Also- are the Clomid mood swings really that bad? I am already quite up and down and wondering who to warn about them....
Thanks

I did not find the mood swings to be bad. I was really worried about it as I have horrible mood swings before my af. This month was my second cycle. Last month I was on 50mg and I really didnt feel any side effects. This month was 100mg. The worst was the hot flashes and I'm weepy. I took the clomid at night after I ate.

GL and much baby dust to you!!!!!

amethyst, not everyone gets mood swings, some lucky ones don't get symptoms at all. You may be one of them. Usually for a few days after taking the first tablet I get snappy and moody, very similar to PMT but sometimes I feel very very depressed. It doesn't last long though and if it gets me a baby its well worth it. x

totally agree. I didn't get any symptoms from clomid at all, other than a shortened AF flow. I was definitely feeling anxious, but I figured that it was all self-created stress and my hubby had been so sweet about it all, I told myself to just let go and take it easy.

Gooood luck... Irishbaby did you AF stop? on ur first pill mines gone lighter? x

Mine was the same all the way around. But I did get some mean hot flashes with my round of clomid. Lol

Kazza it just brings up a blank ff page for me

Irish I hope you won't need to start the 2nd cycle, why do you think it will be BFN this time?

With my other pregnacy I had sore boobs and felt prego.
This time I don't feel prego. But aunt flow should be coming June 18 so we shall see. If she does I figure it's not my time yet. Besides creating life is stressful but fun!!!

Is it normal to feel stressed and upset about taking Clomid? I was thrilled when the consultant said we could have it, as I thought we would be fobbed off again. Butsince then, I ahve felt really emotional about it all.

I had mixed feelings about clomid too... at first I was so glad to be getting my issue addressed but I had some low feelings about 'needing' medical help to get pregnant. Not sure if thats what you mean.

Everyone is different when it comes to the side effects. Most people don't seem to get really bad side effects.
I did get a bit depressed during the 2nd week of my cycle while on clomid. Took a while to realize the clomid was causing it as TTC can be pretty stressful anyway with ups and downs. I'm prone to depression anyway.
I only had one real mood swing.. a breakdown where I spent 45 minutes looking for the dog's bone and crying and fighting with DH about it really being important to find the bone for the dog before going to bed.

Hi girls, just had my IUI. Confirmed ovulation. Gynae said that it was a difficult procedure cos my cervix turned out to be S-shaped. That could be why I've been having trouble TTC - the road home could be too winding for those

In the 2WW now, I'm praying for the best news.

Good luck Anxiously.

Thank you ladies for your advice and info. Am also already prone to mood swings, which I suppose is why I am worrying. The consultant asked hubs to be patient with me, so hopefully he will be
lisaf- those low feelings you described have hit it on the head. Thanks.

morning caz. today still no AF for me i have been 2/3 days early since january now this cycle I am late just a day late but still. I tested and its i may just get a blood test today. I am kind of nervous b/c look at my chart its going higher instead of lower whats that about? my temps DROP BIG TIME when AF is here. im giving myself a week and see what happens i dont feel pg so i doubt it. i have nothing to say I am but with my daughter i didnt feel a thing either i hate this wait!

 

[Bradpittswife]

Hey ladies mind if I crash this post? I normally read the full thread to catch up but with 2076 pages I think I might have to give it a miss lol! My doc has just prescribed me with Clomid so waiting to start on cd2-6. I am currently on CD20 so could be a while yet as my cycles are long and irregular- last one was 50 days! However had HSG this month which many ladies say made their period come earlier so here's hoping! Anyone justs starting out? For those of you well into taking it how is it going?

 

[caz & bob]

snl it looks good hun i would get bloods done lv just to see fx it a nice x x x

Girls!

I found that I only had thirst, some flashes and a few headaches. But now that ov is meant to have happened I am an emotional wreck! Night before last I just had a complete break down about my body failing me, and yesterday I was bitch of the century. Not sure if its clomid, but my emotions seem to have been x100!

I am not hopeful about this cycle. With my melt down about not doing the deed....we didnt do the deed yesterday EITHER! We rowed terrible last night! I just want to write this cycle off! We dtd midnight on the eve of CD15....so will that cover me for CD16 with active do you think? I used preseed for the 5 days straight as although my cm was watery it wasnt in abundance.

So.....

*By my CP and CM my fertile time ended 2 days ago....
*By my OPK's I missed dtd on what potentially was my ov day! And havent since! (Last pos was day before yesterday)
*By my temps I have not even ov yet!

I have had heartburn a few days now and I was in that much pain yesterday it hurt to sit or cough! Now my symptoms are VERY dry mouth and so thirsty. Some twinges on right side...still. Low back pain, had bit of a dizzy spell yesterday evening. Peeing A LOT! Way too much in fact. And very tired. Had low energy for about 4 days now.

Hello newcomers! Welcome to the madness that is clomid club! I hope this gives you girls your sticky bfp really soon!

Sorry its such a confusing time Snl A blood test might be the best bet so you can know either way!

Oh and my af went shorter and super light too!

 

[Anxiously]

Hey CJSG, you seem to be experiencing some heavy-duty prego symptoms I would think that you're covered for CD16, and BBT can take a couple of days to rise after ovulation. Just hang on for a few more days!

 

[CJSG1977]

Thanks hun! x Many are saying that cause of my dip and no major rise that ov is happening today so I am going to dtd today and tomoz just to be sure I hope its preggers symptoms!

How are you getting on hun?

 

[Anxiously]

I'm good! Really hopeful now, I've been feeling abnormally warm after my IUI today, and more tired. But I think it's too premature to pin this down to conception Keeping my fingers crossed that my S-shape cervix is the only problem and I have no blocked tubes or any other stuff that are keeping my from my dream babe. Doc said there's a high chance of twins as well, cos both mature eggs were released today.

 

[CJSG1977]

Oooohhhhh good luck hunni! All sounds good. Twins.... Good Luck hunni!

Do you girls know if clomid can alter a pregancy test???

 

[lauraclili]

Hi all,

Well AF turned up at about 5pm yesterday so my first cycle of Clomid is . Hoping for a better result this time around. Certainly better timing for my scans anyway!

Quick question, if AF turned up at 5pm (full flow) does this mean that today is CD1 or CD2?

Hope you're all ok.
