Clomid symptoms

[Crypto1976]

Hi, i am on my first cycle of clomid.
What reason were you put on clomid for?
I had an ectopic pregnancy in march and a chemical in august. GP wants to increase strength of ov and no. of eggs, part from my "good" side. I do ovulate and my cycles are fairly regular 28-31 days typically
What strength of clomid - I am on 50mg and got 3 mths supply
what cd did you start it on- 3-7
when did you first notice symptoms and what were they- so far so good. I take at night and there has been nothing so far.
Did you get a BFP and if so how many cycles of clomid and what strength- will keep you posted!

Good luck to everyone! XXXXXXXXX

I am on my 2nd round of clomid and its a completely different feeling to what my 1st round felt like... not sure how things will pan out, if the difference in how I am feeling means my body not working this round or ???

Anyone else who done more than 1 round noticed much difference in the way they feel compared to the first time or last round?

I am on my third pill, and its maybe nothing to do with clomid but I am outrageously joyful and happy. Its the weirdest feeling. I am almost euphoric.... I dont remember feeling like this ever before!!!

Hi Kiki,
Yes, I've had a very different reaction the second time around too....much more mild. Last month I had headaches all month, this month I haven't had one and I'm on day 16. But the clomid did work (I had the three follicles) so don't worry, it's probably working again for you as well. Maybe our body gets used to the change so the side effects are not as great.

But crypto, I haven't had the euphoria...maybe round three?

Hi Megg33k, can I ask you a quick question? Did you ovulate twice in one cycle? If so, how did you know? I am on cycle 2 on clomid and was shocked to get a positive on CD 15 of my cycle on OPK as I don't ovulate that early normally. For my first mmc I ovulated on CD 19 and I thought I might have ovulated again on CD 19 this cycle but my DH says that's not possible... I wonder maybe clomid can do that? Does anyone know? I haven't done any more OPK tests after CD 15 as I was told it's pointless to check once you got your positive.

You can! I'm so sorry that took me so long to get back to you! I went a bit MIA really. I was in TTC and forgot I had entered and posted in threads in here. Sorry again!

I believe I did ovulate twice! The only thing that leads me to believe this is what I felt. The first day that I allegedly ovulated, I had hot flashes, nausea, headache, light headedness, spotting, & left ovary pain. The second day I allegedly ovulated, I had nausea, headache, light headedness, right ovary pain, and the spotting (which had stopped) started over. It was so definitive, I couldn't really help but believe it. My OB/GYN didn't seem to think it was odd or impossible either. So, I would say that it is VERY possible. It's not common... but it's not impossible!

Now, if only I could figure out my ovulation this month!

I had the euphoria! It was fantastic. I only got it on my first cycle though. I was SO looking forward to it this cycle... but nada.

Hi Megg33k,

Thanks for your reply. I am on my second month of clomid. The first month, I experienced the first ovulation pain ever in my entire life. But during this round, I didn't get any pain.... Did u get pain every time? My OPK still told me that I ovulated (but I do ovulate naturally). I wish I can have a look what's going on inside!!! All these guessing is killing me...

 

[Crypto1976]

I am not sure if I should worry, I am as high as a kite all day. I am getting up at 4.30am to clean! This is so not me! I love my bed and I do house work once or at most twice a week!

I do feel fantastic but I dont feel normal if that makes any sense, and I keep waiting to come back to earth with a bump!

 

[MillieMoo]

Well i'm having ovulation pains again this month which is good but i'm also having bad hot flushes! To the extent that i just can't sleep! I'm due to ov any day now so i'm thinking its an ov symptom but i've never had hot flushes like this before! Has anyone else had them around this time?

I had never had O pains before either. It was new territory. I had like tiny little twinges of pain on both ovaries in the days leading up to O... doc said it was my ovaries swelling with the new follicle growth. Then, on the days of O, I had the things I described. This cycle? I had the twinges early, as before. Then I've had something more akin to O pains for 4 evenings straight. I didn't get the hot flashes and light headedness this cycle... but I was nauseous off and on yesterday and I did have a very short stint of spotting... just enough that I saw it twice as orangish cm on my tissue and once that looked more like blood mixed with cm. But, this was all in the span of an hour or two. I guess I don't have much of an answer. LOL Sorry!

I am not sure if I should worry, I am as high as a kite all day. I am getting up at 4.30am to clean! This is so not me! I love my bed and I do house work once or at most twice a week!

Well, I definitely wasn't getting up at 4am to clean! I was more "punch drunk" I guess. You know that fantastic kind of giggly happy you get when you haven't slept enough? I was like that! It was awesome!

On the bright side... I didn't really thud back to reality... I mean, it went away... but it was gentle and I didn't really notice until it was already gone. I think it's probably ok!

Last cycle, I had hot flashes, nausea, headache, light headedness, spotting, & left ovary pain on the first day I allegedly ovulated. And, I had nausea, headache, light headedness, right ovary pain, and the spotting (which had stopped) started over on the second day I allegedly ovulated. I was also getting hot flashes and night sweats in the day leading up to O. Mine weren't terrible, but it did happen. I think it's from the floods of hormones that we aren't used to. I would say that it IS a Clomid + impending O symptom!

 

[MillieMoo]

I'm glad its just an ovulation sign then! I don't mind too much if i know its working.

 

[Megg33k]

Yay for O, Millie! Get to ing!

 

[Kiki09]

So how are people doing? any new symptoms?

 

[MillieMoo]

Nope, none from me!

 

[missmarls]

I know that headaches and hot flashes are regular Clomid symptoms....but do they usually last when you've finished your last pill? I took my last one yesterday and got the same stupid headache this morning that I've had since starting Clomid!

 

[brooklyn1]

I know what you mean! Last cycle I had headaches off and on up until af...but the good news is that I haven't had any headaches on the second round.

 

[missmarls]

That's great news! Hopefully mine will taper off too...by the way your chart looks very promising! Fingers crossed for you!

 

[brooklyn1]

I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot at all, because every symptom I have could mean af as well...my bbs are really sore and I've been having weird crampy feelings in my ovaries and uterus for the past two days. I think all of it may be related to the clomid and hormone changes. Argh, it is so hard not to get your hopes up. Even with my chart, there's a dip that looks like implantation, but I've had that same dip on several other months, so can't get too excited there either.
Fingers crossed for all of us september clomid ladies.
how's everyone else doing?
xoxo

 

[MillieMoo]

Brooklyn, your chart looks really good and you've even got that little temp dip which they say can represent the implantation! I hope thats it!

How come you have had to add your ovulation line manually on your chart? It looks clear to me and i would of thought FF would of picked it up!

 

[brooklyn1]

FF told me to add it since I had the ovidrel trigger shot and it should occur 36 hours later. Thanks for looking at my chart, I hope it's implantation too, but you never know, I've had those sorts of dips before.

 

[little_e]

also trying very hard not to symptom spot too i have no spotting so far, not like last cycle, spotted for 10 days or so before AF decided to come.
it does feel like AF is coming though, it's 13dpo. Last time on clomid AF came 15dpo... i feel sick but i do feel like this every time before AF comes so it is probably AF so i really don't want to have my hopes up!
