| 5 | PCOS - no ovulation | Headaches all day every day while taking Clomid, spots in vision, extreme mood swings. | Yes, Clomid did work for me - I ovulated all 5 times I was on it, didn't get pregnant and we are now moving onto Clomid + IUI. However, the side effects were awful for me. I only gave Clomid a 5 because it did work - I ovulated. It would be very unfair for me to give it a 1 because of the side effects if it does get me pregnant. I hate the side effects and if there was something else that I could do that would make me ovulate without the side effects, I would take it in a heartbeat. I tried getting my husband on board with more natural methods of inducing ovulation, but so far he's against it. | F | 27 | 5 days | 3/14/2007 | 4 | Not Ovulating | Overly emotional, weepy, cramping around ovulation and hot flashes. | 1st cycle I was on 50mg CD 3-7 made me ovulate and progesterone at 34. So far so good now I'm starting 2nd cycle with same dosage. Let's hope it works this 2nd time around. | F | 27 | 2 months | 3/7/2007 | 4 | irregular ovulation | I know it is early, but I am just so excited! So far, I am on day 2 of my first cycle, the side effects are insomnia and I am hyper and happier than usual. | I will check back later with how I felt the rest of the cycle and if it works! | F | 30 | 2 days | 3/7/2007 | 4 | Not ovulating regularly | Dull headaches (days 3-7), Severe fatigue, strong 'ovulatory' pains (days 3-7 and when ovulating), hot flashes in night | My cycles returned to 28 days the first month!! Not pregnant after 2 months but still hoping! | F | 34 | 3 months | 3/4/2007 | 3 | TTC | Nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, feeling depressed, moody | It's my first cycle with Clomid, a friend had warned me about side effects... | F | 32 | 5 days | 2/20/2007 | 4 | not ovulating | Hot flashes, night sweats, crying spells, high body temperature | 50mg did not make me ovulate the first month. 100mg made me ovulate the next 4 months but still no pregnancy. We then found out an additional culprit: my husband had a very low sperm count. We tried a round of IVF but it did not work. He has since been retested and his sperm count has increased enough to be able to try naturally with Clomid again. I don't like the side effects of Clomid, but it is MUCH less $ and MUCH less invasive than IVF! I hope we are on the right track now. | F | 26 | 5 months | 2/18/2007 | 3 | irregular ovulation | emotional outburst weepiness, depression, mood swings. Disturbed sleep patterns, waking with hot flushes. | Have been taking clomid for 2 months now. Previously, had baby normally, 4.5 years ago. Then miscarried 2 years ago. Not been able to become pregnant since. Test show irregular ovulation so giving clomid a try to see if things develop. | F | 36 | 2 months | 2/14/2007 | 2 | fertility | Started taking clomid Jan 31, 2007 (50 mg). cd 5-9. Very first day of taking it had headache, blurred vision, terrible mood swings - not patient with my two children 8y rs and 3 yrs - didn't know why until I read this web site and I'm darn glad I did because I felt terrible yelling at them, but didn't know why, now I know it was the clomid! Had horrible horrrible cramping and bloating, weepiness, depression, hot flashes, nausea, insomnia, bloating - EVERYTHING! I've been tested and my Dr. said all my levels are fine, have reg cd and O. Don't know why I'm not getting pregnant other than my age. I'm very healthy and fit (thankgoodness, I added sprints/running to my workout routine this week just to get this stuff to flush out of my system.) I thought all the symptoms would stop once I stopped taking clomid (I've only taken it one cycle) but still have the bad cramps and nausea. I'm on cd 19 and I really doubt this stuff worked for me. I'll be shocked if it did - but won't be taking it | I really want to congratulate all those who stuck it out on clomid and/or got pregnant! You are really lucky. Please be careful to all the rest of you ladies who take this drug like candy. I've read some sites where some take it without their dr. supervision. I am not certain this drug is safe - it can increase uterine cancer and cysts. Just be careful. | F | 41 | 5 days | 2/14/2007 | 4 | increase chances of pregnancy at 40 | I didn't have many side effects (day 3-8 100 Mg) that I recall at the time. It did work to stimulate more mature eggs (4!) and I had IUI about 10 days ago. I am now feeling very bloated and have to urine more so I don't know if that is the side effects of the Clomid due to my uterine lining being thicker, or signs of pregnancy - we shall see. This is my 1st Clomid Cycle. | F | 40 | 30 days | 2/13/2007 | 2 | PCOS | Extreme and frequent hot flashes, constant mild headache, vision changes, increased hunger, mood swings. | I guess if it makes me ovulate it'll be worth it. | F | 24 | 2 months | 2/7/2007 | 3 | help boost chance of getting pg | I took it cycle day 3-7 at night...I had a couple nights where I woke up sweaty..and