What cycle of Clomid are you on?? any side effects?

Hello everyone I think that this form will be very helpful for all that are on Clomid or that will start Clomid soon.

Let me start by saying that I have PCOS and I have 11 year old daughter I have been TTC on and off the last 7 years but since I been married a year ago we been trying faithfully. I was on Clomid in Nov. 2009 I was taking 50mg 3-7cd I was told that I didnt O on this round and that I would need to go up on my next round. Dec came and went no AF so went in to see if I was Pergo but no I was not so they put me on provrea then Clomid on 3-7 100mg. I am now on my 3 and last round of Clomid I am on 150mg 3-7 days and I hope that this time I O because on my last round they told me I O early on cd 15 I have never O in 11 years so that was a good thing. But doc said that the numbers where not where he wanted them to be at so that is why he up my clomid this time.
As for side effects on 50mg I had mood swings and hot flashes and the wonderful headaches... On 100mg I thank god I did not have any but did have crazy dreams with them. And with 150mg I had the vision problems. I just hope that this time works.
Would love to hear your stories on Clomid and hear how long before you got your BFP on Clomid...

lin_z_ttc1: I hope all is well with you! AND I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU WITH THE AC UNIT! So I said not to turn on the AC in the house because my dogs and my hubby are freezing! So at night, I put the AC unit on right directly on me..with the ceiling fan! no cover on me..but poor hubby is laying in bed with a big winter blanket on! I can only imagin how things will be if I am this hot right now! oh no!

Well today 22 days out from my LMP. (I dont know what the difference between DPO,TWW, and all that). The bleeding/spotting has stoped, and now I am just getting some cramps that come and go and some lower pain pain. This morning I got up at 3:40 am, and coudln't get back to sleep. So I cleaned the house. When I went back to lay down, and got up at 6:30 I had a rush of nausea. So not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
During the bleeding/spotting that I had a couple of days ago, I called the doc office and they gave me some 28 pills of Provera. TO STOP THE BLEEDING. Which I didn't take cause I stop bleeding like an hour after I saw it. So not sure what to take about that. I am just keeping my sprit high and being healthy. I have this headach that isn't going away but oh well. SIDE EFFECTS? Maybe? I think so..but we will see..what do yall think???

Happy Friday to ALL! SSBD!

Good luck with your testing. I think you are preggers :). I'm sending good thoughts your way :)

kcalihan sorry you didn't O this month but at least you are getting help now :)

hope everyone is doing well that is on the tww or got a + opk or doing ok on clomid :). Looking forward to hearing some bfp soon :)

I'm on cd 12 but will wait a few days to test since I o late last month. But boy these hot flashes hit me after I finish clomid. But I'll take it if it leads to a bfp :)

happy Friday everyone!!!

Jenna: I experienced back pain and cramping pretty much the whole cycle, it was awful. I recommend hot baths, and tylenol which is ttc and preg safe.

Rain: OMG those hot flashes are a nightmare! And I'm finding out they stick around during pregnancy too! I've been freezing DH out at night with a window unit blowing directly on the bed hahaha.

Sherry: I'm soo excited for you and hope that beta comes back with some high numbers!

kcallihan: I'm sorry that this cycle was a bust for you. If its any consolation, my first cycle of 50mg didn't do it for me either. Even when they bumped it to 100mg it took 4 cycles to get the BFP. Just know that if your cycles start regulating, and your progesterone increases with every dose, than you are getting CLOSE :0)

******************GOOD LUCK EVERYONE SSBD TO ALL OF YOU*************************

Just got bad news from the Dr's office.  Went in Wed. for my CD 21 blood work.  The nurse called me today and said that I had not Od this month.  So I will go up to 100mg of Clomid next cycle.  So discouraging because I thought for sure this was it.  But somewhat relieved because now I know what the hold up is and hopefully we can correct it.  Wish I wouldn't have waited so long to go to the Dr. now.  We have been ttc for 3 years and I waited till now to go to the Dr.  :(  Hopefully next cycle I will get my BFP!

This tww is killing me!!  I broke down and took an hpt at 7dpo ~ BFN! LOL  Hopefully this second week goes much faster than the first!!  Thankfully, my sister graduates and my brothers are both home, so it probably will go fast!

Owl ~ are your headaches getting any better?  I hope so!

Have a Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone!!!
