theworms · November 2009

what s/e did you experience?

if it worked how many follies did you produce?

did it affect your LP?

Thanks

LCB34 · November 2009

I'm probably a bad person to ask.

I had really bad s/e - the worst being blurry vision. My vision was so blurry that I couldn't drive for 2 days. Other than that I had hot flashes and just felt blah. I also didn't respond at all.

I had to bring on my AF via provera so I don't know what my LP would have been had I Od that month.

rachel06 · November 2009

I just had horrible headaches. I know quite a few people that got hot flashes but I didn't. It didn't work for me at all. I have not had AF on my own until this month so I am no help with the LP either.

OhBabyDear · November 2009

My only side effect was that I had really crazy hot flashes. Maybe once every hour, all day long. THat was annoying.

You can read my Clomid history in my sig. I responded, but not that well.

I know it helps others, but it didn't help my 7-10 luteal phase at all. good luck!

grazy · November 2009

I had to take Provera before I started Clomid. I didn't respond to the Clomid at all. It wasn't that bad. I was expecting worse. I had some headaches, and some hotflashes, but only at night. I took it right before I went to sleep. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! But I know some people have much worse s/e than me.?

Dragonfly1226 · November 2009

I took it at night before bed and didn't really have any side effects.

I wasn't monitored (I didn't really know any better at the time) so I don't know how many follies I produced.

It made my LP longer, and I actually Od a bit later in the cycle too.

Meepit · November 2009

S/E - Headaches, hot flashes, crazy moods, thin lining.

# Follies - I have no idea as I wasn't monitored with my OB (WHICH IS VERY BAD!!!). The one time I was monitored, there was nothing measurable, and my lining was thin enough that my doc said it couldn't support a pregnancy even if I did ovulate.

LP - Hard to say. My LP has never been measurable (unmedicated) as AF has never come with any regularity at all, and sometimes didn't show even when I was medicated and ovulating.

madelyn07 · November 2009

I had horrible hot flashes and was insanely moody.

I had 2 follies my first month, 3 my second. I ovulated on CD9 my first month, CD13 my second. First month I needed progesterone to bring on AF, second month AF arrived right on time.

Marchmiracle3107 · November 2009

I was pretty moody and emotional on it, but I also had a terrible time sleeping and night sweats each month I took it.

I had between 2 and 4 follies each month (I was on it for 6 months, but only monitored for 3 months)...my LP has always been pretty consistent, but on clomid it would change dramatically...range from 8 days to 18 days..

sweetky_06 · November 2009

No side effects. 50mg - produced 1 follicle each of the 2 cycles so far.

cjdub13 · November 2009

I had hot flashes at night, I was pretty moody, and got at least one bad headache each round. ?I took mine around 8 so I could just go to bed if it got bad. ?I was only monitored for follies on this round 4th- not sure why my RE didn't earlier, I went in for monitoring on CD 2-3. ?This cycle I had two large follies- 22 1/2 and 18 I think....

ashlyrose · November 2009

no s/e at all. taken in the morning or evening. I only took 50 mg though.

I wasn't monitored well with my OB. I know I did have 20-24 mm follicles, I don't know/remember how many.

No, no effect on LP

sliz · November 2009

i guess i am a weirdo in that i personally loved clomid

i had no side effects at all that were noticeable - i took mucinex to help cm

i love it because my babies were clomid twins - although we think it thinned my lining (we are still unsure though)

i made 2 follies at 18 mm by cd13 (took it cd3-7) the first time and got twins

i made 1 follies at 20 mm by cd12 (took it cd5-9) the second time and got a bfn

KearnsL23 · November 2009

I had a few headaches, but I get them all the time, so I can't be sure if the headaches were from the Clomid or not. After I took the last one, I had a few days of bloating and feeling like my ovaries were swollen and popping out of my body. Nothing too horrible to deal with. I think I ended up w/ 2-3 follies on one ovary....the one was a 24, significantly larger than I had gotten w/o meds. I think my LP was about the same. The ovidrel made me O on day 14, which is when I typically O.

epphd · November 2009

I didn't have much in the way of physical side effects, and my response wasn't all that great. I had one follie on 100 mg and 200 mg. My LP was fine to begin with and wasn't affected.

I did have a thin lining though - I think it made it up to 6-7mm or so.

All in all I wasn't all that fond of clomid. Had I to do it again I think I might have requested femara, simply since it seems to have fewer anti-estrogenic side effects (thin lining, dry CM, etc).

WishLuckyStar · November 2009

Clomid gave me hot flashes...like I want to rip my clothes off hot flashes, night sweats and it made me very emotional. It also extended my LP by 2 days, and it was 16 days long to begin with!

But the good news is that it worked well for me, I ovulated from both sides (although still BFN) so it did it's job well.

GL to you!!

Mr. & Mrs. Woodtick · November 2009

what s/e did you experience? The first cycle I was on Clomid I had experienced really bad O pains on the left side starting CD 5. They were so bad I was sure that I had produced too many follies. I also had night sweats. This cycle I didn't have either of those problems.

if it worked how many follies did you produce? Both cycles I only produced one follie on each ovary.

did it affect your LP? Not last cycle. It also didn't effect my lining.

Echloe · November 2009

I didn't respond to clomid. : (

My stupid OBGYN didn't even monitor me so I took it for 3 months. By the 3rd month I had switched to the RE and she saw that I only had one sad follie at 100mg clomid.

My side effects were mild. I just had mood swings.

MichelleL1118 · November 2009

I havent have any noticeable side effects yet, but this is my first clomid cycle. I produced one 22 or 24mm follie, then triggered with Ovidrel on day 14. It does seem to have drastically reduced CM... my lining was fine. Not sure about LP b/c I'm only a few days past trigger, and I don't O regularly on my own anyway.

this is me too. my worst s/e was an episode where i heard and felt a pop in my head, everything went white, and my vision was off for the next day or so. vertigo, nausea, and diarhea accompanied this. . . and that was my last attempt at clomid. i got bad headaches and BAD temper on every dosage.

schoolsoutbride · November 2009

I was on 50mg CD5-9.

I had some hot flashes/night sweats, but nothing bad. Some moodiness. That's it.

Not sure b/c I was on progesterone too.
