For Female Infertility "I’m 29 years old, and I was put on 100 mg Clomid for both the first and second cycles, and I had hot flushes, but still, I did not ovulate. I have now been given 150 mg, and I’m on day 3 of my cycle today. I’m very inspired by the positive posts from you all, and I’m hoping to be updating you about my successful pregnancy test in around two weeks from today (I’m really positive about this one)."

For Ovulation Induction "I want to review Clomid and Metformin because other people's reviews gave me hope, and I want to pay it back. About me: I am 32, UK-based, TTC for nearly 3 years, 1 miscarriage during that time, PCOS, and high AMH levels. I began taking 50g Clomid (with 1000g Metformin) in September 2021 to induce ovulation, and it worked for me the first time. I did not get pregnant that month, but blood tests confirmed that for the first time in a long time, I had ovulated. I took the same dose in October 2021, and I am currently 5 weeks pregnant!! For me, Clomid has been a true blessing. I took it on days 2-6 of my cycle (starting on the second day of my period) and always just before bed to try and avoid the worst of the side effects. I did get some hot flushes and vaginal dryness, and the second month I was exceptionally emotional/irritable, but TBH I think that was more about the stress of trying to conceive than the actual medication! Good luck to everyone on this journey xxx."

For Female Infertility "My husband and I have been trying to conceive number 2 for 9 months. I have PCOS and was not ovulating on my own. My husband's tests also showed a low sperm count. Our first pregnancy was planned and conceived the first week of trying. This time has been much harder and very trying. My specialist recommended either Clomid or straight to IVF. I have been taking Clomid for 3 months, first month 50 mg did nothing and second month took 100 mg and ovulated but did not conceive. I definitely know when I ovulated while taking Clomid, it was very obvious. Just finished round 3, 100 mg. Also had side effects on Clomid such as hot flushes, mood swings, and dizziness. Very emotional this time round. Fingers crossed."

For Female Infertility "I found out about 3 years ago I have bad PCOS and not ovulating/low progesterone levels. I was put on 50 mg Clomid, and it didn’t work. I found out my follicle sacs are too small, therefore only holding immature eggs. My dose was upped to 100 mg. I had bad hot flushes, but still didn’t work. I have now been given 150 mg and will be taking my first tablet on day 2 of my cycle tomorrow, 9.11.19. I had 3 miscarriages with a previous partner 6 years ago. I’m guessing down to immature eggs, so fingers crossed this works... good luck to all of you, darlings, and sending baby dust ❤️"

For Ovulation Induction "My husband and I are both 35 and have been trying to conceive naturally for 7 months. He has a low sperm count, I have irregular cycles or heavy ones. So my doctor put me on Clomid 50 mg for 5 days, took my first round on day 4 of my cycle, and finished the first round. We are now trying each and every day. Symptoms I've had are hot flushes, mood swings, fatigue, slight headaches, and now and then stomach cramps. I have lower back pain, started to get pimples, and started to get hunger pains in the morning. Later, after eating, I still feel hungry (don't know if that's normal). Today is the 8th day after my cycle, and my next period, according to my calendar, starts 22 days from now. I'm really hoping and praying that we conceive on the first round and miss my cycle. We really want our first baby, and I want to surprise him with a positive result. Any advice and tips on symptoms from the medicine and after taking it on the first go?"
