[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. How many cycles did you take it?
2. What dosage?
3. Did you get pregnant? How many cycles did it take?
4. Side effects?
5. Twins or Singleton if you were successful?

I am on my first month of clomid 50mg. This is after getting pregnant easily twice and trying for over a year with no success. Turns out I was only ovulating about 50% of the time. The only side effect I had was pretty extreme angry feelings.

Please share your experiences.[/quote]

First child: I forget the dose (50?). I’d been off birth control 6 months and wasn’t ovulating. I wasn’t monitored and didn’t have side effects. Got pregnant with a singleton my first month of clomid.

Second child: tried with one doctor then switched care to my current ob. I’d tried to conceive over a year and was having regular periods (unlike with first child). The first doctor said it was probably pcos but I didn’t have any symptoms (regular periods, normal bloodwork, no cysts...) and got really defensive when I asked questions. I wasn’t comfortable trying metformin with her. My 2nd doctor had me try 2 more months of clomid and then recommended IVF. While I was waiting for IVF (as I’ve written here before) I got HSG done, got a promotion at work, and did acupuncture. I wasn’t taking clomid during these months. I naturally conceived while off drugs and waiting for first IVF appointment after about 15 months of actively (timed) trying and longer not using protection. I was 34 when the first was born and 38 with my second. [/quote]
