Starting clomid in 2 weeks

[Lozza1712]

Hi there!
I'm new to here we have been TTC for three years, I have endometrisis and had larproscopy surgery sept 2013, tried naturally on advice of fertility docs as AF cycles restarted! But no luck so far :-/ currently 2dpo and on last natural cycle before starting clomid 50mg.
Anyone else staring this for first time? Anyone currently on it? How do you find side effects? And why are you on clomid?
Thanks look forwards to hopefully meeting people starts same time! X

Hiya. My first cycle was 50mg CD3-7 last month.
I had horrible migraines off the bat that lasted almost the whole week. I also had terrible hot flashes day 3 into taking them, then in and off for another week. Also, About a week after I took them I developed really odd leg pains. It almost felt like I had walked 853357 miles. They were achey/crampy and all around miserable. I kept having to move to forget the pain.
My cycles are 26/28 days. Very normal with O on cd14 almost every month. . So I was a little disappointed when 11 months in we all hadn't conceived.
Anyway, I had my CD21 blood work results at 15... Not bad, but not great I was told.

We decided to up my dose this time and while I had no migraines (yay) I had the hot flashes and severe leg pains again. . Leading me to believe it was definitely Clomid related. I did a lot of research on that side affect and it is rare. I'm worried it was blood clot related but I never called the OB about it.

I would suggest taking original mucinex after AF to O when you start as lots of girls say the Clomid dries up cm. I did notice a decrease last cycle and only took it 4 days before O. This time I started after AF and had no issues so I think it definitely helped.

I wish you lots of luck and I hope you don't run into any major side affects!

Fx'd for you!

Hi
About ttc no.2 on clomid, I have ovulation issues and have done for years, I've always had regular periods but just never any O when I've had day 21 progesterone tests done.
I conceived my son who's now 3 on clomid in 2010, luckily enough 1st cycle.
Don't remember any side effects back then apart from a few headaches.
Good luck everyone x
