I just finished my first round of clomid, 50 mg. Cd 5-9. My dr also has me on estrodial, progesterone + metphormin. We have been ttc for almost two years about two months ago i was told i had pcso. Ovulation was pretty painful , i go to my dr cd 21 for progesterone levels. My clomid side affects were terrible, hot flashes, awful headaches, mood swings.. but it gives diff side effects to diff woman.
Good luck to you. I knw ttc is very stressful when youve been tryin for a while keep the faith .

I just finished with my Clomid. I'm on CD14 and took it on days 3-7. I didn't have any bad side effects. I actually felt really good on it! It was weird. My CM did dry up so I used Pre-seed. Ovulation was pretty uncomfortable. I Think I O'd on Friday. Now it's just wait and see! Good luck to you and SSBD.

I am on my first round of clomid 50mg cd3-7...and am currently on cd 16.  I haven't felt any pain..in fact I haven't had any symptoms of ovulation at all...so am concerned I'm  not going to ovulate this month :(

I will go in for a blood test to check my progesterone level on cd21.  My doc hasn't said anything about U/S but has referred me to an ERI (my appointment is mid-december)  and am hoping he will be more involved and informative.

My side effects seem to be getting worse...mood swings, dreams and mad hot-flashes...ugh! But staying optimistic and hoping for the best!!!!

Good luck...keep me posted!
SSBD!

Hi honey ive just done 3 cycles on clomid adn had to get U/S on day 10 and 14 to check follicles also progesterone levels checked on day 28 with blood test.I had every know side effect possible and it was so bad i only lasted the 3 cycles.But hey dont let that put you off as we are all different and some ladies get no side effects at all.Im just one of these unlucky people ha ha.Drink more fluids on clomid and if you have trouble with your CM drying up then you can take ROBITUSSIN cough syrup with the onlt ingredient (gaufenesin) take 1 spoonful morning and night start when you take the last clomid pill and end as soon as you ovulate.It really helped me with my CM.Oh and drink a glass of grapefruit juice daily along with the cough syrup.Hope i was helpful hun SSBD Bev xx
