How Soon Does Clomid Work? 1st Month Trying

Hi Everyone : )

I took my first round of Clomophene Citrate (Clomid)  days 3 to 7 of my cycle, March 14th being the first day of my cycle. I made sure to have sex the days my doctor recommended. I also took Robitussin during my fertile days to make sure my cervical mucus was not hostile. Seems like it helped. I should be expecting my cycle to start next weekend, April 9th or 10th....

Of coarse I am a little bit anxious to hopefully not start. But I just thought I would ask and see how many woman this drug has worked for and how long did it take? I have no symptoms of pregnancy as of yet, which I would assume it would be too soon anyway, right?

Please help keep my hopes up with your own personal experiences :D! Thank you in advance!!

Thank you for your response =)

If you dont mind me asking, how come you only took 3 rounds of clomid and not 6? My doctor told me that I can take it for 6 rounds. What exactly is IUI? Is that insemination?

I am sorry about your side effects. I had major headaches and I was very moody! I hope this month is better for us all!

Lots of baby dust to you and I will def keep everyone posted!!

Hi i took 3 rounds of Clomid, Unfortunatly it didn't work for me, i'm now on IUI.

Clomid basically helps you to produce more follicals. (stimulates your overies). I had EVERY side effect going with it. Hurrible stuff!!.
Terrible mood swings, use to argue with anyone and everyone, poor DF didn't know where to put himself!. lol.Along with Hot flashes, Dizzyness, Tired, Bloated, vomiting and aching all over. Hopefully you wont get it that bad, think i was just unlucky!.

Good luck and keep us posted
