clomid side effects

I just started my 3rd cycle of clomid and was wondering what kind of side effects you ladies have had.  

For me, I've noticed on the days I take the pills when I'm trying to fall asleep I have severe vertigo and thank goodness it is only for the 5 days I'm taking the pills.  My first cycle on clomid besides the vertigo I didn't have any side effects.  My 2nd cycle for 2 days straight during my ovulation time I had migraines.  I never get headaches and I never take anything for them when I get them but I had to in order to sleep in function.

Re: clomid side effects

  •   I am on my 5th cycle of Clomid.  I usually get hot flashes while I am taking the pills, as well as a few weeks after.  I also sometimes have vision problems (I see weird objects and such).  I havn't experienced much dryness before taking Clomid, but this cycle it seems I am pretty dry down there.

  • I've done 4 cycles of clomid. The side effects seem to be getting worse the longer I take it! I get really dizzy while taking the pills (days 3-7). I, too, have gotten migraines, but that's nothing new. This month was the worst - bad bloating, abdominal pain, extreme moodiness. They say it might be cysts, which is common for clomid users. Ugh. Other former Clomid users I've spoken with said it cause them weight gain and severe depression. Not sure I want to take these pills any longer. Hope you have much better luck. :-)
  • I have dizziness at night when I take Clomid as well.

  • I have had hot flashes, insomnia, and some dizziness at night, after taking it.  On this cycle, I have upped my water intake and that seems to help with the dizziness and hot flashes.  No such luck with the insomnia yet!

  • The main issue is irritation of my eyes, but I've also had minor headaches and dizziness.
  • I'm on my 4th cycle of Clomid. My biggest side effect is major headaches! I try not to take anything for them, but sometimes it is just too much pain. I have some dizziness, but it is pretty rare. Feel better! Fingers crossed that it's worth the side effects!!

  • I'm about to start my fourth cycle of clomid in a few days. I get hot flashes until my period starts, dizziness while I'm on the clomid, and headaches. It's worth all the side effects though if it works! YKWIM? Good Luck!

  • My first cycle, I had "Rage" flashes... haha.  I would go from a little irritated to seeing red fast.  This cycle, luckily, I didn't have the rage, but I had hot flashes.  They seem to have gone away (FX!).  GL!

  • I took Clomid prescribed by my OB not RE for 6 LONG months. I had major night sweats and dizziness. Also my CM completely dried up. My periods seemed to be heavier as well with a lot of clots.
  • The first time I took it on 100mg of Clomid, I only had hot flashes twice a day while taking the meds.  But the 2nd time seemed to be even worse even though I was on 50mg.  I got hot flashes every 2 hours during the night.  By the 5th night, I was in tears b/c I was so hot I couldn't sleep, but we're having a cold snap so uncovering made me shiver.  I also had headaches that nothing touched.   The emotional roller coaster felt wilder too.
