The birth of a child is often the most important miles stone in a person's life, especially a woman's. For some women, getting pregnant is extremely difficult and after consulting with fertility specialists they end up on a regimen of medications designed to regulate and hopefully correct irregularities in the ovulation cycles. With this goal in mind, women are doing any thing and everything possible to improve their chances of conception and giving birth to a healthy child.

Because Clomid, or Clomiphene citrate, increases the probability of conception, many women take the drug despite the warnings that it can lead to loss of hair. Clomid has some side effects other than hair loss that women should be aware of before they start taking Clomid, to determine if they wish to take this drug or not. One of these side effects is that it greatly increases the probability of multiple births, with many women who take Clomid bearing twins, triplets, quadruplets, and even quintuplets. Of course, if a woman wants to have more than one child, this is a good thing.

There have been some studies that show there are other side effects than just having more than one child. These symptoms include stomach discomfort, bloating, eating more, skin irritation, feeling depressed, feeling dizzy, and feeling tired. In addition, Clomid can cause a person to loose their hair. This has been shown to be true after some rumors.

If after considering all of the potential side effects of Clomid or Clomiphene citrate you are still interested in pursuing it as an option for increasing your chances for conception, it is time to discuss the mater with your physician. Discuss your options and ask about alternative medications or methods that may also offer increased potential for pregnancy with potentially fewer side effects. Remember, your goal is to conceive and give birth to the health child or children of your dreams.
