Question

Anyone on Clomid/Clomiphene? What has been your experience?

Hi, my cycles have been irregular this year and since we are ttc, I went to see my doc. I have now been put on clomiphene tablets day 3- day day 7 of my cycle, I am supposed to try this for a period of 6 months and will hopefully conceive. I was told 60-70% women conceive on these tablets. If you have used it, has it worked for you? How many cycles did it take? Also did it take long for the dose to be adjusted? I was told I would be tested for 21 day progesterone to check if my dose of clomiphene was right. Any information would be great! Thanks!

I can't help too much with when dosing is adjusted, I'm a self-medicater so I go with the flow. Anyways, in 2013 I did 5 rounds of clomid. 2 @100mg, 1@ 100/150mg, and 2 @150mg. I was successful on round 5 (with added estrogen for thin lining and no fertile cm). DD was born in 2014 and I started ttc a cpl months later, with clomid, again. I only did 2 rounds of it, no success and horrible s/e, so I quit taking it. Def make sure u don't start using opk's until 3 days after ur last pill, it can give false positives. It also interferes with dual hormone opk's, so u may not get a peak (I do, but some dont). It raises pre and post-O temps, if ur temping, and can dry up ur cm so make sure to keep preseed on hand. Cramping around O time can get pretty intense, but we all react differently.
Some like it and some don't. I used to love it but since having DD, I don't handle it the same, and turn into a bitchy sobbing mess of a woman.
Good luck! =))

Hi, thanks Dakotagurl for the insight. I have started my period so will be starting clomid soon. Really hope I don't have any horrible side effects. Fingers crossed!
