Hi ladies

my cycles are definalty lighter on clomid ! this is only my second cycle but on the first cycle it was only 4 days long and really in comparison to it being 7 days long and rather heavy.

But i think the clomid is makeing me feel dreadfull! have booked an appointment to go and see the GP today, this is my second cycle of taking it days 2-6 and today i cd13 but for the last 4 days i havent even been able to function. the headaches are horrific - nausea light headed , dizzy spells. didnt have this the last time so am hoping that maybe im just a bit ill lol. but i will be asking today to be tracked ! slightly concerned that my ovary is killling !!

@Summer, This is only my first cycle of clomid and i am waiting to OV still, but i have had similar symptoms like you. I am still having dizzy spells,hot flashes and annoying headaches. I also had slight naseau, and felt like I was coming down with the flu. I have had bad gas and some cramping. I have done research and the side effects you are experiencing are normal for the drug.

Here is a copy and paste from an article about the side effects:

"Clomiphene is a weak hormone and may cause occasional
hormonal side effects including mild nausea, abdominal discomfort, hot flushes, blurring of vision or
spots in front of the eyes, headaches, dizziness, and enlargement (or cysts) of the ovaries. These
side effects are usually mild and frequently occur only for the first month or two on the medication.
Most patients have no symptoms and are unaware they are even taking a medication. You should
call the office if any symptoms appear severe."

I think if your side effects are severe than it is a good idea to talk to your DR. My side effects seem normal and mild even though they are uncomfortable and not much fun. Good luck and bay dust to you hun, hopefully it will all be worth it and we will both get our BFP's soon!!!!!

Hi.

I have been on TTC since my son was 8 months. This month he is 26 months already. OB prescribes Clomid, on first cycle now. Waiting to ovulate, tomorrow has appointment for vaginal scan. Yesterday had one, he saw two follicles. Hopefully this cycle will bring good news.

I took Clomid (50mg) from CD2-6. Haven't had headache or swing in mood. I just felt happier and can't wait to O.

my first Clomid cycle on FF is in my signature. It's been reliable for me. My problem now is that my temps are SUPER HIGH and I'm spotting so I don't know if the Clomid increased my progesterone and that's what's keeping my temp up or not since this is too late to be IB.

Best of luck to you & all the Clomid first timers that just joined! I had my blood drawn this morning for a quant hcg - I hope they call with the results today.

Mine didn’t, I usually always temp at 5:30 daily before I get out of bed before my first peewee in the morning and start from cd10 (my cycles are 28-30 days). Also, I did mine virginally because I found my temps were more consistent down there then when I did it in my mouth.

Good luck

My temps after O were the same as they were before clomid. My O was a day later than it usually is though. I'm still on the first cycle 5 dpo.

Pineapple - FX crossed for you sweetie!!! I spotted with both of my girls when it was time for AF the first time, but she never came...

girls this af is heavy witch is good ha started taking fresh royal jelly well had 2 bottles of carlsberg it was nice but i feel ruff today as ewt today x x x

15 dpo, still "spotting" and by spotting I mean it's there sometimes when I wipe but not every time. It's only made it on to my liner like maybe 3 times since it started. I tested :BFN: with FMU on a FRER. I know I'm not pregnant but what is going on? I had light periods before Clomid, is it possible that this is my period? That's what I am thinking... not sure about the temps though. It's been really hot here lately, but I have central air and have kept the thermostat the same for the past few weeks. I wish the doctor's office would've called me back yesterday, I hate not knowing the results of that blood test.

Pineapple... Was your temp up again today? Clomid cause me to spot 2 days before af came, but high temps is a good thing!!!
Mine dropped the day af showed her face, in full force.
Good luck! I have my FX for u!

yeah it went up again today. This is my first month of Clomid. In the past without Clomid, my temp always started dropping the day I spotted before AF so this is super confusing to me.

 

[sadie]

On clomid my temps drop with AF. So, maybe this is a good thing!!

Can u call the drs office? Leave a message?? Not nice to keep u waiting thru the weekend.

I called before they closed yesterday and left a message with the nurse but they didn't call back. I KNOW they had my results, as I got them drawn at 10am and they didn't close until 3. They told me it would take 3 hours for them to have the results. I must not be an important person.

CD 2 girls first day of 100mg clomid and onto IUI woohoo I cant be more excited and nervous at the same time!

 

[Anxiously]

AF is due today but BBT is still high, boobs are still sore, and this morning I had mild cramps that last for 3 seconds every 10 minutes for about an hour. Never had these symptoms before, I wonder what's going on.
