Answer 1

Fertility pill...

It does have side effects such as causes cysts on your ovaries. But that doesn't always happen.

I've taken it 5 times for 5 days each time. 1 tab/ 1 day for 5 days.

I have a cyst on my right ovary but I did get pregnant on the 5th cycle

Answer 2

I took two cycles of Clomid, and didn't have any effects, I have PCOS, I only stopped the Clomid because my husband and I decided that it wasn't the best time to have kids. I have heard from different people that it can make you VERY angry or moody. For me, the two times that I did take it, I never did ovulate, but it does take time for it to work. From what I understood by talking to my OB, Clomid is one of the first steps in fertility treatment. I was told that if the Clomid didn't work within a certain amount of time then they would go on to do other tests such as a sperm count on my husband and further fertility tests on me. Hope that was somewhat helpful. Here is a WebMD article on it as well http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-rep...

Answer 3

I can only speak for myself here...but I will NEVER take Clomid again!

See, I was trying to get pregnant, and would miscarry every pregnancy I conceived.

The doctors looked at me and saw fibroid tumors and PCOS and assumed that I had ovulation problems, and tried to convince me that my periods every 28 to 30 days was "breakthrough bleeding" and that I wasn't ovulating.

Looking back on it...gee...if I wasn't ovulating, how was I getting pregnant...you know?  UGH

Anyway, they put me on the lowest dose of clomid, and I became the ****** from heck!

My husband told me "I love you" and I hauled off and hit him!  The intense rage was something I had NEVER experienced before in my life!

So, think long and hard about it...but for me, I will NEVER take it again!
