Hi, I am not taking it but have (I am doing IVF at mo). Just wanted to wish you luck and throw a bit advise in. I took it on an evening and all the advise I got said to do this, it means any side effects were during sleep time (well that was the plan lol). It made me really tired so I would say grab rest and take it easy. Only other thing I had with second round was some visual disturbances (pretty common), did not last out but was a bit freaky. Just something to be aware of. Best of luck!

 

[1nceUponATime]

Thank you! What exactly was your visual disturbance like? How long did it last?

Absolutely! Are you going to be using OPK's or charting at all. I starting charting this month, and I will be using OPK's....I also have a day 21 blood draw scheduled with my doctor ! Good Luck!

 

[Motherof2CA]

Well since I have PCOS my RE told me OpKs won't do anything but drive me crazy but little does he know I'm a POAS addict so no stopping me! I bought 100 OPK online to start the war so YES I am using OpKs haha. I do temp and love it. He gave me some needles and stuff for trigger shots incase I need them soon he said they will teach me how to use them on my day 12 scan. My husband is also taking male fertalaide per my REs suggestion he said it wouldn't hurt. I'm excited that we are buddies

I don't have PCOS, right now my condition is really just unexplained infertility, so the first step is hormones. AF doesn't come for me at all without birth control...I just spent a hundred days waiting for it to come (doesn't even come with Provera), so I did a cycle reset with BCP and I'm taking Clomid straight from my withdraw bleed. If the 50mg doesn't work we will try 100mg....after that, my doctor said she will have to refer me to a different specialist for injectables. So, I'm crossing my fingers this Clomid works its magic. I am really frustrated with myself!

 

[1nceUponATime]

I started temping this month too...I'm only on day 3 but I already think my chart makes no sense lol my temperature seems like its not very consistent.

 

[Motherof2CA]

Hahahh you crack me up your like my little duckling haha we haven't been temping much we didn't wan to stress out. I went from no AF from May to September then took provera to kick start me that was my October AF then the obgyn referred me to an RE. He gave me clomid for days 3-7. I am a few days ahead of you on our first round of clomid so it will be nice to share symptoms and push eachother thru. We want a baby girl . I told my husband lets make a vision board lol cute shoes, princess stuff you name it so we always have positive thoughts. Don't get me wrong we love making a baby BD is no problem for us haha. I am just an inpatient person wish someone would invent pregnancy test that show 1DPO lol

 

[1nceUponATime]

Yeah definitely! My only problem is not ovulating...I wish someone could just shake me and my ovaries would wake up!

I've always wanted a little boy, and my DH wants one too....I think either of us would be fine with a baby girl though!

Or we could end up with Clomid twins! haha

 

[Motherof2CA]

Right? Here's to clomid twins!! Could you imagine? I'm not ovulating either so here's to hoping this is our month !

 

[1nceUponATime]

DH & I only want two so...I would be okay with a set of twins! How's taking Clomid going? Getting any side effects? I only took my first yesterday. I noticed it made me a bit drowsy (not too bad) and I got nausea, but it went away right after I ate something.

 

[Motherof2CA]

Today was my last pill! To be honest the only day I had any visible side effects was day one I had this horrible pounding in my ear then I got dizzy. Pretty much that's it. I mean all women are emotional but I didn't scare my husband or anything haha. Don't know if the no side effects is a good thing or bad maybe I just didnt notice them. Are you taking anything else? I have really good insurance so my RE and I have already discussed other methods incase this doesn't work. I'm hoping this is it though as well all hope for that. I noticed today I have slight cramping on and off which is odd so early but we will see if it gets worse

 

[1nceUponATime]

I'm not taking anything else for fertility ... I do have a couple bottles of Vitex, but I figured I would give that a shot if Clomid did not work, because I am sure it would take me months to get in to see a specialist. I do take a multivitamin..and melatonin to sleep at night.

 

[Motherof2CA]

The waiting game is soo hard. My hubs is such a strong supporter that I am extremly greatful for. He goes and buys little girl outfits to hang up so we don't loose focus. I anxious to see if this round of clomid works for us. People say they had blurred vision do you have that ?

 

[1nceUponATime]

So far I don't have really any symptoms besides it makes me a little light headed after I take it...but not even too bothersome...and I have had a major headache the last couple days (but headaches are very common for me, so I don't think this is clomid related) I have heard though that some of the side effects don't hit you until after your last pill...but every month might be different too.

I don't feel super emotional or anything....I feel happy.

 

[Motherof2CA]

I have to tell you tonight I feel lots of movement. Twinges , tightness, and horrible hot flashes! I hope these are all good signs. Happy Thanksgiving buddy

 

[westernmama]

I start my first round of clomid Saturday (11-29) I called my OB/GYN on the day I started spotting so my script says to start tomorrow, however, I know CD1 was Tuesday So starting Saturday!

 

[1nceUponATime]

Happy Thanksgiving buddy!...All I feel is full (of turkey) and I still have a horrid headache I cannot get rid of !

WesternMama -- That's so exciting! I'm a little ahead of you and Motherof2 is a little ahead of me! Hopefully this ends in BFP for all of us! Baby Dust!

 

[1nceUponATime]

How you feeling today? I definitely feel side effects from Clomid, I think. Today I feel nauseous and lightheaded. I still have a headache that will not quit. Only today and tomorrow left for pills, then hopefully these side effects will go away.
