Clomid

[rugbywife]

I don't know if it is helping me to ovulate yet but it is doing something. My skin is brutal, and it's a low dose, two days in. Lovely! (But worth it)

[rugbywife]

Crap. Auto correct. Clomid.

[changedname]

haha, I was going to say, wtf is clonus? I didn't take clomid (femara) but I have heard it has some pretty strong side effects - hope this is all you need!

[G22]

Lol I came in to see what "clonus" was. I'm on Femara like iced, but I have heard of some brutal side effects with clomid. I hope that where yours stop!

(my autocorrect just changed it to clonus too! Haha)

I just took dose #5 this morning of 50mg Clomid and have been side effect free thus far. I have had a very mild headache on and off but this is also somewhat normal for me so I can't tell if it is because of the Clomid or not. I have heard of brutal side effects and was fully prepared to experience some of them but have been very lucky thus far, I know I am not out of the woods yet though.

I finished mine on Monday, but I am still having hot flashes like crazy!

[rugbywife]

k, no hot flashes but I *think* I am less hungry - in which case I want to take this shit forever because I am down like 2lbs in a week, lol.

My first Clomid cycle was brutal. Did anybody feel super nauseous in the morning? Also, I felt super duper bitchy. I am not sure if this was the Clomid, or just that I am a bitch. lol.

not bitchy but I have had a hard time reasoning. Something happened at work yesterday that really pissed me off and I have had a hard time trying to convince myself to deal with it intelligently, lol.

No nausea, but very easily irritated. And I couldn't control it or rationalize out of it.  Sorry H!

I got a bout of nausea one day while I was lifting weights while taking it but that was the only time. I haven't had any noticeable mood swings/bitchyness either. I was at work last night and at about 230 this morning had some awful sharp pains on the L side of my lower abdomen and was terrified that I have developed cysts but haven't had any pain since and I attribute it to holding my bladder for a really long time last night (what you read about nurses not peeing for 12 hours really is true).

I also had zero side effects on the 50mg dosage. After round 1, the doctor doubled the dose and I definitely experienced all the fun of clomid then

[rugbywife]

I am only on 25mg I think (half a pill).

I can only imagine what my skin will look like if they go out to 50g, or higher.

I am very interested to see 'what's inside of me' on Tuesday. I wonder if it has done anything at all.

[KaraOrNot]

The variety of dosages is interesting to me. This was my first time using it and they started me on 100mg.

[rugbywife]

I apparently do ovulate, since I randomly got pregnant last cycle. I just don't ovulate consistently or following any pattern.

This is me as well. Our diagnosis is officially MF but I have really irregular cycles and I am fairly certain that some are anovulatory.

[linz]

Hmm my face never got worse with it. I did 2 cycles of 50 and 1 cycle of 100. Get ready for hot flashes. That's my only side affect and I swear I still have them!
