Expect mild side effects in most cases. These commonly include hot flashes, mood swings, and headaches. You may also experience bloating and breast tenderness.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a more serious, though rare, possibility. OHSS involves swollen ovaries causing abdominal pain and potentially nausea and vomiting. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain.
Multiple pregnancies are another risk. Clomid increases the chances of releasing multiple eggs, leading to twins, triplets, or more. Your doctor will monitor you closely.
Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision, are uncommon but should be reported to your physician immediately. This is because they may indicate a rare but serious side effect.
Weight changes, both gain and loss, have been reported. These are usually temporary. Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Finally, remember that each woman’s experience is unique. Discuss any concerns or unusual symptoms with your doctor promptly for personalized advice and management.
