Ttc #1 with clomid

[EmilieBrianne]

clomid definatly turned me into a crazy person that is for sure. idk I feel much more laid back about this cycle. I just don't feel like its going to happen this cycle (not being a downer about it or anything) so i just haven't been as on track to temping or anything like that.

I don't think i will be ovulating cd 15 either this time feeling like its gonna be later

I started clomid again last night but my symptoms seem to be getting worse. I am so emotional. I hope I ovulate again on cd 19. I like that I have been consistent these past couple months

 

[swimmyj1]

besides being emotional what kind of symptoms are you having?

Im kind of nervous about using it again next month, it made me into such a crazy person, and i could tell i was being crazy but that didn't stop me from acting that way. looks like i will be ovulating later today or tomorrow. Either way gonna bd when my dh gets home from work, sense I got a peak on my monitor today.

Swimmy when did you get your side effects, was it whilst taking Clomid or after?
I havent had a great deal of s/e apart from some bloating and an acne flare up. I take them at night and due to take my 4th pill this evening.

My symptoms started on pill day 3 lasted for a few days after I finished them. I was an emotional roller coaster, you guys might get a kick out of this but I started screaming at my DH because he left the bread out of the bread box. It spiraled to me actually packing a bag and driving to my mothers 2 hours away. I could hear a little part of me saying please stop you are being crazy but I couldn't stop it hahaha. And I am by no means usually an emotional roller coaster kind of girl. I also got really bad hot flashes.

I cried in the middle of sex it was so bad we had to stop for the night and he just held me while I cried lol. I am not an emotional person either lol.

Wow both of you seem to have had very strong reactions to clomid, apart from a little bit of bloat i havent really had anything. I take my last pill this evening and then its just a waiting game. I hope i dont get any crazy symptoms, i have heard they can occur after ovulation but im also going to be taking progesterone after ovulation which i heard can give a bunch of side effects also.

I take my last pill tomorrow night. I get most of my symptoms after ovulation

I was irritable up until I finished the tablets, and a bit dizzy and headachey. I'm now on cd19 and have had cramping on and off for a couple of weeks but not really much else - hopefully nothing yet to come but we'll see...I am on my first cycle of 50mg clomid.
I'm glad I haven't gone too crazy emotional like you ladies say you have - but I may have bitten DH's head off a few times...oops. Okay, maybe I was a bit of a nightmare initially ☺️

I wish I was cd 19 that's when I have been ovulating. I get very vivid dreams and nightmares around ovulation

 

[heychrissie]

Does anybody else feel exhausted from clomid? I'm cd20 and feel drained and awful 😔

Yes it is horrible. I have to have multiple naps a day.

 

[swimmyj1]

Well im 2dpo now, i think my only symptoms now is I've been a little depressed. idk if its just because I feel like I'm out this month already or what. I found out my DH has not been taking his supplements as regularly as he should have been .... I found like 2 weeks worth in a bag in his tool shed. Just made me feel very one sided in this TTC.

Don't love the vaginal progesterone lol its very ... messy I'm still going to temp just to keep the habit but I won't really pay attention much to the temps sense progesterone throws it way off.

Hopefully my 5 day kayaking trip puts me in a better mood.

I am sorry you are having a rough month. I hope it gets better for you.

Thanks Emilie, it's nice having people to vent to who understand. have you guys ever heard of guys being put on clomid to help their swimmers??

 

[heychrissie]

I read about it the other day on the Internet, but not before that. Sorry your month feels a bit rubbish, you're not out yet!

 

[EmilieBrianne]

Thanks Emilie, it's nice having people to vent to who understand. have you guys ever heard of guys being put on clomid to help their swimmers??

I heard it can help boost testosterone. So I guess if low testosterone is the reason his swimmers are low it could help. I am supposed to ovulate Sunday I hope I make it that long because that would be the best timing for me. I know I need to vent and my friends don't understand at all what I am going through.

 

[heychrissie]

Cd21 test says I definitely ovulated, tested on cd26 and bfn. Pretty sure I'm definitely out.

 

[HopefullyOpto]

Hey everyone! So its cd15 for me and no ovulation as of yet, im a little bummed out about it as i dont feel i have any signs of impending ovulation. This is the first cycle and im on 50mg so i know that i can get a higher dose i just dont want to go through a provera withdrawal once again. Anyway sorry for being a little whiny.

What Cd did you guys all ovulate?

How is everyone doing?

I take 50mg pills CD 5-9 and I ovulate CD 19 and get no signs until the day before. So you are not out yet.
