First Meltdown on Clomid! Help!

[Wishing4baby]

I just had my first meltdown on clomid! Talking to DH and just started crying all of a sudden for no reason what so ever! Very weird. I feel like Im beginning to become an emotional mess. HOW LONG DOES THIS LAST?? Anyone else go through this?

Yes, I felt this way. I only had symptoms while I was taking it. So, the emotions went away as soon as the 5 days were finished. However, I took it in the evening before bed the second time around and the side effects were much more managable. Are you taking it in the morning or the evening?

Lasts about a week normally. My paranoia kicks in as soon as I take the second tablet. Seriously, I am a basket case and think the world is out to get me. And I do cry a lot too.

Well considering I work nights, I dont always take it at the same time. My "am's and pm's" are all mixed up. I dont technically have a morning and night...it really varies alot. So somedays I have taken it during the day and sometimes right before I went to bed. Today was the only symptom so far after 3 pills. So I guess so far thats not too bad. Glad to hear that some of these symptoms dont stay around too long. I guess I can deal with the five days of tears if thats they way its going to be for now on. I just hope my DH can too! Thanks for sharing-I needed it that!

aww hun the same thing happened to my BFF her first round of clomid. there was one day where she was just hit HARD with depression out of NOWHERE. she was fine the next day (and then other days rather bitchy couldn't really tell what mood she'd be in the next day!) only lasted a day for her though. take care and good luck, hope you feel better soon!

I was really emotional one my second round and put it down to the fact I had my heart set on it working first time, then the next month was even worse it only lasted for the 6 days I was actually taking the tablets but it was awful, got so bad my DH said the second time this is it no more clomid if it is going to make you like this but after MC and back on clomid its not so bad this time, I think your bod needs time to get used to all the increased hormones.

Stick with it. Also did your doc/nurses not advise you to take it at the same time each day? Mine did.

I found the first couple of months I was on clomid my hormones were raging! However once my body got used to it the side effects seemed to wear off. I think the clomid works best as well if you try and take it around the same time each day.

Awww Hun .. The emotions will disappear as quickly as they came, they did with me. I was a complete and utter emotional wreck on my first round, on my second round I wasn't at all emotional but suffered sever hot flushes.
Its all swings and rounabouts Im afraid.
Good Luck for this month xx

I basically take it around the same time of day, give a few hours here and there. But for example if I take it at 8pm, I could either be just waking up because Im going to work or just about to go to bed because Im off that day. See what I mean? Its kinda hard when u work nights to take it everyday before "going to bed." But Its working out ok for now. I just hope I get that this cycle!

Hello ladies, just wondered if many of you took your tablets at NIGHT??? I started my first round of Clomid in April this year and IT Worked!!!!
Got my BFP first month on the drug, still in shock and today i'm 36+3!
I toke it at night of a few other ladies on here, and from my consultant, i can honestly say that i wasnt emotional or hormonal! However not sure if that was due to the fact i completely stopped drinking Coffee, and only had water and juice. I tried to rid my body of chemicals whilst on Clomid as i had read it worked better! And it did.

Book i consulted was

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Natural-Solutions-Infertility-Conceiving-Miscarriage/dp/0749920599

Found it a fantastic read. Only had it 2weeks before we started clomid. So not 199% sure if BFP was a result of

Clomid
Clomid and actions taken from book, but either way the book was great and so was Clomid.

All the very best to you girlies and i hope you all have your BFP's very soon
