Clomid Side Effect (dry Cervical Mucus) Posted: 03-23-06 03:16am
Hi
i have been ttc for almost 1 year 6 months
now but without any luck. Recently I got
checked myself in a a reproductive clinic
where I took couple of tests, all test
results came up to be normal for both me
and my husband except my cervical mucus
seemed to be not of good quality.
Now I have a concern that I was given
clomid(serophene) 100mg per day for 5 days
starting from day 5 last month. This
month in my ovulation phase I did a
postcoital test and doctor said my
cervical mucus quality is bad. I am
worried now coz I realize that my mucus
became kind of dry from last month after I
took the clomid. Is this side effect of
clomid permanent? Or my cervical mucus
will become normal after some time...Since
I am no more taking the medicine after 1
round.
I am very worried and also dissapointed by
the doctor, since I should not have been
given serophene at the first place since
my ovulation is normal.
Thanks
roy

Clomid Side Effect (dry Cervical Mucus) Posted: 06-13-06 21:52pm
Hello,
i haven't heard of this side effect, but
just make sure to advise your Dr. Two
months ago I went to see a fertility dr
and he put me on chlomid. On day 2 of
taking chlomid I was in extreme pain. I
contacted my dr and he said that it was
probably just constipation and to eat more
fiber. The next night I ended up at the
emergency room where they were not able to
find anything wrong with me. I called
the Dr. Back and he said if I am in pain
just to take tylenol and if the pain gets
worst to go to the er again. The next day
I was in the er again. They did give me
another ultrasound and said everything was
fine, and the blood work did not show any
problems. I was supposed to see my dr the
next day, but I cancelled the appt since
he didn't want to see me when I was in
pain, and loss 4 nights of sleep. I made
an appt with my gyno and she found a large
cycst. The chlomid caused the cycst and
now I am suffering from it and will have
to put ttc on hold. The fertility dr I
was seening was voted one of the top 5 dr
in my city and what a joke. I will never
recommend him to anyone. Please make sure
to educate yourself with all medications
that are prescribed and their side
effects.

I've just found out that I have pcos and
one of the "treatments" for helping with
ttc is clomid (as you two well know). So
i've been researching it, i've spoken to
many women who have or are ttc on clomid
and not one of them has mentioned either
of these problems.
I'm not here to claim otherwise. I just
wanted to let any of the women who read
this to know that if these problems did
occur with clomid, they are in the
minority.

Yes bad quality or no cm is def. A side
affect of clomid. It is not a permanent
one though. You can try to decrease your
clomid dose to 50 and drink lots of water
to get your mucus to be more watery.....Or
ask your Dr. About what can be done
medically to increase cm.

I Read That Dryness of Cm Is a Side Effect Posted: 02-13-07 16:35pm
I have been through one cycle of clomid on
50mg tablet but I never experienced poor
quality or dry cm because I started taking
fish body oil capsules beforehand. I read
that taking essential fatty acids help
with ttc through producing more sperm
friendly cervical mucus but if a person
chooses to, you could also take flax seed
oil, it will do the same thing without the
fishy taste of the capsules i'm taking.
