Clomid can sometimes affect semen volume and quality. Some men report experiencing changes in ejaculate volume, potentially experiencing either an increase or a decrease. The consistency might also alter.
Changes in sperm morphology (shape) and motility (movement) are possible. These changes are often temporary and resolve after Clomid discontinuation. However, a semen analysis is crucial to monitor these changes.
Rarely, Clomid use is associated with a temporary decrease in libido (sex drive). This side effect is usually mild and self-limiting.
While Clomid aims to increase sperm count, it doesn’t guarantee a dramatic improvement in fertility for every individual. Other underlying fertility issues might need addressing simultaneously.
Open communication with your doctor is paramount. Discuss any changes you notice in your ejaculate. They can assess your situation and offer guidance.
Regular follow-up appointments, including semen analyses, allow for effective monitoring of treatment efficacy and any potential side effects. This allows for prompt adjustments to your treatment plan, if needed.
