I've been taking Clomid for a few months now. The most notable side effects for me have been headaches and a mild mood shift. My favorite is that it increase the chances of twins by quite a bit. Here's the official information from RXlist.com though http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/clomiph_ad.htm

Do not take this drug if there is any possibility\nthat you are, or may become, pregnant. Just one\ndose can cause severe birth defects. Thalidomide was first marketed in Europe in the late 1950's. It was used as a sleeping pill and to treat morning sickness during pregnancy. At that time no one knew thalidomide caused birth defects.\n\nTragically, when thalidomide was used by pregnant women, it resulted in the birth of thousands of deformed babies. In 1961 scientists discovered that the medication stunted the growth of fetal arms and legs. In fact, taking only one dose of thalidomide early in pregnancy can severely affect the growth of fetal limbs (arms, legs, hands, feet). It also puts the fetus at risk of other injuries, including eye and ear defects and severe internal defects of the heart, genitals, kidneys, digestive tract (including lips and mouth), and nervous system. \n\nIf you cannot avoid the chance of pregnancy, you should not take thalidomide. In fact, the FDA requires any woman of child bearing age to take 2 forms of highly effective birth control- even if you think you are infertile you must take birth control.  If you are taking this drug then you have seen the package which has a picture of a baby born with birth defects as a result of this medication, as well as warnings posted all over the package to avoid pregnancy.\n\nPlease if you are taking this medication do everything possible to avoid pregnancy- it simple is not fair to make such a devastating decision for an unborn child.\nHope this helped.

Clomid may help.  But of equal importance is your anxiety level.  Here's a strange: I'm a medical professional, and in my forty years of practice, I've met dozens of couples who had a hard time getting her pregnant.  These couples had no physical problem that could be detected.   But in a good number of these cases, when she stopped being so concerned with her lack of "success" - blamed if she didn't get pregnant!  So hon - hard as it is, you need to just relax and accept life as it's presented to you.  Quit fretting and worrying and don't rush from doctor to doctor, and for Pete's sake don't try ANY "alternative" therapy.  Go with the flow.  \nOne last thing: three of the women I refer to actually tried to get pregnant with donor sperm: they failed.  Not because there was anything wrong with them or the donor product - but because they were so very anxious.   Many couples do succeed in having a child through an anonymous donor program.  But attitude can make it so very much harder.  Anyway - good luck to you and hubby.

I have all the conditions you have.  I have been married/together with my husband and had 11 years of unprotected sex, and never did get pregnant.  \n\nThey told me that Metformin (Glucophage) could help reverse some of the damage that we 'insulin resistant' PCOS patients are.  I have started having periods again, although still highly irregular, but at least now I am having them now and again.  \n\nI'm nearly 41 and started having intermittent periods at abo0ut 38.  /shrug\n\nThey told me Clomid would also need to be taken by me, if I had ever wished to conceive.  I decided against having children with the 'health issues' I already had, and then a heart attack at 36 -- so, that ended my choice for a child, and while I am sad about it, I know for sure that I made the right choice for me.  \n\nI wish you the best, and if you wish to have a baby, please do this earlier than later as the older you get the harder it becomes.  Before 30 for sure!  Good Luck and I wish you the best :)

i had a cousin with PCOS and she has a beautiful 1 year old. They say that the biggest issue with PCOS is realizing that it is what causes your infertility. once you know what the problem is, you can find the right help to get pregnant.  you are probably more likely to miscarry more often, until you get pregnant (my cousin went through years of miscarriages before she had a successful pregnancy) and you will probably be high risk the whole time.

Depends, they say it takes 1/2 the time you were on it to become fertile again. I was on it for 5 yrs. and I got pregnant @ a year after I'd stopped getting the shot.

I do know that PCOS may make difficult for you to conceive, but it doesn't mean that you can't ever have children.\n\nThe disorder runs in my family, and I was told by my doctor that the best bet would be to stay on birth control pills until the time comes when I am ready to try to get pregnant. The hormones in the pills are supposed to slow the progress/development of the symptoms.\n\nYour doctor can do a symptom checklist to see if you fit the requirements for PCOS. If you do, or even if you don't, it might be a good idea to talk with your doctor about birth control hormone therapy.

I'd be very careful.  Meaning, I wouldn't rely 100% on the pill for BC.  I'd use some sort of back up just to be sure.  You could probably check one of the drugstore websites to see if it does or not.  \n\nAre you having any luck w/ the phentermine??  Is it helping you?  Just wondering if it worked or not.

As long as you take you medication at the same time everyday you will be ok but just remember birth control is only 99.9% accurate, which means there is still that slight chance of getting pregnant. I've been on the pill for almost a month now an ive had sexual intercourse and ive been fine.

DO NOT ORDER CLOMID on line.  I have pcos as well, and I have done alot of studying on the subject, birthcontrol is very effective in controling pcos, exercise, and following a diabetic diet can be very helpful.  I would assume you are wanting to have children, {clomid} however; many women have had very successful pregnancies and had pcos the whole time.  with pcos generally you tend to have simple cyst on your ovaries which over time can cause them to harden if you aren't having regular period, the birth control helps your ovaries regulate your system to help prevent this, also with pcos you tend to be insulin resistant which means your at a greater risk of developing not just diabeties but gestational diabeties when your pregnant. if your over weight you need to consider, trying to loss a few pounds, and ask your doctor about taking gloucaphage while trying to get pregnant it has a great success rate in helping women get preg with pcos.  Its a diabetic medicine, that help stimulate your progesterone levels, and can help maintain your Quant levels durning preg. I not only have PCOS but, I am a nurse as well please talk to your physician before taking anything like clomid off the internet.  I know it seems like you have been diagnosised with this and there is that fear of not having children, I have the same fears, but don't loose hope explore all your options and absorb all the information you can find on pcos. I think you'll find thousands of women have pcos and are now great moms.

I just found out that Canadian scientists have found that a few women ovulate twice a month and others have the biological potential to do so. Hope this helps.
