Good luck Sunny with the clomid, are you starting on 50mg?
I have a gorgeous 4yr old girl after trying for 2yrs and the third month of clomiphene worked to have her. I was lucky hardly any side effects from the clomiphene. How long have you been trying? ------------- Mum to a gorgeous 5yr old girl and a beautiful baby boy. |

All the best. I did 3 cycles of clomid for unexplained infertility. I found it fine and had no side effects at all. The 2WW is probably the hardest part.
We have had no problems conceiving number 2 so that ever the problem was is now gone. Sometimes the body just needs a little help to get it right the first time. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Thanks for your best wishes ladies. I am commencing treatment on 50mg tablets, my DH and I have been trying for children since April 2006. What are some of the side effects you ladies have experienced?

Hi Sunny
I've had five clomid cycles (3 with IUI) and am gonna have a couple more. I started on 50 mg and went up to 100mg for the last two without any side effects. Well maybe a little more interested in DH IYKWIM  , and last time a little tender at ovulation, but nothing major.
Do you know that there's a clomid pill poppers thread? It's been very quiet in there lately, but if you go back to the earlier pages you'll find lots of info. good luck! |

Sunny im also soon going to start clomid i was gonna say what catie suggested about reading through old pages of clomid pill poppers topic, thats what i did i read every single post took me hours lol it was like reading a good diary story lol i must say though it has come to be a bit quiet in there lately as lots of girlys have got big fat positive pregnancys, maybe me and you will be the next two to get those results lol

I did four cycles of clomid before conceiving my gorgeous wee man...
Worst side effect for me was hot flushes... I would go from normal, to like I'd stepped into a sauna. Hehe, it was quite funny looking back now :) ------------- Know happiness is with us always, but never always with us. |

| hi there, Ihave had to unsuccessful cycles on clomid and IUI. We know have to try ICSI. Can you take more than one tablet a day? My specialist said that i hadnt responded that well, still only producing one follicle. Ihave a script for another 6 months of clomid, and will take until with do ICSI, wihtout the IUI this time. (self - prescribed) .... so two is ok? |

Hi there Matenga.... I take 150gms a day of Clomid which is 3 pills a day for days 2-6 of my cycle... that is the max although I have read of some people in the US taking up to 5 pills a day but it's not recommended.
Come and join us in the Clomid Pill Poppers thread if ya like... Good luck ------------- Formerly Wishin41 |
