Clomid sucks

[yellowbrkrd]

I have only been on it a few days and I have turned into a raging bitch, experienced horrible nausea and just had my first hot flash in public, which by the way, was pretty damn embarrassing. Ugh. I really hope this works.

GL. You can also request Femara, which I hear has lesser side effects.

Clomid was fine when I took it the first time. But then I started having anxiety flareups. The second time around I didn't even respond and proceeded to have an epic meltdown. Now I'm on Femara and it's been fine except I didn't respond too well and something is wrong with my E2 levels. Ahh screw these drugs. Good luck to you though, hang in there.

What do E2 levels tell you?

I don't really understand them to be honest but they're supposed to be 200 for every mature follicle. Today mine was only 20 and I had one mature follicle so I don't know what the heck is going on.

Oh man, that sucks! I'm sorry. All of the testing, waiting, good news, bad news, more waiting just blows. I really hope you have progress soon.

Thanks, I hope you do too.

Ugh, sorry to hear about that. I had no side effects from clomid but the progesterone supps kill me. I'm a raging bitch on them.

I've heard that about Clomid - I'm using Femara, no side effects for me. Maybe try that if Clomid doesn't do the trick this cycle? Here's hoping you don't need to!

I am sorry you are having all those side affects. I had a similar experience on clomid - I turned into satan when I took it. I took it for two months and the second month worked!

I'm sorry you have all those side effects. I took it and never really had any issues-I only went to 150 though. Good luck though--hopefully you won't have to take it again!
