right. F 27 3 months

 3  TTC ovulation nothing yet so far I have read some post that suggest to take it at night. I started my 1st round 5/9 and after dinner I take 50mg of clomid and my prenatal vitamins. So far no side effects, I think taking it at night is helping (sleeping through any effects) I will keep you posted. I hope it works 1st time as I have ready it does for some. (the provera, made me very moody, big time) F 35 5 days

 3  luteal phase defect First month, painful ovaries. Gave me 2 mature follices, but sex hurt. I was up one day at 4:30 AM with ovarian pain. At my post coital, I was told that the clomid likely changed the PH in my vagina and killed the sperm. My period was also 6 days late with over a week of cramping with lots of "pregnancy" symptoms that I researched were also clomid side effects. Now, month 2, having hot flashes, headaches for past 3 days. More emotional this time and general irritability. Taking 50 mg. Was told that we are doing AI this time to avoid my hostile mucous. We'll see. F 34 2 months

 5  irregular ovulation none Only used 50mg for one month in 12/02 and got pregnant. Would definitely use again if needed when trying for another pregnancy. Try to rest and relax when using it. Have a massage and get some fresh air. Allow the mind, body and spirit time to connect. F 35 5 days

 5  low projesterone This is my first month taking Clomid. I did feel some cramping, and really feel moody. I started crying in the grocery store two days ago. I also feel a bit depressed and bloated. Painful intercourse, as my ovaries and stomach are really sensitive. Planning on seeing it through for three months, and then trying the HG test. We've been trying for a year now. F 33 5 days

 4  unexplained infertility I really did not experience any bad side effects with my first cycle of clomid 50 mg. The drug actually made me feel more attentive and energetic. I start my second cycle of clomid 50 mg on Friday. The first cycle(CD 5-9) helped to produce 3 follicles but no success with pregnancy. Have been ttc over 1 year now. Hoping for success with clomid. F 34

I also had cramps and bloating. This is my second cycle on 50mg. I hope it works for me and for all of you too! F 26 2 months

 4  infertility None except for being "itchy". Head to toe- my armpits and legs felt like i had severe razor burn- I just felt itchy head to toe! No other explanation for it Used clomid for 3 cycles: 1st 50mg did not O- so went up to 100 mg next time- 3rd cycle of 100 mg I got pregnant but it only lasted about 8 weeks before I had a missed miscarriage- which means I went in to get my first ultrasound and they said "There is no baby anymore" then I had a d&c. I just started back on my first cycle of clomid since the D&C which was in Jan 07. F 29 8 months
