i've started taking clomid as i wasn't ovulating, although my periods were regular. my dr started me on 1 tab (50mg) then blood test, not fertile enough...then the next month 2 tabs (100mg), my fertily went up but still not quite enough. then last month my dr told me to take 3 tabs (150mg). so i'm hoping it works this time round. its frustrating but what can you do, you just have to wait and not stress. i haven't really had any side effects.

Clomid (Clomiphene citrate) is a prescription medication that is used as an infertility treatment for women.

Brand-name Clomid is manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis. Several manufacturers produce a generic version of the drug.

Clomid can help women who do not normally ovulate become pregnant. In clinical studies, 30 percent of women with ovulation problems became pregnant after taking the drug. Of these pregnancies, 7.89 percent were multiple births - mostly twins.

* The medication comes in tablet form. It should be taken by mouth once a day for five days during the menstrual cycle.

* You can take Clomid with or without food. If the medication bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.

* Your dosage should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level in your blood.

* For Clomid to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. The medication will not work if you stop taking it.

Clomid should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture or heat, in an airtight container. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.

If you do not take your Clomid as scheduled, call your healthcare provider right away. Your healthcare provider will decide if you should continue with the rest of your scheduled doses or if you should start over again with your next cycle.

Both brand-name and generic versions of this drug are licensed for sale.
