I took clomid to conceive my son. I have an ovulation problem. My Reproductive Endocronologist told me to take one pill for the first 2 months and he would increase it each month until I had good follicles. I got pg the second month. Most pregnancies occur between the 2nd and 4th month, after that if it hasn't happened the doctor may try something stronger. I didn't have any side effects from it. Just a beautiful baby boy. Good luck
BTW: a wonderful website for info: tryingtoconceive.com

"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."
Talk to your doctor, she'll know more than anyone on here.
