First month on Clomid

Months passed, and yet to have news.

Hubby took back some pills from our family doctor, which I searched on the Internet named Clomiphene Citrate, 50mg per tablet. The pills stood in our room since last month.

I started this pill from CD5-CD9 every night before bed.

What is Clomid? What to expect?

Clomiphene is usually taken in pill form for one five-day cycle a month. It helps you produce more of the hormones that trigger ovulation (follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH)), prompting your ovaries to produce one or more mature eggs, depending on how often you normally ovulate.

After you finish a cycle of clomiphene, your hypothalamus (the part of your brain that regulates basic functions such as temperature) releases luteinizing hormone (LH), which tells your ovaries to release your mature egg or eggs into your fallopian tubes. If an egg meets up with a healthy sperm on its way to your uterus, you'll have a chance to conceive.

The possible side effects of Clomid:

Fertility drugs can cause a wide range of minor side effects, including mild swelling of the ovaries, stomach pain, breast tenderness, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, headaches, fatigue, irritability, depression, weight gain, and, in rarer cases, ovarian cysts.

You'll also have a 10 percent chance of conceiving twins with these fertility drugs. (Women sometimes conceive triplets or more, but much less frequently.) Though many couples consider this a blessing, multiple fetuses increase your risk of miscarriage and other complications.

Hopefully it helps!
