clomid club

[Maurie]

What side effects did you ladies get?

Maurie, what do you mean by Crazy? lol

I must start by saying, I am an emotional person naturally. Add hormones onto that and I have mood swings, There were higher highs and lower lows for me. The mood swings may also have been due to my birthday and the holidays coming up too.

 

[Monalissa]

Maurie, it extended my luteal phase without spotting by 1-2 days. I'm about 15 DPO now too. I was hoping I wouldn't spot at all anymore, guess not. I O'd 2-3 days later than usual.

Mrs.B., I had hot flashes, headaches and was lightheaded. I spent a couple days feeling lightheaded all day long. I hated that the most! I work in NYC and taking the subway feeling like that is kind of scary. But I will say that I am more "sensitive" to being lightheaded because of an inner ear infection I had years ago, so maybe that's why it affected me like that.

Evening girls have decided to skip clomid this mnth due to all the partying we will be doing hoping it will perk me up as I was so down when af arrived after a 6 mnth break from clomid I got it into my head that it would defo work this time and when af arrived it crushed me a little hope you all have an amazing Xmas love and babydust to u all xxxx

 

[mrphyemma]

Merry Christmas Winston. I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same last cycle too after a three month break, I actually epected a BFP because I had had one last November too. How crazy am I? Our turns will come hun, enjoy your Christmas and get plenty of BDing in just incase. xx

Winston , emma just popping in to say hi!! Check out my sig!! Only pug it up today!! Had 2 scans seen hb! But not counting my chickens as I had hb before but praying this feels different I have nausea an symptoms!! Love it!!
I had few months off clomid then I took it 2 months expected bfp! Nothing!! 3rd month didn't expect it an wham bfp!! Whilst I was away in Thailand with work! I personally think clomid takes few months to get back in ur system!! So don't give up!

Emma I no this must be bringing back memories but it will happen I no it!! Merry Xmas to u both is caz still around? Xx

I had the same hot flushes, lightheadedness and raging emotions when i took clomid in the first cycle. This cycle I have increased to 100mg and NO SIDE EFFECTS!!! I fear it may not be working but I am not losing hoping until the first scan next week. I am only day 2 today but the last cycle I had it all from day 1!

As for me, my AF that I thought was light is now incredibly heavy, bonus is that there are very few clots which I normally got, lets hope day 4 of the cycle is better tomorrow and lighter..sorry TMI

hello girls,

I have come to terms with the fact that I belong here now and will begin to make myself comfortable here. It's so hard to see how so many leave the trying to conceive section and I'm just stuck there. I guess many of you have moved onto here and it will be nice to see some familiar faces.

This is my second round of clomid (first didn't work) and I'm 7dpo and will get my progesterone levels back tomorrow (I hope) and really am praying that it's high enough. I will probably test on Christmas but I have mixed feelings about that. I'm not all that hopeful and don't want a Christmas let down.

So this is me saying hi (I don't think for the first time)!

How is everyone?

 

[Mrs.B.]

Hey ladies, I think Clomid has made my temp jump up! Was surprised this morning with my reading so I checked It again. I also had weird dreams last night, maybe a coincidence but strange non the less

 

[winston83]

Thanks Emma xxx

Hey mrsb, I've heard clomid does increase temps. Mine certainly went up last cycle overall. Not temping this cycle though. Hopefully this is your bfp cycle!

 

[Asryellah]

Daviess!!! OMG Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you!

As for me, af arrived today so I'll sign off from this thread. I will not be using clomid anymore. I'll take a break and then see whats next for us..maybe IUI?
Clomid didn't do the trick, not a suprise though cos I ovulate on my own anyways, so maybe the problem lays somewhere else. Truly wish good luck to all of you ladies in here, and hopefully year 2012 will be our lucky year!!!

and Merry Christmas

Actually, that was one side effect (?) that I forgot I posted about when I was taking it. I had really strange, vivid dreams!

