This is my first month of taking Clomid. My doctor started me out taking 25mg days 5-9. I asked my doctor what to expect and what kind of risks or side effects there may be but I cant get a direct answer out of him. Can anyone tell me anything about this? Or maybe direct me to a website?

I was on it this month for the first time (50mg) my side effects included: Irrability,stress,hot flashes, nervousness and shortness of breath. I would recommend also using an ovulation kit like Clear Plan to determine when you are at low,high and peak fertility. This way you have intercourse on the right days....but to be on the safe side, have it every other day...not everyday as the sperm count may not be as great. Hope this helps!

Major hormone problems! I was so grouchy, had mood swings, hot flashes, cold sweats, and tender breasts.
I got pregnant the first cycle on femara, which is just like clomid.
So Good luck! and lots of baby dust
