My insurance covered and i only paid $10 so I'm not 100% sure of the $50 figure! Clomid worked for me! It took six cycles, but it worked. I suffered from mood swings, drying up of CM, and headaches the last cycle when I was upped to 150mg. I also dealt with hot flashes each cycle as well. I hated the hot flashes because they would always come at the most inconvenient times (like in the middle of a business meeting) and the mood swings made me irritable and quick to get upset. I had these side effects from about day four of taking the pills up until about two weeks after I took my last pill. The side effects were manageable. I didn't like them, but I knew I was ovulating on Clomid and didn't ovulate without it so just that made it worth it for me. Oh, and I used preseed my last two cycles to help deal with the lack of Cm. I found it a very emotional journey. Going on fertility drugs added this pressure i felt of "conceive or else" and after a while I wondered if it wasn't becomming more about not being infertile than getting pregnant if that makes any sense. My OBGYN told me that he would have me go through eight cycles of Clomid. If we did not conceive after eight cycles then he would disgnose me as infertile and would refer me to a fertility specialist to discuss the next steps. That scared the heck out of me! My husband and I decided that we would go through the eight cycles, and after that we would think about if we were ready to take the next step. Cycle six was the charm!! My OBGYN had me using ovulation test strips because I didn't like charting. Every month that we weren't successful he would sit and go over what days i took the pills, what day (or days) i got positive ovulation tests, how many days after my first positive ovulation test af reared her ugly head, and what days hubby and I baby dabced. Then he would do an internal exam to check for cysts developing on my ovaries. As long as no cysts were developing (they never were) he would give me another pre ion. I highly recommend ovulation test strips personally. They worked well for me, and I found that I over obsessed about the charting. Good luck!!! I think it was totally worth it and why I'm expecting baby #1 right now!!!!!!!"

Tina replied: "I would go to the doctor - there is not guarantee that Clomid is even the right medication / treatment for you . . . so I would not get caught up in that part of it without first figuring out what is going on. On average Clomid is about $5 per pill and in a cycle, women can use anywhere from 5 - 20 pills. I have heard that Walmart fills the pre ions from anywhere from $4 to $30 Good luck and baby dust!"