Ive never had such weird dreams that I remembered all the detail in

Just wanted to say hello and welcome! Fingers crossed that your second round worked!

Hi everyone. I have been a lurker on these boards for some time now. Thought I'd step out into the light...haha.

I am 36 and my husband will be 41 in 2 months. We have been TTC for 14 months with a lot of frustration.

My husband finally took his SA at the end of October (only took him 6 months to get up the nerve for that- said it was mortifying....can you imagine?? silly boy!). The SA was a 1.3. My OB said that was slightly low but nothing to be concerned with. (How can slightly low be nothing to be concerned with?)

I then went for the HORRIBLE HSG test. No issues there, either...except for the writhing pain and agony that was the test!! I should have known when the nurses shoved 2 pads and 3 washcloths under the changing room door that I was in serious trouble. OMG! I had terrible cramping and pain until my period started on 12/2.

I have been charting my BBT since the beginning (for over 14 months). I ovulate late, usually around day 20-22 and start my cycle over on day 28. I do ovulate, which is good but my luteal phase is terribly short.

My OB started me on 50mg CLOMID days 3-7. I started my 1st round on12/5. I also invested in the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor. I've had a lot of High days but b/c I have been doing my BBT, I had a temp drop on 12/18. We BD on 12/18 but the monitor still showed it as a High day. On 12/20 I got my 1st PEAK reading and we BD again. My temps have shot up. I know I O'd somewhere between 12/18-12/20. I also have another PEAK reading today.

The issue here is that I have been having the WORST abdominal/uterus pain EVER! Feels similar to the soreness after the HSG. A lot of tugging and to speak frankly, it feels like my inside could burst onto the floor. The pressure is crazy. It is not constant. It comes and goes. Walking, sitting, lying down. The heating pad doesn't help the pain but it comforts me. I am moody and tired. I've had a few headaches. I feel nauseous after eating but it hasn't curbed my appetite. I'm a wreck, emotionally as well.

I've heard this CLOMID can do crazy things. I've called my OB and I'm going in tomorrow for a blood test....I suppose to check my progesterone levels. If all is "normal", whatever that is, I will start a 100mg CLOMID cycle next month.

I really don't feel like I obsess with getting pregnant. I think others around me obsess about me more than I do. I'm the type that sees it as “I'll do what I can and if it happens, it happens, when it happens".

This weird stuff happening to by body and mind is driving me nuts, though.

Thanks for letting me vent and join in on the "party". At least here I feel like others kind of know how I feel. I know,

I'll keep you updated......

 

[trying hard]

Mrs B I so know what you mean about the clomid working even without a BFP first time round. I managed to sort out my LPD first round, I may not have got pregnant but it was a HUGE step in the right direction. Good luck honey!! My only side affects ar hot flushes from CD 3 - 10 tight feelings in overys around time of o and crazy real dreams.My temps are also higher too.

Mrs lmh
Good luck, I hope clomid works it's baby magic on you

Maurie have you tryed some EPO or B6 to level out your hormones so you don't get so emotional on the clomid. I find my PMS is now non existent

Winston Enjoy your break hun hope you can come back full of hope and energy again in a couple months

Helena welcome to LTTTC so sorry you had to come here and hope your stay here is a short one

Asryellah So sorry it hasn't worked for you don't give up hope i truly hope you get your real soon

jdonn Welcome to the board. your HSG sounds like it was horrible! When I had mine done the only uncomfortable bit was when they put the suction cup on my cervix and it wasn't too bad at all. I also took my one pad off like half an hour after the procedure. Strange that yours was so bad! Sorry about the pain your experiencing It is probibly just all those little folicals waiting to be fertilised. Good luck!


Nothing to report with me, CD 8 and nearly finished bleeding. Such a long period for me yucky! but at least my lining must have been pretty good last month Lots of hot flushes which is making it hard to sleep though the summer nights but if it gives me a baby I don't mind.


Good luck and baby dust to all of us