I had a couple headaches...but so far so good it's not bothering me at all..I go in for an ultrasound in 2 days to check my follies and I hope they are good....then we will proceed with IUI.. | I just hope it works... | F | 33 | 5 days | 2/5/2007 | 3 | low prog. level | Hot flashes (I am usually the coldest person in the world), bloating, soreness during taking the pill. Now on cd 21 and I have had nausea, fatigue, food adversion, and weakness. I guess this is from clomid too. | My first cycle of clomid. I am on 100mg for days 5-9. My husband had a reversal in June 2005 and we had to take 7 mo. of last year due to Iraq deployment. We have a DD soon to be 13 and a DS about to turn 10. So we are hoping this works as he leaves again this year. | F | 29 | 5 days | 2/4/2007 | 4 | infertility | Somewhat frequent mild nausea and frequent hot flashes, especially at night. I barely slept last night because I kept waking up roasting hot and miserable. Cramping with what I hope will turn out to be ovulation. | Took 50 mg cd 3-7 after TTC for over 3 years I finally decided to do something about it. | F | 25 | 5 days | 2/1/2007 | 5 | Not ovulating | None | I started taking clomid 5 months ago for the first 3 cycles I was on 100mg days 2-6, then the last 2 cycles on 100mg days 2-10, I am now 6 weeks pregnant!! I would definately recommend this drug. | F | 27 | 5 months | 1/23/2007 | 3 | Increase ovulation | I had varying side effects each month I took the meds - three months. The first month I had severe cramping, Dr. checked for problems, but there were none. also experienced a little weepiness and tender nipples. The second month I had very few physical symptoms, but had mood swings and irritibility. The third month I just generally felt lousy and had severe depression which lasted 6 days lifted almost overnight. | Although the medication did stimulate my ovaries and I produced more than just one egg, I did not become pregnant. I suppose if I had all the suffering would have been worth it, but I made an appointment with my Dr. to try some other medication because the depression I experianced during my third cycle was so extreme and dangerous. | F | 29 | 3 months | 1/17/2007 | 3 | Unexplained Infertility | Severe mood swings, I cried each of the five days that I took it! After the five days, all symptoms went away. | On my first month, I went to the doc on the 16th day of my cycle and I had just ovulated on my own without the shot! Was very lucky as it's not so common to ovulate without the shot. I will definitely stop back by and update if I get pregnant within this six months. Doc says we have unexplained infertility, no reason we shouldn't have gotten pregnant already. We've been trying for 2 years and it's hard to even get my hopes up anymore, very discouraging. Hopefully this works! | F | 22 | 5 days | 1/16/2007 | 4 | PCOS | The only side effects that I ever noticed from the Clomid were hot flashes and mood swings which were mild. | Clomid helped me tremendously when it came to ovulating. On our 3rd round of 100mg cd3-7 we got pregnant with twins, only to lose them to an ectopic (which is not Clomid related). I would recommend that if any woman is having troubles ovulating or if you have been diagnosed with PCOS and you aren't already taking to ask your doctor about it. | F | 24 | 4 months | 1/4/2007 | 2 | infertility | I took 50 mg of Clomid from day 5 to 9 of my cycle. The first day I experienced bad cramps, mild nausea and a slight headache. My period, which lasts 8 days, stopped for 24 hours. I continued to take Clomid from day 6 thru 9 without further problems. However, I experienced severe ovulation pains, painful urination and abdomen sensitivity to touch and light pressure. Clomid did not increase the amount of eggs/follicles. I ovulated like I normally would without it. I have discontinued to take it, choosing IUI without medication. | Clomid is not for everyone. In my case, I only had negative effects and none of the positive ones. Hopefully IUI without it will work still. | F | 39 | 5 days | 1/4/2007 | 4 | To help me super ovulate | Bloating,headaches,mood swings;severe ovulation pain | My husband has low sperm count so doc placed me on clomid to super ovulate so we can have the best chance of conceiving naturally. I usually get ovulation pain but since on clomid it has increased 10 times.I can feel slight pain on the days leading to ovulation and then on the day of ovulation, massive pain. It is sometimes hard to have intercourse on that day but my husband and I still try.The pain usually subsides after about one to two days and starts all over again next ovulation. Trying to conceive 2 yrs now, low sperm count the major fertility problem. | F | 26 | 5 months | 12/31/2006 | 2 | PCOS | migraine every morning 6am, for all 5 days following clomid taken the day before. Severe visual affect, nausea and migraine. | Not worth it. Still not pregnant and not trying clomid again. | F | 35 | 5 days | 12/31/2006 |
