I started my clomephine today. Has anyone taken this before? When I was in mexico for both of my IVFs I didn't have to take this. Have you had any side effects

I took 50mg of Clomid for three cycles and got pg with our DD. I had some bad emotional side effects from it, but I can't really remember anything physical. If you have any history of depression or anxiety make sure you tell Dh to watch out for you. My Dh told me that if I didn't get pg on the last round, PTL I did, I would have to quit because I was kind of starting to go a bit insane. Once I was pg and stopped taking it I was fine. I even had a wonderful depression-less pregnancy and postpartum...so I was being protected by the Lord for sure!!

I pray all goes well and you get your little one!!

I did clomid started at 50 and worked up to 200mg....biggest problems were vaginal dryness and horrible hot flashes...but worth anything since we got junior from it! Good luck!! :D

It's been years since I was on Clomid. It caused lots of emotional ups and downs, but that was probably coupled with the emotional ups and downs of TTC. I used to call it my CloMAD. ;)

Thank you for your replies, but Clomid and Clomiphine are two different drugs

Actually, Clomiphene is the chemical name for Clomid. There are so many names and prefixes and abbreviations for everything involved in TTC, it's a wonder women don't lose their minds just trying to keep it all straight. UGH! LOL!

I had a low dose of Clomid and boy did I have the worst hot flashes. [flame]
