clomid making me emotional?

[megapatt01]

welp ladies, i think it's starting already! gyno suggested that taking clomid was going to make me looney. she even warned my dh! haha and i think it's beginning! and, i'm only on day one....
this is going to be a fun four more days!

i don't really feel completely ...
not yet, anyway. i just kind of feel like crying a little bit. and i'm going through different stages of this whole TTC thing. at first, before getting health ins. and visiting gyno- i had no hope whatsoever...

then, i visited gyno and decided i was tired of being depressed over it all. i was making myself accept the fact that taking the clomid was the first && only step so far that dh and i can take to getting pregnant. i think i was even a little bit hopeful that i would be pregnant, very, very soon!!!

but now, after the first day of clomid, i think i'm losing hope again. and i'm not sure why? i think it's just my hormones and my emotions going bananas! i've been thinking about the 3 billion girls i work with that are pregnant, and then i visited a friend's facebook that's pregnant! BIG MISTAKE. i saw her status, and suddenly lost any hope i had! not sure why? i know this clomid is going to work, sometime or another. i refuse to believe anything other wise. but i'm just feeling down now. feeling like crying!!!!!

and i'm also rambling. just curious, did anyone else feel depressed with clomid? or just feel like crying, and you're not even sure why? surely i'm not that crazy?

No hun your not crazy, Im really emotional on clomid! Suffer badly with pms at the best of times as it is but even more so now Im on clomid, its now all month through lol

i normally consider myself a very laid back person but i was a total nightmare lol on clomid i cried at anything and everyone annoyed me

 

[megapatt01]

well that makes me a feel a little better. makes me feel not completelycrazy, anyways! hahaha! my MIL lives with me...
and ladies, i can not handle her anymore! she's driving me insane. but we've got a lot of problems, and it would take way to much time to explain them all. basically i feel like she has no respect for DH and i. she takes our privacy into NO consideration. when she moved in i thought she would have her life, and we would have ours...but boy was i wrong!!! i'm tired of having a 3rd party in my marriage!!!

i'm about to take day 3 here in a few minutes, and i'm soo hoping for the best!!! really hoping to see a on 10/10/10!

I'm glad its not just me

I am with you all. This is my first month of clomid. I would consider myself a fairly rational person but seem to have found myself crying at everything... including the thought of a sheep being slaughtered on a TV programme the other day... eh?!!?!

Its quite strange because a few instances I have been laughing and crying all at once. The good news is though that I have stopped taking the tablets now and feeling more human - its also been great to actually get some sleep as whilst taking the clomid I was getting no more than 3 hours sleep!

An alternative to Clomid that has less side effects (for most people) is Femara/Letrozole.
I really liked it and only had a mild headache on a regular dose.
Femara is also nice as it leaves your system faster than Clomid. so whatever side effecs you may have are shorter. There is not as great a chance of multiples as on Clomid but for some women it works better than Clomid.
May be worth asking your doctor about for next time.

I agree! I did one round on Femara, and one on Clomid. After Clomid, I switched RIGHT back to Femara. I was too a nightmare on Clomid. Now that I'm back on Femara, I feel like myself again. I will never take Clomid again. It also didnt work as well for me. With Femara, I had 3 19mm Follies!!! Clomid, I had a handful of super small ones. I would absolutley ask your Dr. about Femara.

I can personally say I hate clomid but needs must, side effects for me are awful and im only on 50mg! Mind you if I eventually get a bfp then im sure Il be describing it as the most wonderful drug ever invented lol x

I'm currently on 150 mg and I take mine at night, however the night's I took them I had hot flashes all night and now that I'm getting closer to O I'm having more hot flashes, restless sleep and I'm an emotional wreck. My mother called from Canada today and I had a big huge cry on the phone...lmao..I don't normally get homesick anymore(been here almost a year and a half) but I guess it must have been my emotions all crazy because I had a big cry fest.
I hope the symptoms stop after I O because this is horrible and when I'm not being emotional I have a sick feeling in my stomach, I didn't get emotional on 50mg or 100mg but I am this month Good luck!!
