I have been on clomid for 2 months. I started at 50mg. and didn't ovulate.
So, they upped it to 100mg. The side effects were interesting.
I broke out in a rash all over my face and behind my ear and on my stomach.
I also was EXTREMLY moody and emotional.
Thank God for a great understanding husband.
So, today is day 17 of my cycle and I think I ovulated on day 14,
like my dr. was hoping! I had pains on day 11,12,and13 of my cycle.
I guess they were ovulation pains!! Now, I have some cramping?
Does anyone know if that is normal?
I am 22, still a baby in some of your eyes!! Well,
best wishes, and I am so happy to read all your stories!
I would love to hear from you!

I went on 50 mg of clomid in January and conceived that month
with little side effects. Mild hot flashes and headaches.
Unfortunately, I miscarried in February,
so I am back on clomid again in March.
I am on day 4 of taking the pills and have
been experiencing headaches daily.
I am convinced, however,
that clomid does work!

Hi everyone in clomid world!
I'm currently on 100mg cycle (D5-D9) and today is day 13 of my cycle.
I had taken 50mg previously for 6 cycles and go pgnt on the last cycle.
Unfortunately I lost the baby at 12W.
I had hot flushes, headaches and bad mood swings on 50mgs so you can
imagine my excitement when I was told that I should double
the dose after a further 2 months on 50mg (post misc)
didn't do anything to improve my cycle.
Good news on 100mg, absolutely no side effects, go figure.
Today I had a blood test to see where I am.
I'm so nervous and anxious.
Let's hope this time it works.
Keep you posted if it works.
Good luck to all.

This is my first time taking clomid. I'm currently taking 50mg.
I didn't experience any side effects D5-D8,
but on the last day I had an abundance of hot flashes.
I seriously thought something had gone wrong.
I'm 23yrs old, and planning to get married later this year.
My boyfriend and I had been trying to conceive for the past six mths,
and nothing happened.

So I saw my gyne and she recommmended clomid.
She has me on it for three moths and if nothing happens,
then she says we would run some tests. I hope everything goes well.

Thanks to everyone who has shared there lives, and experiences with us.
Hopefully in a few months I can write you all back with some good news.
If not I'll still keep in contact.

QUESTION:
Subject: clomid
I just started my first cycle on Clomid. My doc had me begin with 50 mg.
from day 5-9 and i have been experiencing some really uncomfortable side
effects, i believe. Since about day 9 of my cycle, i have been battling
daily moderate to severe nausea and moderate menstrual-type cramping as well
as fatigue. Has anyone else heard of these symptoms or experienced them? I
called my doc about them on day 12 or 13 and she said i was probably
ovulating, but it is now day 21 and it continues. Also as of day 19, i began
to have breast tenderness. Please don't think i am a hyperchondriac, but i
am wondering if this could be side effects from the Clomid, the flu, or a
combination. Any guidance you could give would be greatly appreciated!

ANSWER:
At cycle day 21 you could very well have conceived and are experiencing pg
symptoms. The earlier symptoms are common after ovulation as the
progesterone levels rise (nausea and breast tenderness).
You may want to get some pregnancy tests ready!
Love and positive, eggly thoughts :o}

I had my first cycle on clomid and started on 50mg.
I felt fine and appeared to have hardly any side effects.
On day five I became really moody.
The first try was a failure and when I went in
for my first ultrasound on the second cycle I discovered
that the clomid had given me cysts on my ovaries.
I had to go on b/c pills for a month and then
I could do the clomid again.
This time they put me on 100 mg and ovulation did occur.
I am now waiting for the beginning of the week to find out if I am pg.
Best wishes to all!

My experience with clomid was not a pleasant one due to all of the side effects.
I gained about a pound a week for every week I was on the
medication, finally deciding to stop after two months. I also experienced
extreme depression and very painful cramps around the time of ovulation. I
have been diagnosed with LPD after having a miscarriage and thus was the
reason for the clomid. Because of my personal experience, I have opted for
progesterone cream instead, once a pregnancy occurs. This may be an option
for those of you out there who are experiencing a similar situation.

A few months ago I was on clomid for three months 50 mg the first month I
ovulated but not pregnancy the next two no ovulation. I did get hot flashes
the other thing I had was extreme moodiness. I did not let them increase it
because I felt suicidal. I am now on glucophage and intend to try clomid
again in a few months.

I have been on Clomid for 3 cycles with no luck.
My hot flashes are incredible. My AF is so heavy I go through 1 pad/hr.
That's worse than hot flashes!
