Questions about Clomid

Hey ladies I will be starting Clomid next cycle; 100mg days 3-7 and I was wondering if any of you had some advice for me on when the best time of the day is to take it as well as any of the fun/not so fun side-effects that I should expect.... I am very happy to start the clomid I finally got the green light to start the Clomid today after having my 2nd HSG showed that my tubes are open (my recanalization in December was a success)


Any ways any tips, info, advice etc would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

  • Cycles 1-23 all BFN's
  • Cycle 24 started fertility work up; BFN
  • 8/12/08 HSG ordered told to lose weight discuss clomid/iui in 3-6 months.
  • Cycle 25 BFN
  • Cycle 26 BFN - HSG showed right tube completley blocked, left tube has adhesions on it. Will have tubes recanalized.

  • Cycle 27- met new OB-GYN 11/12- will have tubal canalization next cycle then try naturally for 3 cycles before moving on to fertility drugs if needed. BFN


  • Cycle 28 Recanalization cleared both tubes-BFN


  • Cycle 29-BFN


  • Cycle 30-OBGYN appt 2/25- found out I am not ovulating, will have a follow up HSG to make sure tubes are still open if they are move on to Clomid/IUI, if not going on hold to save up $$$$ for IVF-BFN


  • Cycle 31- HSG showed that my tubes are open-I will start 100mg Clomid next cycle!

Thanks for the info! I have heard about the mood swings and already forewarned my dh and coworkers...the advice about taking the meds at night is a very good tip!

Thanks again!

Thank you for the information!! So would it hurt if I took the Clomid at night but if I got the bad hotflashes to take it the next day in the morning?


I am so sorry to hear that you recently m/c'd I know that nothing anyone can say will make you feel any better but I am seding you lots of healing vibes!!! I hope you get a good sticky BFP soon!
