Has anyone ever taken the medicine called clomiphene?

Question

My doctor put me on it to help me get pregnant? Did it help you get pregnant? Thanks

Answer 1

I have taken 4 rounds of clomid and still not pregnant. Hopefully it works better for you.

Answer 2

Yes lots of people have gotten pregnant on Clomid.  Go to www.twoweekwait.com  on the discussion boards there is a group called Clomid Chicks.  One of the postings is of all the people who have been successful on it.  It was very inspiring.  I start my first round as soon as af arrives.  Good luck!

Answer 3

Clomiphene citrate, also known as Clomid. I've used it many times over the course of the past 4 years. The typical starting dose is 50mgs for 5 days early in your cycle, usually days 3-7 or 5-9. I've taken all the way up to 250mgs for 5 days and only ovulated about a quarter of the time. About 80percent of women will ovulate on Clomid, and about half of those who ovulate will get pregnant. It is a very good drug, it's been around for a long long time. It's also inexpensive, you can get it at walmart for 5 tablets for $9.  Be sure to take it right before bed to help with some of the side effects. The most common side effects are headache, mood swings, hot flashes, and drying of cervical mucus. Be sure to drink lots of water, don't take allergy meds including benadryl, drink green tea, and consider using robitussin-- http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/cm.html  to help with the cervical mucus problem.  Be sure to chart your temps so you can tell when and if you ovulated. Good luck!
