Clomid (clomiphene) side effects are mild or nonexistent for most people. The most common ones include hot flashes, headaches, bloating, mood swings, and breast tenderness.

The side effects of Clomid are typically reversible after stopping the medication. If any of the side effects listed above occur while taking Clomid, discontinue taking Clomid and seek medical treatment.

• Start on the lowest dose possible: More doesn’t necessarily mean better. Your doctor is likely to start you at the lowest dose, but if the first cycle fails, they may encourage you to try again at the same dose. You might think a higher dose would be better, but this isn’t necessarily true.
• Take the pill in the evening: If you’re getting headaches, taking Clomid before bed may help.
• Monitor your diet: Weight gain can occur while taking Clomid, but most of that weight gain should be temporary. Weight gain that comes from bloating and water retention will go away. However, the weight you gain from stress eating while taking Clomid will stay.
• Practice good self-care: Mood swings on Clomid are real. They aren’t “just in your head.” The best way to cope with this side effect is to take good care of yourself. Get enough sleep, eat well, and seek the support of friends and family.
• Dress in layers: If you’re experiencing hot flashes, dress in layers. This way, if you suddenly feel overheated, you can take something off and cool down a little quicker. Drinking something cold can also help you cool down.

Men must take for 3-6 months to see benefits.

CONCLUSIONS:

Low dose clomiphene citrate is effective in elevating serum testosterone levels and improving the testosterone/estradiol ratio in men with low testosterone. This therapy represents an alternative to testosterone therapy by stimulating the endogenous androgen production pathway. Male treatment doesn’t work like that. With men, Clomid is usually taken over a number of days for at least three months. It takes more time to see results, and you shouldn’t expect quick fertility improvement.
