    Pills weren't big-- I have a hard time with pills and I didn't have a real problem with them. They're much smaller than my prenatals.

    I took them for 2 cycles and then said "no more." I had horrible side effects from them. And they have a L

    They aren't big.  Easy to swallow.  I took them for 2 cycles.   I got a little emotional with them and broke out a little, but well worth it!!!

    I took 3 cycles of clomid with each cycle being upped 50 mg so by my 3rd cycle, I was taking 150 mg.  I didn't respond to the first two cycles but got pregnant on my 3rd cycle with an IUI.  I know everybody is different when it comes to sympt

    sorry I am butting in, I am trying to amass as much Clomid data as possible. I started it yesterday (I am 36, H is 35, we have passed all other tests with flying colors, this is cycle 24 for us though) The pill is the size of a tylenol, very easy to take.

    I was a crazy biotch on the chlomid... I took it like 4 or 5 cycles, but I did IUI with chlomid on 2 of those cycles and got pregnant on the second cycle of IUI and chlomid... The pills are not huge, but mine didn't have any kind of coating on them, which

    The pills are pretty small, so hopefully you'll be fine. 

    I took 5 cycles of clomid, and got pregnant with 3 (but lost 2 babes). I was about to seek alternative treatment going forward before I got pregnant this time because Clomid was reall

    I used Clomid and got pregnant on my second cycle. It had wicked side effects but was worth it in the end. My doctor only prescribes three cycles and if it hasn't worked by then, you try alternatives. Good luck!

    I had a horrible time on clomid. Hot flashes, mood swings, nausea, and it never did get me to ovulate. I've had much better luck with femara. No side effects and it worked for me. I'm on my second pregnancy now using femara and IUI lost the first at 11 we
