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)

 4  PCOS and Infertility Hot flashes I took Clomid CD5-9 for 4 months. It worked, I ovulated. No pregnancy. Hot flashes were the only side effect. Very tolerable. F 26 4 months

 3  irregular ovulation hot flushes, dizziness, depression, short tempered, light headed, constantly tired. I hope I never have to take it again, the only thing keeping me going is having a baby at the end of it. F 27 13 months

 3  PCOS EXTREME mood swings. Almost like fits of rage that last about 5 minutes. Took my last pill on Sat. Due for follicle study this Friday, 4/20. Trust me when i say that I am willing to do/try anything to conceive, but I am not sure that I will be able to keep my job/husband if I continue with Clomid. The fits of rage are scary. Good luck to everyone! F 33 1 days

 3  PCOS, TTC Moody, Headache, bad cramping in lowerback, and ovary area. None to report right now taking for TTC with IUI F 27 2 weeks

 4  infertility side effects were not that bad, but I did have headaches, hot flashes, slight nausea, and cramping on days 5-10. I am currently on my second month of clomid w/IUI. First try did not result in pregnancy. However, clomid helped me to produce three good size follicles last month with ovulation on day 16, so to me that is a success. Side effects were not that bad - very tolerable, especially if the outcome is a baby! F 35 5 days

 2  irregular ovulation Hot flashes, mood swings, HUGE increase in feelings of depression. We have been TTC for 15 months, during which I detected ovulation only 3 times. This is only my 1st month taking Clomid (50 mg). I took it on CD 5-9 like the doctor told me to, and she said I should ovulate on day 14. I got positive OPK results on days 12, 13, and 14, but my BBT has not risen yet. It's CD 16 and it looks like it's going to be another anovulatory cycle. I am trying not to let it upset me, but it doesn't help that the side effects intensify the depression I already have. I have definitely noticed an increase in suicidal thoughts; my brain keeps telling me if I don't ovulate I might as well just go ahead and off myself. My husband is 20 years older than I am and I just don't think we have the time to continue TTC for years and years. We can't afford some of these thousand-dollar fertility treatments, so if this doesn't work I guess I'll just end up a lonely widow with a bunch of cats. F 25 1 months

 5  to get pregnant! I had them all hot flashes, mood swings, head aches, I got pregnant with my first child using four rounds of clomid with the last dose being 100mg , it is all worth it .I have a beautiful little girl! That's all I wanted. She is now 3 years old and we are trying for baby no# 2. Wish me luck ! I am on round 3 at 1oo mg . hang in there if you are trying! F 34 3 months

 1  Infertility migranes, moodiness, depression, fatigue, an overall nervous tension, pain in my right ovary, bloating and weight gain I ovulate regularly but my Dr. put me on clomid to increase the effectiveness of an IUI. I was excited to start this treatment, but I have to say I will never use this drug again. I can't handle feeling this way. The depression and mood swings are the worst! We are going to try accupunture and lifestyle changes if the IUI doesn't result in a pregnancy. F 30 5 days

 3  Infertility Nausea, frequent urination, feeling of being sad and lonely, sleepy. Loss of interest in general, cold like symptoms- runny nose and cloudy head, forgetfulness and generally feeling like im stupid. Some abdo pain. I didnt have any symptoms during the 5 days taking Clomid 50mg, these have all been from about day 13 onwards. Im on my second round of Clomid 50mg. The first round i started it fairly late in the cycle, so i wasnt surprised I didnt fall pregnant. About half way through second now, so we can only see what happens this time round. F 34 2 months

 4  INFERTILITY - LOW OVULATION HEADACHES, NOT MUCH MORE CRAMPING THAN WHEN I HAD A PERIOD DEFINITE WEIGHT GAIN I'M NOW IN MY 6TH MONTH OF TAKING CLOMID AND SO FAR I'M NOT PREGNANT, VERY MUCH DISAPPOINTED BUT WILL KEEP TRYING. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND CLOMID, IT DOES WORK FOR OVULATION. F 29 6 months

 3  Unexplained Infertility None on 1st cycle of 100mg, 3rd, 4th, or 5th cycles of 50mg. On 2nd cycle of 100 mg had hemmoragic corpus luteum/& 4mm cysts on each ovary causing pain that lead to ER visit. Watch that you're not over-medicated, start w/ smallest dosage & work up. If you ovulate on a small dosage, use that. F 25 5 months

 3  Unexplained infertility Cramping, slight moodiness, hot flashes, and headaches and now I'm at CD 23 and I have breast tenderness and nausa This is my first round of Clomide 50 mg. I Took clomid CD5-9 and experienced some side effects, but I didn't think they were too bad. If I get pregnant from them, I don't care how bad they make me feel. I have some pregnancy symptoms now, but they are also clomid side effets, however I'm not sure how long those side effects should last since I'm on CD 23. I'll take a pregnancy test in 7 days...so hopefully I'll have some good news F 23 1 months

 4  Infertility NONE! Well, maybe a little bloating/slight headache but that also could've been side effects from my period I am on my first cycle (50 mgs, days 5-9) but feel better emotionally than before I took it. We'll see what happens F 32

 3  irregular ovulation (SR update) Good side effects were that period pains suffered for years appear to have gone. Breast tenderness appears to have gone. Bad side effects are still insomnia, intense hot sweats and bad tempers like you wouldn't believe. Been on clomid now for 3 months. Each month think this is the one to make me pregnant. Back at the hospital in April for results and what happens next. Will write and update after that. F 36 3 months
