I've done 4 clomid cycles; they generally aren't that big of a deal. Most people on the board would recommend that you get monitored (internal ultrasounds)--or at least understand and accept the risks.

I didn't have many side effects from the clomid. Felt a bit bloated and had night sweats. Other than that, I didn't have any problems. Hope it works for you!
