CLOMID & HOT FLASHES!

Good morning ladies ;)  I posted this question on another forum, but I am STILL getting HOT FLASHES & I'm 3DPO & CD15.  My HOT FLASHES come & go, last less than a minute or so.
I've never been on clomid before, is this NORMAL to get hot flashes AFTER O?
I don't think I'll ever take clomid again, I had very little side effects, really just the HOT FLASHES, but I never knew FOR SURE when I O'd, which for me is WEIRD!
IF I do meds again, it will be injecebles!!!

AHHHHHH sorry about the BFN.  I too got one this month;(  But AF came for me ON TIME!!!!!!  LITERALLY @ midnight on my CD27 LOL  She really must love me!!!! lol
But I know the norm is after you take clomid, & no BFP you will USUALLY get AF several days later........but not me!  Ughhhhhhhhhhh

This was my first cycle of clomid. I went in on cd24 for bloodwork to check my progesterone levels.. I took clomid cd 3-7..  (50mgs)However, I had not had a period since April.. so we just randomly chose a day to call "day one". I used an opk and never had a second line at all until the 7th  test at which time I got a second line.. but it was lighter than the control line... My doctor was the one that told me what day to come for the test.. now I go on day 32 for a pregnancy test, if I don't get Af first..... so hard to keep track of all this stuff.. but worth it in the end I hope!!

did your doc. have you come in on a specific day after taking the Clomid to confirm you ovulated? My doc just said to chart my temps and haven't asked me to come in to get any bloodwork, I wish they would.
Did they tell you if you knew what day you O'd? This is my 2nd cycle on Clomid, the 3rd day (taking days 5-9, 50 mgs) Last time I think I ovulated around day 21,... stopped testing with the OPK on day 20 so I think I missed it,.. or that's what I'm hoping.

I took Clomid this last cycle and have had horrible hot flashes- before and after ovulation.  I also discovered my follicle never ruptured and turned into a large cyst.  I'm getting progesterone injections to shrink the cysts and I think they attribute to the hot flashes as well.

oops, I meant mt RE said a + on Thursday which was CD11, but I had my crampy ovary thingy on Tuesday & on Wednesday & thats it.  Normaly I O a few hours after I don't have O pain anymore, thats why I figure I O'd on Thursday MAYBE Friday????

Yeah, I think its strange too!  When I am preggo I get HOT but don't recall having them in my 2WW????
I did use OPK's which normally for me is ALWAYS spot on!  But when I went in @ 10DPO I had the big 22mm follie & a few others smaller my RE said I SHOULD get a + the next day (Friday) I didn't get a + til after I triggered.  Which is NOT reliable, cuz I ALWAYS get a + after a trigger (it's the HCG similar to LH)
So, we only bd'd 3x's in two days CD10 & CD11.  Just didn't work out this weekend, plus hubby has had a "bug" so oh well..........
HOPEFULLY a few spermies hung around & waited ;0)

I'm guessing the clomid is why I'm having hot flashes!!!

Your getting close!!!!!!!

I never got hot flashes with Clomid, but I was on the lowest dosage of 50mg.  Now this cycle I did the highest dosage of Femara - and boy-oh-boy did I get hot flashes!!

It's funny you post this, because I was just thinking about it.  I'm 9DPO and I swear I was just getting hot flashes while i was out running errands.  And I thought how odd to get hot flashes in the TWW.  The only thing I can possibly attribute it to, is if there were many eggs released and all their corpus luteums were producing progesterone, but IDK at 3DPO?

Did you use OPK's or anything to try to determine O?  I know when I was on Clomid (and Femara) it makes me O a few days later then I normally would.
