Please tell me all about Clomid
I had my CD 3 sonogram and bloodwork today. The sonogram confirmed PCOS. Dr. Braverman prescribed 100mg of Clomid to start tonight and he also prescribed Dexomethasone (a low dose steroid). I'm a little freaked out about having to take meds, as I'm very sensitive to medications. I'm scared about the side effects.
Can you share you experiences and tell if/how effective Clomid is/was? Also, any info on Dexomethasone would be helpful too.
Thanks!

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
I have PCOS, and therefore do not ovulate at all on my own.I was able to get max 3 fillies from Clomid/Metformin combo. But it did work. i do not rmemeber too many side effects from Clomid, the Metformin is what bothered me.

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
When I was on 100mgs of Clomid, I made sure I took it right before bed that way I didnt feel any of the emotional side effects (extremely moody) that I had when I was on 50mgs. Good luck!

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
Is it strange that my doc prescribed 100 mg to start, given that I do ovulate on my own each cycle (I have long cycles though)?

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
Good luck! I know that for me taking that step was scary. I ave known many people who have had god results with Clomid. Unfortunately, I never ovulated on it. I wish you speedy results!
Also, you might want to warn those around you about potential crying/mood swings! Knowing what could be contributing to them made my DH and myself deal with them a little better.
Good luck!!!!

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
I just finished my first round of 50mcg's of clomid and I felt no side effects at all. I took it around 3pm each day and it didnt bother me at all.
PS.. I normally do not react well to medication, the provera made me NUTS and I thought clomid would be worse, but it was fine!

I suffer terribly from IBS so almost every medicine kills my stomach but I had no side effects whatsoever to clomid. Good luck!!!!

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
I only got some hot flashes at night from the clomid. I took 100mg's. I was so nervous to take it as well, but it was not bad at all.
good luck!

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
I started out w/50mgs of clomid then a couple of cycles after I did 100mgs of clomid. I took it right before I went to bed and the only side effects I had were night sweats. Good luck!

Same here, but I'd get them throughout the day.

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
I took 50 mg and I had no side effects. At least no noticable ones... I'm always moody and get headaches.

Re: Please tell me all about Clomid
I started on 50mg. and no ovulation so was bumped up to 100mg. which did make me ovulate.
The only side effects I had were hot flashes, especially at night.
