clomid club

[wonderstars]

Hi ladies,

I hope I can pop in here. I'm starting my first 50mg pill tomorrow (CD5). Lots of good info in here! I've come to the conclusion that I should take the pills at night because I may have hot flashes and headaches? I should also expect to be a little bitchy this cycle?

Just peeking in and hoping to join the success stories in here.

I find taking it at night works best. I didn't get too many symptoms and I think that's why. I wouldn't say expect to be bitchy, but many of us do get mood swings, so don't be surprised if you do. Good luck

Hey ladies I'd love to join you, I'm on my first clomid cycle now, weirdly I'm doing days 7-11??? Has anyone heard of this before? I've got PCOS and really long cycles, have had 3 miscarriages and got one miracle baby who I conceived naturally almost 3 years ago.
I'm on my 3rd day of clomid and I definitely have a tender abdomen and a bit of a constant headache/tiredness thing going on. Other than that no symptoms whatsoever.
Like Helena_Lynn I take mine at night.
Hope everyone's well, I'm off to bed now x

Hey ladies,

I was wondering if any of you had strong uterine cramps and pain in an ovary area during the BD after taking clomid?

This is my first cycle on clomid, Ian on cd 18 and got a positive opk earlier today. So naturally dh and I dtd this evening but it was really quite painful. I got really really bad uterine cramps and also a pain in my right ovary area. I didn't tell dh about it as I don't want him refusing to dtd tomorrow, but I've never had this before. Do you think it's linked to the clomid some how?

 

[trying hard]

It would have been a combination of two things in my opinion. The ovary pain from your follicles being so big/ovulating... and the pain inside, I get that often and it is from your cervix being in the way a bit ( A good thing really it means you are catching the best time to TDT)

Thank you trying hard. So you don't think its anything to worry about (as you know I am not really being monitored)? It does makes sense that that is what it was (I have been so focused on opk's and cbfm etc that I have forgotten all about my cervix this month). i have a bit of back ache this morning, found it uncomfortable to lie on my tummy, and getting a fair few cramps going on today as well. Here's hoping they are all good signs of a strong ovulation!

 

[Jammers]

Lisa I had similar symptoms and I remeber it hurting as well. I am almost 6 weeks now hopefully this is your BFP month. I would say you are having good signs!!!

 

[LolaAnn]

Ohh congrats Jammers! How many mg of clomid were you on? x

Here's hoping jammers, keep my FX. We really should have dtd last night as i got a +opk Saturday/Sunday. We dtd on Saturday but we ended up having words last night and there was no bd'ing. Hopefully Saturday was enough and tonight for good measure!

Hi girls, I am away on holiday at the moment, but I just wanted to say that I have a peak on my CBFM on CD12 BUT my opks are still saying negative!! Does anyone know why this might be? Lisa and Trying Hard, I also have some cramps - hoping it's a good sign!

 

[Jammers]

lola,
I did 50mg and did not ovulate then upped to 100 and got preg on my second cycle of
100mg

 

[Lisa2701]

Hows everyone getting on today?

I feel like i've been hit by a bus today, every muscle in my body hurts like crazy. Not so good, but I am sure I will feel better tomorrow!

 

[Jammers]

Lisa,

Sorry you are not feeling well. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

I am very tired but doing well.

 

[Lisa2701]

Lisa,

Sorry you are not feeling well. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

I am very tired but doing well.

Thanks Jammers. I have a medical condition that causes the pain but hoping tomorrow I don't feel quite as bad as I have today! I am desperate to take some pain meds but always weary of taking them in the tww.

glad to hear you are doing well!! Have you any MS or anything yet?

Hi Lisa,
How far along are you in your first clomid cycle? Did you feel any different? I'm 6dpo today and the hot flashes are already starting That's usually the first sign for me that AF is coming in a couple days. I have a very short LP of 9-10 days so it would make sense. Oh well... I hope you feel better and babydust to all of you!

Does anyone else get crazy dreams/nightmares in the tww with clomid?? I'm 5dpo and have had horrible nightmares the last two nights. I keep waking up, so I get crap sleep.

 

[filipenko32]

Me Helena! I am 2dpo and I was just about to ask this. Had shocking dreams last night! It might be double amounts of progesterone because 2 eggs were released!!

 

[heavenly]

Hi ladies

Well AF is due tomorrow, then it will be my final round on Clomid.

If nothing happens, I am actually quite looking forward to going back to TTC au naturelle, just taking supplements and acupuncture starts next week. Will keep doing this until we have saved up enough for IVF.

Love to you all and hope you get lucky this cycle!

YES, I had horrible nightmares too. Very violent and bloody (as far as I remember). It was awful. My DH woke me up one night because I was whimpering in my sleep. No crazy dreams for the past week though but now my DH keeps me awake with his snoring...

 

[LolaAnn]

yikes :S not looking forward to that!! still haven't O'd yet
