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?

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.

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?

Thanks Fiona! I didn't like the idea of taking Clomid at first but I am desperate to have a baby.

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!

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 :)

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
