Are these pregnancy symptoms or Clomid

I have been ttc for 18 months without success. My periods were regular like clockwork and would always feel ovulation pain at exactly cd14 and cd15.My periods would start either cd28 or cd29. So i guess that i am ovulating.My doc told me that i should be actively trying for two years before they can even start testing me for anything. But i thought something should be wrong because my cycle is predictable. I even knew the time when my period would start, therefore i thought that when DH and i will ttc we will conceive instantly. I was wrong. So i read many posts on the website and decided to start clomid without prescription. I took clomid starting cd3-cd7(8/12/2010). Then Evening primrose oil(since i was no longer having cm coz of stressing i think) from cd5-cd16(10/12/2010). At cd14 and cd15 i felt so much pain (Ovulation Pain) though more than normal. Thought because of the clomid. Then the pain went away. At 7dpo i felt painful cramping on my left side again for almost 4 hours. Then also went away without medication. At 11dpo started feeling nausea and heartburn. 13 dpo cramping though dull like (not like when am expecting a period). The cramping was different. 14dpo started backache with cramping on and off. 15 dpo cramping and nausea. 16 dpo which is yesterday felt the urge to urinate frequently (after every 10 mins). From 10 dpo have been getting white lotion like discharge but yesterday at 16 dpo it became watery. So today at 17dpo am running to the bathroom all the time and feeling lightheaded with all the symptoms (nausea and cramping on and off).

I am scared of jinxing myself by testing too soon like i have done so many times in the past. But i have never had this symptoms before but am also thinking that they could be from Clomid. Since i ovulated at cd14 or cd15 i am 2-3 days late. Also could be from clomid.

Are these pregnancy symptoms or Clomid induced symptoms?

Unfortunately these symptoms could be pregnancy or AF.  To my knowledge clomid doesnt make you late.  I would take a first response early in the morning, never had a false positive or false negative for that matter with this test.  If you are 2-3 days late you should get an accurate result.  Good luck.

I am living in UAE n I can easily get clomid from the pharmacy.I went to several docs and they told to try for two yrs. DH was tested everything fine n my blood work done. For the other tests I kept making appointments at the docs but to no avail. So I decided to try out on my own for 3 cycles max with clomid. Its not really easy here to get a good doc. And also my insurance doesn't cover. So today at 18 dpo my cramps are exactly like what I have when my periods start but 5 hrs later still no AF. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I’m not sure how you started on clomid without a prescription since you have to have a Dr. prescribe it. Other than that has your DH been tested? As for fertility testing I've read you can start getting tests done after a year of ttc. If you do get AF you can always make an appointment with a fertility Dr. and go from there. I'm sorry to hear you struggle; I've been struggling for almost a year now. Good Luck with everything and keep us posted.

I tested with clear blue test and it was BFN. Am so disappointed. They should be accurate.
