Clomid (clomiphene) "My fiancé and I have been trying to conceive for four years. We are both 26 years old. Last year I was rushed into emergency surgery because I had cancerous cysts on my right ovary and cysts that had burst. After the procedure was done, my doctor told me that my left ovary didn't work. It wasn't producing anything. So, he told me that the cancerous cysts were probably the cause of why we hadn't gotten pregnant yet, and if in a year we still weren't pregnant to come back in. Well, one year went by and nothing. So, he prescribed me Clomid and told me to take it day 1 of my period for 5 days. I am currently on day 4/5 and have had no serious side effects besides a minor headache that goes away with Tylenol. I am so excited to see if this works!"

Clomid (clomiphene) "This is my second time trying this medication. Earlier this year, I was taking 50 mg once a day on days 5-9 and had sex days 9-14. No luck! So we're trying to give this another try, dosage has been increased to 100 mg a day on days 5-9 and sex on days 9-14. Really hope this works. I have PCOS, and my tubes were checked with dye to make sure they weren't blocked. My insurance company won't pay for medicine."

Clomid (clomiphene) "Happy, happy, happy! Thanks to Clomid, I lost hope that I would ever be pregnant, even after taking 50 mg the first month and 150 mg the second month. Then, boom! In February, I missed my period. I did a pregnancy test after missing my period for 2 weeks, and I got a positive pregnancy test, which is very dark in color. Thanks to the Creator of Clomid, I feel like a real woman now."

Clomid (clomiphene) "I'm 27 years old. 6 years ago, my partner (29M) and I decided to try to conceive as we wanted to extend our family. I already have 1 child from a previous relationship. After 2 years of trying, we really struggled to get pregnant, so we went to the doctors. He referred us to our local fertility center, where I found out I have PCOS. We tried Clomid 50 mg for 3 months with no success, so we stopped. We'd been hoping that with us not putting too much pressure on ourselves, it would happen naturally, but we've had no joy. We recently decided to give it a shot again with Clomid. On the first month, I took 50 mg from day 2-6 of my cycle but had no joy. We're now on round two at 100 mg from day 2-6 of my cycle, and we're praying we get our positive lines this time. Reading everyone's lovely success stories really makes my heart warm. Fingers crossed we have our own happy ever after. Pregnancy dust to all."

Clomid (clomiphene) "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."

Clomid (clomiphene) "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 ❤️"

Clomid (clomiphene) "My husband and I have been TTC this time around for nearly two years. I just finished my second month of Clomid. I ovulated on the first and second months, but have not gotten pregnant. We are taking a month off from the medication because it has caused us to feel stressed. I'm reading a lot of success stories on here, so I'm hopeful that it will work for us. My doctor will only allow me to be on the medication for 3 cycles before she refers us to a specialist."

Clomid (clomiphene) "I'm on my second cycle on Clomid. I did ovulate my first cycle but didn't get pregnant. Now, second cycle and I'm on my CD10, going for ultrasound tomorrow and really hoping I get BFP this month. We have been TTC for 5 years, had 2 m/c 5 years ago, and trying ever since, was diagnosed with unexplained fertility. If I've ovulated on the first cycle on dosage 50 mg, does that mean that it's not necessary to go up with the dosage? I'm on 50 mg on my second cycle currently as well, staying positive, hope for the best and needs support. Thank you."

I have done blood work and know I'm ovulating, trying to stay hopeful. I have a son and a daughter already in their teens, but want to have a baby with my husband as I remarried."

"After 1 year of trying to conceive and unexplained infertility, I decided to visit an infertility clinic. The doctor did all checkups for me and my partner in 2 weeks, then put me on Clomid on days 5-9. I got a positive pregnancy test 2 weeks later. Can’t think of words for how thankful I am for the medical progress and technology today. Good luck, everyone."

"After over a year of trying to conceive but being unsuccessful due to PCOS, my OB-GYN prescribed Clomid to me. I had no side effects whatsoever. Even though she warned me it could make me mean, I wasn't. I didn't know if it was working for that fact alone. Did the deed many times during the ovulation period. Came up pregnant on my first dose. Everyone is different, but this was the push I needed to make a mini."

