Clomid® has been approved for use by the FDA and is considered a safe medication when used as prescribed. Minor Clomid® side effects may include:
In less than 1% of cases, patients develop a condition known as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This is a serious and potentially life threatening condition. You should see a healthcare provider right away if you notice any of the following symptoms:
Clomid® use also increases the chance of multiple pregnancies (twins or triplets). The FDA has also reported potential conditions associated with clomiphene citrate use, including certain types of cancer and congenital abnormalities.
This isn’t a complete list of potential side effects. Speak with your healthcare provider directly about any symptoms you’re experiencing.
SIDE EFFECTS OF Clomid®: Read all of this and more you may experience: See the end of this page for a full list of side effects./pWhat else does clomid do?Clomid® can side effects include:
There’s a small risk of developing headaches of 2% and above with just 100 mg. of clomiphene citrate, which is set to become the first non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). While some people may report lessening breast tissue thickness, for others it may lead to headaches.
Other symptoms of headache include:
Some women may experience fatigue or mood changes or increased breast tissue thickness or thinning of their breast skin.
Before starting clomid, call your healthcare provider or pharmacist to discuss these potential side effects.
Before taking clomiphene citrate, tell your healthcare provider if you have any of the following conditions:
Drinking alcohol can increase the chance of developing headaches. It may be beneficial for your healthcare provider to slowly reduce your intake of alcohol while you’re taking clomid.
Oily or broken clomid®ings can occur inside the breast. This is a rare condition (18%) and is how rare can be for clomid® to work. Do not drink large amounts of alcohol while taking clomid.
A breast cancer treatment in humans may include:
Your healthcare provider may start with a dose above the target to reduce risk. Some women can bump into the breasts of other men to see if their treatment will affect them.
For women who don’t want to take more than the recommended dose, talk to them about the options.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, take only that single dose. Do not take two doses at one time. Do not take more than one dose of CLOMID (or any NSAID) at a time.
If you side effects from clomid® are listed above, all of them may be gone without a second's' talk.
Clomid, or clomifene citrate serves a pivotal role in fertility treatments. By creating a pseudo-environment where the body perceives a shortfall of oestrogen, Clomid prompts a surge in the hormones necessary for egg production. This intricate interplay results in the stimulation of the ovaries to release eggs, vital for conception. There are a number of things that you can do to maximise the potential for Clomid use.
At its core, Clomid addresses the challenge of irregular or absent ovulation (anovulation). For those with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) - a condition that often disrupts the regular ovulatory cycle - Clomid often emerges as a ray of hope. By fostering a conducive hormonal environment, Clomid paves the way for more regular and predictable ovulation, enhancing the chances of conception.
Diet can be a game-changer when it comes to fertility. While Clomid works its magic at the hormonal level, certain foods can bolster its success:
Strategically chosen supplements can be the perfect allies to Clomid, addressing nutritional gaps and enhancing its effectiveness:
While Clomid is a potent tool in the fertility arsenal, lifestyle choices can either amplify or diminish its success:
In essence, Clomid, when complemented with the right diet, supplements, and lifestyle choices, can transform fertility challenges into conception successes. It's imperative, however, to liaise closely with a healthcare professional to tailor the right approach for individual needs.

Clomid is used to treat infertility in women. It helps to increase ovulation (a natural response to ovulation) and prevents the development of a fallopian tube (tube that connects the ovary and the uterus).
It is also used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women who do not ovulate regularly or have irregular periods.
Clomid stimulates the release of hormones (progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen), which can cause the ovaries to produce more mature egg follicles (eggs that have reached maturity).
This can help to prevent further development of the ovaries and increase the chances of fertilization and the implantation of an embryo (tube that connects the ovaries to the uterus).
Clomid is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients with irregular blood flow to the lungs, or who have a history of stroke.
You should not use Clomid if you have a heart condition. These conditions can lead to low blood pressure and complications, including heart attack and stroke.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have:
-under a close medical surveillance;
-a history of stroke or heart attack;
-an unexplained low white blood cell count;
-a history of hyper-sensitivity angina (chest pain);
-an unusual history of blood clots or hypertension; or
-a serious liver condition.
If you have unexplained high blood pressure, you should seek medical attention.
During treatment with Clomid, it is important to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle and to stop smoking, which can cause dizziness. Alcohol can increase the risk of experiencing side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
If you experience any of these symptoms, immediately stop taking Clomid and contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Like any medication, Clomid can cause some side effects. The most common side effects include:
Other possible side effects include:
It is important to tell your doctor if you experience:
-fever;
-an increase in the number of follicles (largest follicles)
-a decrease in the size of the egg (does not include an ovulation)
-a decrease in the size of the uterine cavity (structure of the uterus that stops the flow of blood to the uterus)
-the chance of a miscarriage;
-a bleeding in the stomach; or
-a loss of menstrual periods.
During treatment with Clomid, you should continue to use this medication for at least 5 days a week.
You should also continue to take it as prescribed. If you are unable to tolerate Clomid, you should discuss alternative treatments with your doctor.
It is not known whether Clomid can cause or worsen side effects of other medications. You should inform your doctor if you have any other medical conditions or are taking any other medications.
Clomid is available as a capsule. You should swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. You should not use clomid with food or milk. You should also not mix clomid with other medications or alcohol.
Clomid is usually taken for 10 days.
You should take this medication only when needed. The doctor may occasionally change your daily dose to take a dose that is higher than that recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Your doctor will order a blood test to monitor your hormone levels.
