    It's more likely to cause bloat than actual weight gain...I suspect water weight.

    did you take it? how long did it take to come off after discontinuing it? did it come off without dieting or did your weight go back to what it was before without trying?

    excessive weight gain on clomid is a sign of hyperstimulation and you should go back to your doctor

    You should NOT, I repeat NOT exercise vigorously on Clomid near ovulation. DO NOT DO IT. Overstimulation can cause ovarian torsion, which is an acute medical emergency.

    Unfortunately, exercise in the 2 weeks following ovulation is associated with lower success rates.

    It mostly causes water weight, but it can make you hungrier. You have to eat less.
