What is Clomid, and what should I know about it?

- In order for a woman to get pregnant, she needs to ovulate, or release an egg that can then be fertilized by sperm. And in order for pregnancy to happen, intercourse needs to be timed just right with ovulation. There are some medical conditions out there that affect a woman's ability to ovulate. For example, one of those is polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS. If you haven't been having irregular cycles, or you're not ovulating, and you know that because you've been testing, then you should talk with your doctor, and they'll be able to recommend a plan - something that will help to stimulate ovulation and hopefully increase your chances of conceiving.
One of the treatment methods used commonly for women who aren't ovulating is Clomid. It's a medication that stimulates your body to release an egg. To increase your chances of conceiving, you need to start having intercourse every other day, 5 days after your last dose of Clomid is taken, and continue with this for a week. And if you do this, then hopefully things will be timed just right. In conjunction with Clomid therapy, your doctor will probably recommend checking for a luteinizing hormone surge, or LH surge, and that's associated with ovulation. You can detect this by using ovulation kits. And as soon as you're seeing a positive, that gives you about a 1 to 2 day window. So if you weren't already going to have intercourse during this time, then you need to plan on it.
There are some potential side effects associated with Clomid use, and one is the risk of multiple gestation. For some people, that's not a risk, and that would be welcome, especially if they've been trying to have babies for a while. But you should know, when you take this, there's a slightly higher chance that you could end up with twins, or maybe even triplets. The chance of twins is about 7% to 8%, and that's higher than the normal population that isn't taking Clomid.
Other side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness, abdominal pain, bloating, mood swings. And many of these things are actually associated with pregnancy too, so it makes women feel extra hopeful, when they've been taking Clomid, that they're pregnant, but these symptoms, if they're associated with pregnancy won't happen until about 5 to 6 weeks gestation, or about 5 to 6 weeks from your last period. So you can expect to feel things if you've been taking Clomid. Hot flashes are also common. But if you experience anything that seems abnormal to you, call your doctor, and they'll decide if it's a side effect of the medication, or if further investigation is necessary.
Now as for how many doses you might take, a lot of women do successfully get pregnant and conceive when they take Clomid, but sometimes it's not effective. And sometimes it takes multiple rounds, even when it does work. So it may not work the first month, or even the second, or even the third. Your doctor may recommend trying for a few months to see if it helps, but after about 6 months, studies have shown that pregnancy rates actually fall significantly for women who have been using Clomid for that amount of time. And at that point, a doctor should look into other reasons for infertility. Maybe in addition to not ovulating, there's fallopian tube blockage. There's so many different factors that go into a woman and a man being able to conceive, so they might want to investigate other possibilities, other underlying conditions that need to be addressed. If you have any other questions for me in the future, feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at / intermountainmoms , and recommend us to your friends and family too.
I got pregnant on my first round of clomid! I wasn’t ovulating. But I’m 27 weeks now so happy🥰 thank you for the informative video.

Have you ever got period without medicne ????
Congrats!! Im on the first round of clomid, Just took my first dose today im excited wish me luck, ive been trying for my #3 baby with no luck for 2 years hope to be back with a bfp!!
@@kdzlgs5743 omg yes! Good luck, please update me I will love to know if it worked for you🥰
How did u use it
Beautifuly explained thank u so much
This was amazingly informative, thank you so much. I just started my first round of Clomid. We've been trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years now. So heres to hoping this works.
It works?
It's work?
@@disha_adnan4716 Nope but not because of Clomid. I had another condition that caused issues but its addressed now so we are going to start trying again in a few months. The one thing with Clomid though is that is makes you super emotional like I felt really emotionally raw for like a day or two. Just something to keep in mind if you take it. =] I will most likely give it another go once we start trying again =]
Hi. I'm really eager to know if it is okay that if I took my birth control pill can I still take clomid in day3-5 of my cycle? Or should I finish this cycle and start using clomid nexr month? Thanks a lot.

When is the best time to take clomifene, cause am having an irregular menstrual and I don't know my ovulation days, please can I take clomifene to get pregnant. I have been trying to get pregnant but it not coming,
with second session of clomid is it ok to take the clomid even with small amount of menstual? not the full flow of menstrual more like brownish red menstual
My question is people who have pcos how are we supposed to know if the lh surge is not triggered by pcos? Also I am on provera for 10 days and got a positive opks on days 24-25 is it bad that I ovulated this late in my cycle?
could you pleaseee do a video on hernia repair and pregnancy what is the risk complications thank you
BusyMommyLife BySadie yes I will like to know too
Can you take clomid for longer than 6 months? I’ve been on it for 8 months now. I do ovulate on clomid.
I have a question I know you are not my doctor, but maybe you can give me some peace of mind. Last year I went to my ob-gyn to find out if my periods are okay, just to make sure its fine. I did blood work everything they ordered. I was worried if I had PCOS the good part is I don't. I was diagnosed with having some problems with my thyroid and high prolactin. So my ob-gyn sends me to see an endocrinologist. They gave me Levothyroxine and Cabergoline for my high prolactin, however, I am still not ovulating and periods are the same only been on the meds for 3 months my endocrinologist said that it will take time for hormones and she wants me to take it for 1 to 2 years the Cabergoline. My doctors from ob-gyn are sending me lab work for ovulation. I am worried because I hope there is a chance for me to still try to ovulate on my own I am 32 not married and still would like children someday I hope I don't need Clomid not sure if I have to take it forever or until my body can do it on its own. Worried because most insurance does not cover Clomid and want to do things the natural way. I don't have PCOS only thyroid and high prolactin is my problem. I am trying very hard not to stress, but I am worried for the results.

My wife had two miscarriages (12 week and 3 weeks) and later, going through many unsuccessful rounds of clomid, she underwent cleaning of uterus (HSG, I think) and same month she got pregnant. Maybe after your miscarriage your uterus is not clean and therefore pregnancy is not possible. Thanks to Allah, we have a baby now.
What do u mean by cleaning of uterus? HSG is not meant for that
@@asmanawaz7731 gonal injections on 6, 7, 8 cycle days for egg growth and choriomon injection on 12th day for egg release was also administered with femara 1 tablet starting from second day of cycle to 6th day (5 tablets total)
Yes exactly, same happened to me also!
@@asmanawaz7731 in HSG they check condition of uterus and blockage if any by inserting tube into vagina with some fluids thus also cleaning it in the process
Im on my first cycle of clomiphene.
I hope it will be successful 🙏
My ellai Hope it worked for you
Second cycle but still failed😢

I was diagnosed with PCOS and my friend is trying to tell me that hormones being unbalanced for a long time suddenly taking balancing meds would send me into early menopause. Is that true?
That's not true at all. You should talk to your doctor. Menopause is the complete cessation of any eggs being released due to the drastic decline in a women's reproductive hormones. Taking meds to balance your hormones should put your hormones at a level that promotes fertilization.
After having Clomid my egg size is 1.1 on 10th day
