Clomid (clomiphene) "I took Clomid for the first time days 5-9 and the side effects are the worst! I already have heart problems so I thought that's what was going on. I went to the ER for severe chest pain and all tests were negative. After researching I realize it's bad indigestion. I also have Fibro and am used to back pain but Clomid gave me the worst back pain I've ever felt along with nausea and migraines. I have to lay down or walk hunched over so relieve some pain. I've also been extremely fatigued.I had to nap 3 times a day for a few hours and still feel exhausted. My uterus feels so sore and heavy. I'm on cycle day 15 and still showing a flashing (OPK) Ovulation Predictor Kit. Hopefully tomorrow is peak day so I can get pregnant already!"

Clomid (clomiphene) "In 2012, I was prescribed 50mg of Clomid. On the 3rd cycle, I got pregnant and now my daughter is 10. I have endometriosis and I am trying to conceive baby number 2. I just finished my first cycle of 50mg Clomid and currently I am 4 days past ovulation. The waiting to test is the worst."

"Hi we are on our 4th cycle of clomid the first three cycles were 100mg of clomid day 2-5 with added 1000mg of metformin I did ovulate on first month as progesterone was 60+ however month 2 and 3 didn't bring on a period or pregnancy. I am now on cycle 4 and my dr has upped my dosage to 150mg I am 4 days past my period due date but negative. Life is a complete misery I don't know what to do. Can you ladies please update regularly on this."

Clomid (clomiphene) "Hi guys, I have been trying to conceive about 3 years but no luck, I had an issue with period and I don't ovulate, So 2021 my OB put me for Letrozole 5 mg for 5 days but unfortunately my egg growth is not good, OB said because of my weight my egg is not growing, so me and my husband lose hope, and then a miracle happens this year. Again I went to a OB on March then they look an ultrasound and then OB prescribed me Clomid 100mg for cycle day 3 to 7, so then on 12th cycle I went for an Ultrasound to check the follicle growth, then on my right there are no follicles, on left I had 21mm and 16mm follicle, so on that day doctor gave a Hcg injection to ovulate, so on 13th cycle I ovulated, and I wait for 9dpo to check pregnancy but it's shows negative, again I feel it doesn't work, so finally I missed my period so after 3 days, Today I took a pregnancy test, it's came positive, Clomid 1st cycle was been a success. I will pray for all those who are going through this infertility!"

"It is a very wonderful medicine in helping you start a family of your own. I know because for the first time in my whole life I'm ovulating with everything heading my way of dreaming to have a baby. My husband and I tried for many years with heartaches and tears rolling down our faces. Finally, I feel there are hopes and prayers for women who are battling with polycystic ovarian syndrome. I am half way done with getting pregnant, all I hope for is the egg meeting the sperm and reaching home base. "

Clomid (clomiphene) "I'm using Clomid for the second time now for IVF. The 1st time we used it to produce lots of healthy eggs for IVF. That was a success, but the IVF didn't take. Now, 2 years later I have one open tube and doc gave me Clomid to ensure I ovulate on my open side...I'm on day two now. Minor headache... But nothing worrisome. I'm hopeful I'll have some good news in a couple of weeks. Hubby and I have been TTC for a year and a half now"

Clomid (clomiphene) "Hi guys. I'm 36 years and I've been trying for baby #2 since 2017. I had a laparoscopy surgery in November 2021 and my OB/GYN put me on Fertomid 50 from day 1-5, not sure why as my periods are regular. My first clomid cycle was in December and I didn't get pregnant. I'm currently on my 2nd cycle and I'm hoping and praying that I get pregnant this cycle. Goodluck to all the ladies on this TTC journey"

Clomid (clomiphene) "Tried this in order to start a family. I had some pretty awful eye problems while taking it. I'd have to wear sunglasses most of the day with a constant ache starting on about day 4 of 10. Still, it was worth it to try to have a baby. I didn't get very many rounds though. Due to an unexpected life circumstance, we had to stop trying. I'd like to give it another shot though when life settles back down. I felt that it may have been helping. Oh and it revved up my already-high libido by ten times."

"So when I used clomiphene the first time I got pregnant and miscarried at 7 weeks. I used it for the second time and I ended up getting my period. I'm about to use it for the third time and I'm scared. Why did it fail the second time and will it work the third? My husband and I got all sorts of tests done with our fertility doctor prior to being prescribed this need. Safe to say he's fine and I am good to go. But my doctor did suspect mild pcos on my end."
