Hello. Here is my Clomid experience.
I used to have normal periods when I was younger.
As I grew older, my periods became more irregular.
Therefore, because I wanted to have a baby, my doc put me on Clomid 50 mg.
This was over 5 years ago.

The only real side effect I had was a migraine on day 5,
which I don't normally get. The headache was incredible.
My daughter was conceived on this first cycle of Clomid.
She is now 5. I am now trying again for another baby
and having the same period problems.
I recently got done with the 1st cycle of Clomid (50 mg),
and I did not ovulate apparently. Again, on day 5, I had a migraine.
The doctor would like for me to start taking 100 mg of Clomid next cycle.
Needless to say, I'm scared and nervous.
If I had such a bad migraine on 50 mg of Clomid, then
I can only imagine what's going to happen on 100 mg.
Let's hope it works this time.
 



  EVIL CLOMID

My experience with Clomid was awful.

1st cycle @ 50mg, absolutely NOTHING happened--
I may as well have been eating TicTacs.
On the next round my doc tried 100mg
& all I got was hot flashes & nasty, migraine-like headaches.
After that she referred me to my RE, who tried the 100mg again
(same effects) & then she boosted me up to 150mg.
Not only did I have no positive reaction,
I was horribly depressed, angry and weepy.
Poor DH didn't know what to do with me...

I'm so glad that I'm on to injectibles now &
I hope I never see that awful Clomid again!
I know it works wonders for some,
but keep it away from me.

  This is my first month on Chlomid. I took 50mg of Chlomid from days 3-7.
During that time I experienced some hot flashes.
Once I finished the cycle of medication,
I experienced terrible mood swings.
I would either cry hysterically or scream because
something stupid made me angry. I felt like a raving maniac.
I also experienced dizziness spells, as almost I was going to faint.
Another symptom was I had some abdominal cramping on both the left
and the right side. Throughout this process,
my doctor kept a close eye on everything.
Right before I started my Chlomid, on day 2, I had an ultrasound
to measure the size of my ovaries. I went back on day 12 for a second
ultrasound. This again was to measure my ovaries and also to measure any
developing follicles. I had 2 follicles on one side and 1 on the other side.
I gave myself the HCG injection on day 12 (in the evening) to begin
ovulation. I went for an IUI on days 13 and 14. I just went for bloodwork
to test my progesterone level and it was 30.4. This means that ovulation
took place (they look for level of at least 10). It is now Sunday and I have
a few more days to go. On Wednesday, if I don't get my period, I go for a
pregnancy test. Both my husband and I are both nervous and excited.
Wish us luck!

  Hi,

I have been on clomid about 8 months.
I noticed that I got more and more depressed,
but I thought it was just me being prone to
depression.
Recently it got so bad that
I cried for the most silly reasons,
like an ad on tv.
I also have bad nightmares
and feel just terribly depressed.

I dont know if the clomid is to blame,
I hope so,
because then
at least
I can understand why I feel this way...
 



 

Taking clomid didn't make me uncomfortable physically, but because I'm 40, it made my cm thicker, which prevents sperm from getting in, and it made my endometrial lining thinner, which prevents implantation.
I don't recommend it for older moms ttc. What really makes me angry is that:
1. that dr didn't do any tests before prescribing Clomid and
2. he didn't tell me about the anti-estrogenic side effects that I just described. I read it in a book and confirmed it with my new r.e.
 



  I was on 1000-1500mg Glucophage for 3 months, then just took 50 mg of Clomid cd3-7. I have PCOS and my OB/GYN started me charting my bbt, which helps, but he can't tell if i've ovulated or not. I think he should be monitoring me, like others I hear about who know their follicles and progesterone levels and all that. My side effects were a bit of moodiness and night hot flashes that woke me up, but weren't too severe, mostly odd since I'm always cold.

Anyway, my cm dried up and it's uncomfortable to bd now. My OB was going to give me Estrogen, then changed his tune recently....i'm trying to switch to see an RE this month. I'm 26 and my dh is 28. This is our first time trying and it's a bit of a strain. I've become obsessed, but found a wonderful site, in addition to this one at www.babycenter.com.

I hope to post as a success soon, and i wish you all prayers and baby dust!! Remember to make love as well as bd!!

Jess
