Clomid questions

[Bernadine]

How long did your side effects last?  And if you took it more than one cycle, were the side effects stronger with additional cycles?

Brought to you by me crying after finding out h poured out the iced tea I was going to drink.

I did 3 cycles of Clomid. Side effects were bad from when I took the pills through ovulation. I don't know if they were stronger, but I had different reactions each time.

I had different side effects each time, but I also did 3 months at different doses before I had to stop taking it because I developed a mammoth cyst.

My main side effect was severe headaches. They were dose dependent--increase the clomid, worse the headache. They typically went away a few days after stopping the med.

I noticed the side effects increased with each cycle. I actually told my doctor no when he suggested a 6th round of it because I couldn't take another cycle. Injectibles were so much easier for me to handle.

I had hot flashes and headaches. The side effects stopped after I O'd.

I only did 2 cycles, but yes, the 2nd was a bajillion times worse than the first. I can't even remember what happened (I think I blocked it out), but one night involved me screaming into a pillow and then sobbing hysterically in bed with DH sitting next to me like "WTF??" and I remember covering my face out of embarrassment and saying "I just need a minute" and then falling asleep.

I know the dogs tracking dirt on the carpet was part of it, but I know (hope...? lol) there was more to it. And anyone knows me knows that I am so not a clean freak, and normally them tracking in dirt wouldn't get more of an eyeroll and muttering "assholes." from me. lol

Oh, and the strongest symptoms for me were right at ovulation, and then they tapered off relatively quickly.
