M.,
I took Clomid to concieve my son who is now 9 months old. I had concieved twins naturally in 2004 and after I delivered them, it was taking us long to concieve and the result was that because I was not ovulating. I took one round of Clomid at 50mg and still did not ovulate. On my second round, I was on 100mg and concieved my son.
Clomid is tricky, for some, it is a God send and you concieve quickly, some I have known had no luck. With your history, I truly believe that you would not have an problem and could probably concieve in a few short rounds.
Side effects? I have two common phrases I like to use.. "Hormonal Hell" and "Emotional Hysteria".. I hated to use Clomid. I got headaches, emotional, very very touchy and sensitive. Now, I know you can totally do it without the side effects, but some have severe side effects. Keep in mind, these side effects only lasted for me from the time I began the medication until 2 days after I had the last pill, so I only had these effects for 7 days.
After the Clomid and now after I have my baby boy.. I would totally do it again and more if I had too. Totally worth it.
