I am 28 with two children (all natural, birth and all). Had tubes tied then reversed. Been trying naturally for 1 year. Now I am on my third month of clomid. I have grown to love the hot flashes because I am very cold natured. I have very light cramping when I ovulate. The mood swings I used to have and terrible cramping during my periods have vanished. The worst drawback has been the 10 - 15 lbs. gained. Has someone else gained weight or felt like eating the whole time? I am 5'3'' with a normal wt of 110 lbs. I am going to have to get a new blasted ward drobe. Tomorrow I will be late if I do not start, but I realize God is the one in COMPLETE CONTROL. PRAY FOR US. Audrey This is my first month on Clomid. My Dr. prescribed 50MG day 3-7. I am scheduled to talk to him tomorrow about my day 12 blood test, but am so frustrated because I thought FOR SURE it worked. I had breast tenderness so bad, nausea and was so sleepy the last few days, however today I had spotting and I think I am starting my period on day 24 (which is totally NOT normal for me!) - I am wondering if maybe it did work, but I wasn't able to keep it or whether these symptoms are normal. I am wondering if most people have these symptoms WHILE they are actually physically taking the medication or throughout the cycle? My symptoms didn't start until after I ovulated (according to my test kit). - kat Hi Kat
So yes this is normal.
My husband had a very successful varicocelectomy last November - sperm count went from 9 m to 39 m - and we thought that would be the end of the story - but still no pg. FSH/LH levels checked out OK, but progesterone is low. Gyno suggested Clomid. Finished 1st round at 50 mg this month - we'll see what happens. No real side effects except for high degree of emotion (increased by sadness over my mom's sudden death in September). Very slight feelings of heat - not a hot flash. Keeping fingers crossed for eventual success - have wanted to be a mom since I can remember. Hubby also would love to be a dad! Sending best wishes to everyone out there TTC! Jennifer In the past year and a half my husband and I have had 2 miscarriages. Each time we were pregnant it happened right after I had stopped taking the pill, and they were both surprises that had a sad ending. When we actually started trying we were not successful. My obgyn told us that I have LPD, so we are now in our first month of Clomid usage. So far I have not had any severe side effects, but I have had headaches and some spotted vision. I have been very nauseated yesterday and today. I am on day 21 of my cycle, so I am not sure if it is good news or not. I have had more obvious signs of pregnancy in the past, and I am too afraid to get my hopes up. It was so nice to read everyone’s story. I am the only person I know going through this struggle at the moment, so it is very comforting to hear how everyone else is coping. I wish you all the best as you try to conceive. Jamie 4th month on clomid 50 mg and loathing it - hot flushes about every half hour from days 7 to 15, and an almost continuous and quite severe headaches for the last 10 days of my cycle. It must have been a bloke who invented it! Good luck to everyone. Nic, in Australia. Hi. My name is Anna Johnson. I’m 26 and my husband is 29. We’ve been ttc #1 for 7 months. I’m on my first round of Clomid with 50mg. My period is due Jan. 16, 2004. My side effects w/ clomid are hot flashes at night, bloated, pain in my uterus, water retention, acne, and fatigue. Today I had really sharp pain in my uterus. I’ve never had cramps w/ my period before so I’m not sure what it was. Maybe I’m pregnant. I hope!! I could barely walk. Thanks for this great website. Sincerely, Anna Ttc#1 cd#26 I have a beautiful 3 year old thanks to Clomid. I started taking Clomid 50m when i was 23 and it worked instantly I was pregnant on the 2nd attempt. I had periodically experienced hot flashes but not as bad as what I heard, however i did experience really bad abdominal pain, which ceased after the 2nd month but boy were they bad. I'm now 26 and currently taking my second month of Clomid and nothing yet. I guess I have to increase my dosage. Wish me luck !! Hi, I am now 29 yrs old. I have had two beautiful children with the help of Clomid. I have never had a regular period because of polysystic ovaries. With my first child I got pregnant the first month and with my second child I got pregnant the second month. The second pregnancy started off with two sacks unfortunately one did not develop, there is however a history of twins in my husbands side. We are planning our third child, I have just finished my course of provera to bring on my period and then start my clomid. This is my first month with clomid. My husband and I have been trying for 18 months but my 40 day cycle hasn't been an easy one to work around. Yesterday was my last day of clomid (50mg) and I have had severe hot flashes. It was 14 degrees out last night and I had the window open, the heat turned down, and I slept without covers. I am a teacher and all the students were frozen today because I kept turning the heat down. I think tomorrow I will wear a summer dress! On the first day of taking clomid I experienced nausea and throw up for awhile. This happened about 12 hours after taking the pill. I haven't had this happen again but I am a little dizzy. I hope I don't have to take this for to long and I am a little nervous about some of the side effects others of you have had! It is scary but it will all be worth it if I get to hold a baby in my arms! Rebecca I took three rounds of Clomid and the side effects made my nervous. They started out were I could handle it. The first month just severe head aches and some nausea. By the third round I had nausea, dizzyness, bloating, tenderness of lower abdomen, drowsyness and blurred vision. Needless to say I quit and am leaving it in the hands of God My experience wtih clomid I lost my right ovary to a life threatening 3 pound ovarian cyst in 1999. So...we only had 1 ovary left. We had been ttc for about 3 months but my cycles were very irregular. Doctor believed I wasn't ovulating. I was also quite heavy at the time. He gave me the 50mg dosage of Clomid to take Day 3-7 and told me not to get my hopes up. I didn't...but after some blood tests and my progesterone level spiking... we were hopeful. I took a pg test and lo and behold...it was positive. Two days later I took another one...and still positive. Our precious daughter will be 3 in February. (yay!) We are now ttc #2. My cycles are really irregular again even though I've lost quite a bit of weight... so my doctor will most likely give me another dose of Clomid. We hope and pray that it works as well this time as it did the first. Looking forward to our next beautiful blessing! Maralee I have been on clomid for three months now. Does anyone eles get a lot of pelvic cramping. I notice it more after the 10th day of my cycle. It also is uncomfortable to have sex with my husband, I have noticed a lot of pressure in my pelvic region. I am also extremely bloated. MY abdominal area has doubled since I started the clomid. I have a large pouch where my stomach once was. T Hi...My name is Lisa and my husband and I have been trying, on Clomid, to conceive for four months now. Side effects for me have been ringing in the ears, heart palpitations and headaches on days five and six on each cycle. I have also had some mild abdominal pain (shooting pains) and also, It seems I can feel my ovaries at all times during the month.. I almost wonder if I have the enlarged ovaries that is a common side effect to this medication. Good luck to all. HI IM A 30 YR OLD LIVING IN UK.