Clomid (clomiphene) "I've been trying to get pregnant again since 2019. We already have a 5-year-old, but I got the Skyla IUD after having my son. I had it for 3 years and got it taken out, but it caused my cycle to not come back normal. I was put on 500 mg of metformin once a day to see if it helped. It did a little bit and then stopped again, and then my new OB-GYN prescribed me metformin 1000 mg and Provera to start my cycle, and on day 3, start Clomid 50 mg. I’m praying it works for me. Please pray for me."

Clomid (clomiphene) "My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past two years. I don’t have regular cycles, my AMH confirmed PCOS with a level of 9.10. I’m currently taking metformin twice a day, aspirin 81 mg, and prenatal vitamins. I started 100 mg of Clomid on 11/09/2020 - 11/13/2020. I’m on CD 18 - 9 days after Clomid. We’re really hoping that we get a BFP this cycle! We’d love to give that surprise to our parents for Christmas! We have our first OB-GYN appointment with a highly recommended M.D. near the area on 12/04/20! This is around the time I should be expecting my next menses! I’m wishing us all luck in the end of the year and the beginning of the new! Baby dust to you all!"

Clomid (clomiphene) "2 rounds of Clomid with BFNegatives (Big Fat Negative pregnancy test). First one 50 mg without any side effects. Second round on 100 mg with horrible side effects. I had such a pain I could not walk on the day of ovulation. At that cycle, I had all symptoms of pregnancy, so be aware of it and do not have hope until the test. Now I will be on 150 mg (3rd round) and I hope it will work."

Clomid (clomiphene) "I have had PCOS for more than 2 years, looking for pregnancy. Last year I tried letrozole, and it didn't work. In December I took clomiphene but did not look for pregnancy because the dose was high and in the ultrasound we could see 6 follicles, which is a lot, and we only want a baby. I stopped in January because I would be traveling and not with my husband, and that month I got pregnant. I had a loss at 6 weeks, but I think the medicine helped. Hopefully, soon I can have my positive, and my baby will grow healthy inside me."

Clomid (clomiphene) "My partner and I have been TTC for 2 years. I have PCOS, I had HSG and no other problems other than the fact that I do not ovulate on my own. My other half has had a sperm analysis, and he is all good in that area, which was a relief to hear (one less thing to worry about!). I am now taking Clomid. I am on CD3 of my 4th cycle. Cycle 1 was 50 mg and worked perfectly, I produced a nice-sized follicle, and we timed intercourse, but no pregnancy. Cycle number 2 had no follicles, and my body did not respond, so my dosage was upped to 100 mg for cycle 3. Cycle 3 also failed, and my body again did not respond to the Clomid, so they have upped my dosage again, and I am now taking 150 mg Clomid on days 2-6 of my cycle. This journey is so draining, we are so, so ready to be parents! Praying this is our month, as we have been waiting for such a long time!"

Clomid (clomiphene) "I took Clomid first cycle in April at a dose of 50 mg and second cycle in May was Clomid 100 mg & Metformin 100 mg with very many side effects like hot flashes, diarrhea, etc., and in all, I didn't succeed. I would like to take the third cycle in 150 mg and Metformin 100 mg. Though I wanted to give up, but when I read my friends' success stories, I was inspired. Pray for us, friends, so we become moms too."

Clomid (clomiphene) "I have had irregular cycles since forever. Have been diagnosed with PCOS and Hashimoto. Been trying over a year and a half when my doctor gave me Clomid. I was on Metformin already. First round on Clomid 100 mg, I ovulated, we had sex at the right time, but no luck. Second round, also Metformin + 100 mg Clomid, and I got pregnant. Healthy, normal, beautiful pregnancy. My baby boy is now 3 years old. We are now trying for baby #2, and I am on my first cycle of Clomid 100 mg, currently on a 2WW. Praying it works again!"
