But a side effect is this- as you age you may aquire facial hair. be careful
Other Answers:
I havnt taken it yet, but my doctor told me that if i dont conceive within 6 months he wants to put me on it. I have a mild case of PCOS, I am on metformin right now to help me ovulate, and become more regular. He seemed to think that I would conceive soon. Maybe talk and see if that would help before going on fertility pills.
I am going to be a surrogate. My Intended Parents wanted me on that. Apparently you have to be on if you have problems with ovulation. She had used it. So, if you do not have ovulation problems and you get it, it will just help you have more eggs come out.

Yes, I took it & it worked the 1st month. It is used to extend your fertile days during the month. Note: If you are self-insured.... find out if this drug affects your coverage.... FYI. Good luck!
Indication: Clomid is often the first choice for treating infertility because it's effective and been used for more than 25 years. Clomiphene is given to women who are not ovulating normally. Clomid and Serophene, the brand names of clomiphene, are antiestrogen drugs. As a result, they cause the hypothalamus and pituitary gland located deep in the brain to release hormones that will stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs. GnRH is released from the hypothalamus and FSH and LH are released from the pituitary gland. These fertility drugs are often used in combination with assisted reproductive techniques or artificial insemination.
Use: The typical starting dosage of clomiphene is 50 milligrams per day for five days. You take the first pill on the third, fourth, or fifth day after you start your period. You can expect to start ovulating about seven days after you've taken the last dose of the drug. If you don't ovulate right away, the dose can be increased by 50 milligrams per day each month up to 150 mg. After you've begun to ovulate, most doctors suggest taking clomiphene for no longer than six months. If you haven't become pregnant by then, your doctor will probably prescribe a different medication.
Effectiveness: Approximately 60% to 80% of women who take clomiphene will ovulate, and about half will be able to get pregnant as a result of taking the drug. Most pregnancies occur within three cycles.
Side effects: The side effects of clomiphene are generally mild. They include hot flashes, blurred vision, nausea, bloating, and headache. Clomid can also cause changes in the cervical mucus, which may make it harder to tell when you're fertile and may inhibit the sperm from entering the uterus. Like many fertility drugs, Clomid can increase the chances of multiple births, although it's less likely to cause the problem than some injectable hormones.
No I never have, but I wonder if you would have more of a chance to have twins if you take it?
Well, Before I underwent my surgery for Endometriosis I was put on Clomid, but it didn't do any good because the endometrial tissue was covering my uterus and fallopian tubes, Now after the operation, the OB-GYN will give me Clomid and injections to help with the stimulation of the ovaries. Wish me luck....
