I got pregnant the month I took clomid, just once. I was 39 when I conceived. I am trying to conceive now and it hasn't happened yet, even though I have taken three rounds of clomid. Waiting and hoping for a miracle this time.

And it did! I am 41 now and I just found out that Clomid worked again, I am pregnant.Thank you
 

I'm really appreciating reading all the different struggles and success stories. I really need them right now.

My husband, 32, and myself, 28, have been trying for 14 months now, with no success. I found out I wasn't ovulating, my progesterone level was at one. This month I was my first month on clomid and my levels went all the way up to 21. But I'm not pregnant. I'm super depressed about it. I feel like its happening all around me, except to me. I'm so discouraged but trying to lean on God for strength.

I'm praying this 2nd time will be good news.

Thanks everyone.
 

I'm 28, TTC for 2+ years, Clomid cycle 4

I am on my 4th round of Clomid. I've had intense hot flashes for a few days in the 1st 3 cycles but that was it. They upped my dosage from 50 mg to 100 mg this round (IUI scheduled when I O) and the hot flashes have lasted almost a week now and I am extremely emotional! I feel like I'm crazy and my poor dh gets the brunt of my sadness and anger! Lol but hoping this month I get a bfp! Baby dust!
 

I just finished my 5th month of Clomid, First 3 months at 100 mg and the last 2 months at 150 mg.

Right away I experienced night sweats/hot flashes, headaches, and strange painful lower abdominal pain during my cycle only (the pain so intense that I could not stand up straight and felt bruised for days afterward). The last 2 months on the 150 mg dose it started to affect my eyes....when in a dark room for lengthy periods I get shimmering in my peripheral vision and strange glowing lines when I move my head. I also get light flashes throughout the day, not only at night. I have confirmed that it is Clomid related and was told that the symptoms would stop after I stopped the 5 day doses each month and may reactivate when I take them again the next month.

WARNING: there is a possibility that the eye problems can last several YEARS. I have been taken off Clomid because of my experiences (and lack of success at such a high dose) but I am still experiencing the abdominal pain during my cycle and still have the eye problems (I even stopped driving at night). It has been 2 months since my last dose.

We all take this drug because we want children, just make a conscious choice and know the risks!

I just finished my first and only round of Clomid. On it I had hot flashes, I took it at night since I read that was easier but I never could get comfortable at night because I was hot then cold it was awful. I also suffered from a horrible migraine it lasted about 3 of the 5 days that I was on it! Then I was beyond thirsty, dry mouth and dry down below. Although I was on Provera before that so I was like the Sahara. The week after I finished (my O week) I started with this pelvic pain/pressure. I went to the doctor the following week when it was not gone, since I knew that it couldn't possibly be ovulation lasting this long. I was sent for blood work and an ultrasound which showed a small fibroid in the fundus of my uterus. It was not there before the provera and clomid therapies.

As I said this was my first cycle of Clomid, and as I learned it does create an environment of increased estrogen which yes can contribute to fibroids. In all of this I still did not get my BFP, I know that Clomid works for a lot of ppl that is why I decided to try it but in my case it did not. My advice to anyone thinking about taking it is to make sure that you are monitored. There should be blood work done and ultrasounds for follicle tracking.

Since then I have decided to stop with the lab created hormones and I purchased the Herbs for Her #8a to get rid of this fibroid before I continue to TTC.
