I am TTC and I am wondering about CLOMID as my doctor said she may put me on it next month. I am just wondering what YOU feel about it? I have heard alot of negative but also positive thing's about it. Any side effect's? Did it work? Is it just to regulate your menses? Because I have never (in 3 year's atleast) had an abnormal menses,it comes right on schedule every month! Please help! Thanks!!

I never had to get to the whole "drug" point .....although we were close and considering it. go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler
This book will help you with all of your menstrual and conception questions. It’s for all women - not just women trying to conceive. It covers everything from temperature to mucus checking, etc.. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! It tells you how to figure out your cycle and what to expect. My husband and I tried for a year to conceive and nothing happened. The first month I used the book we conceived right away. Now I am due Feb 2. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

Clomiphene citrate (CC, Clomid, Serophene) is often the first fertility drug that couples come in contact with. It is (relatively) inexpensive as fertility drugs go, it is easily taken (orally rather than by injection) and it is the first line drug used for ovulation induction in patients with PCOS and other ovulatory disorders. It has been used for patients with luteal phase defect. It can also be used to assess ovarian reserve or, in other words, the likelihood that a woman's ovaries can still produce viable eggs. Clomid is not useful for women whose ovaries have reached the end of their working life.
How does it work?
Clomid is actually quite a potent and somewhat complicated medication. It is capable of reacting with all of the tissues in the body that have estrogen receptors.
These tissues include hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endometrium, vagina, and cervix. Clomid influences the way that the four hormones required for ovulation, GnRH, FSH, LH and estradiol, relate and interrelate. While we do not completely understand the mechanisms by which this drug works, in essence it appears that Clomid fools the body into believing that the estrogen level is low. This altered feedback information causes the hypothalamus (an area of the brain) to make and release more gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn causes the pituitary to make and release more FSH and LH. More follicle stimulating hormone and more luteinizing hormone should result in the release of one or more mature eggs - ovulation.

I work in a pharmacy and it's a pretty commonly prescribed medication. I have seen results w/ it. As with any medication, there are side effects and risks. Talk with your doctor and pharmacist about it, and make an informed decision. I have heard of no serious problems in our pharmacy personally w/ gals on Clomid. It's not even very expensive now, and a generic is available. Best of luck to you!

Clomid is a fertiltiy drug that is suppose to cause ovulation. My doctor placed me on clomid for 6 months while my husband and I were trying to get pregnant. I had a little nauseous at first but it sooned went away the longer I was on the drug. It didn't help me any, unfortunately, but that doesn't mean it won't help you. Good Luck!

I'd advise not to use it. Any form of medication can be dangerous and possibly leathal to your health. Abstain from all drugs and just let nature take its course. Prayer helps out a lot too.
