I found taking chlomid at the same time every day while taking it. Reduced side effects for me. I take it in the afternoon I also then don't forget to take it. Xx

Hi, I was on it for 6 months - first 4 mths, then a month off, then 2 mths.

Tried it morning for the first few months but always felt very flat by the afternoon, so switched to taking it at night. This really helped, as you can sleep through the side effects...not that you will necessarily get any, it really differs from person to person. Mine were dull headaches, constipation (luverly!) oh and I turned into the monster from the bog!! Poof went my patience levels...my poor husband!

I am sure you will be absolutely fine on it and I wish you much success and a BFP xx

Thank you.

My Dr said I'm only allowed 3 cycles ever because of side effects but I've heard a few woman say they had more than 3. Can I ask if it worked for you please if that's not an intrusive question.

Sadly no. I am currently on meds for DE IVF with a transfer date of 29th May. Lots of ladies have great success with Clomid, I hope you will be one of them x

Thank you. My specialist wasn't terribly hopeful. He said it's not impossible but my best chance is egg donation. So we are trying Clomid for 3 cycles first.

I hope you have every success on May 29th. Do let me know. ❤️

Thanks so much, I will x

Hi, welcome 😊 I took my clomid at night just before bed. I didn't get any physical side effects but definite hormonal ones!

Good luck x

Thanks.

It's the hormonal ones I dread! Lol. Thankfully I have a very patient husband.
