Hi All 
Cycle 2 of 50mg Clomid for me this month, and cycle 1 went really well, no side effects and feeling good. This month I took it CD1-5 as due to work commitments I'm out of town CD14 - I need to ovulate asap! My OH works away 2 weeks in 4, so we don't have much leeway in TTC.
I do ovulate on my own, but have been suffering delayed Ov after experimentation with EPO and taking a few days of BCP to change my cycle dates
here's hoping Clomid gets me back on track.
Last month (Clomid cycle 1) I had a + opk on CD12, but didn't end up ovulating until CD15, that is to say my opks went back to negative and then turned positive again. Has anyone else experienced this extra surge on Clomid?
The only other thing I noticed is my ov pain which I normally get the night before and day of Ov, was really really intense, so much so I woke up and had to take painkillers.

Hi ladies... I am currently waiting for af to come so I can start my first round of clomid!!I will be on 50 mg on cd5-9... I am due for af on the 24th of this month so I should begin clomid on the 28th. Hoping to have success the first time around. Lots of baby dust to you all and lets keep our fingers crossed for all of our BFP!!!!!
I wish you lots of luck I dont get to bd at all this month cause hubby is still in Iraq and wont be home until the 2 of febuary so maybe if I OV later in my cycle I have a chance but if not this month I feel is kind of wasted but FS said this would be better to get my cycle in order. Side affects were not that bad and I have myself pretty freaked out but they were just more annoying. Today was the last day of my pills for this cycle so I will begin to testing in a couple of days and hopefully get and Positive OPK I hope this works. Good luck to you on your first cycle and baby dust to you and fx this is the one for you!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! I hope my side effects are as light as your because I can deal with a little annoying effects but I just dont want them to be so bad to where I quit the meds.. that would be so bad lol. Dont worry everything will work out and you and your husband will have you little bundle of joy soon...dont feel like its wasted because you cant bd this month because it might actually work out in your favor. good luck!!!

2-6 = more eggs, 5-9 -= tronger more mature egg, but not as many, probably just one
Thanks! Suppose doctors etc must bear this in mind when making their decisions.. X

Hopefully, I guess as were not Oing by ourselves they put us on early to up our chances of an egg getting out? Those who already O seem to be put on later to make that already existing O stonger?

Well I was very emotional, like i would look at certain things and just start crying. its almost like pms symptoms, i have been cranky. My Breasts have hurt so bad for almost two weeks, and now i need a new bra because they are huge. A little bit of nausea, but nothing too bad.

Congrats TTCreed! So great to see a success story!
I just finished taking my first cycle of clomid. At first the only s/e I noticed was the hot flashes. Now I'm SO TIRED!!!! I am usually full of energy and love to exercise... right now I feel exhausted yet can't sleep without sleeping pills. Anyone else noticed insomnia and fatigue?

Hey Ladies! This is my first round of clomid and today was day 7 for me! I have been ttc for over 2yrs now and my doc decided to put me on clomid. I heard of a lot of success with it and I hope that I am one of those lucky ones, as well as everyone else 
!! It's really great to hear about success!!

That is so great hun, I am thrilled for you!!!!!
YIPPY!!!!!!
Took last pill this morning (thank God) Hopefully some of these horrid side effects will calm down too. Madie remembered to get into OHs side of the bed this morning so am relieved that what happened the other night wont happen again. I'm afraid to tell doc in case she tells me not to take them any more
Mrs pete I get exhausted on clomid too but when bed time comes cant sleep. When I finally get to sleep i have horrible and vivid dreams!! OH says I am always tossing and turning and calling out in my sleep. (probably why I am so tired) Night before last I was having a bad dream and my 3 and a half year old daughter who had gotten into bed with us put her hand in my face so I bit her in my sleep. I woke up to her screaming and her arm still n my mouth. Was so disgusted with myself. I was expecting side affects but not that!!

so what does this mean, your going to take it? or wait?
OK OK I JUST DID IT!!!
No turning back now, cd 3-7 this cycle it is!!! Just don't tell my husband....or my doctor...I don't think they'd approve of me taking matters into my own hands. 
But really, it's only 25 mg, how much harm could it do?! (Hope I didn't just jinx myself by saying that! )

My breasts started to get tender and hurt about a week and a half ago, i am also experiencing a bad backache and crampy feeling in my abdomen. I hope that goes away and I have never experience any of these symptoms before. I have miscarried once before but its been like 3 years since i miscarried. I eat dinner and then an hour later I am starving again.
