Is it me... or ... is it the medicine?

[BabyBlue07]

Morning Ladies,

Lately I felt so cranky and have a nasty attitude toward my friends and family.  I started got **** off for no reason.  everything around me seem so irritate and annoying.  I got mad quickly and when I talked with attitude.  I was on clomid (CD3 - 7) and estradiol (8 - 12).  yesterday was my last 3 pills of estradiol.  I do not want to take this medicine for next month cycle because i felt myself changing and I knew it's change alot.  

Last night for no reason I got angry with my DH and gave him an attitude.  i knew he was not happy with this, but he said he understand the medicine did this to me.  

What do you think?  Medicine or me?  Any opinions, suggestions, comments, advise will do.

Thanks

I'm not sure about being moody on clomid but I certainly am weepy!  I also take mine clomid at bedtime.  The RE said it would lessen the side effects b/c I would be sleeping...good luck!

One of my friend's was on Clomid and her Dr told her ahead of time she would probably be moody and cranky. Luckily for her (or maybe her DH) she didn't get that way, but I guess it must be common if the Dr was warning her.

I totally agree, Im really cranky on clomid. I take it at night also but im still really cranky.. I made sure i read the side effects to my dh so he understood that it was the meds not me..((HUGS))

I was TERRIBLE when I took Clomid.
Its defitely the medicine..
The good news is that as soon as you stop taking it you get back to normal.

I have been taking clomis as well and I take mine at dinner time to avoid those nasty confrontations. And it is the meds.   everyone I know that has been on clomid has gone through the same thing. The solution that everyone gives is too take it at night.  Good Luck!

Honestly, I understand.  I suffered from VERY bad PMS.  There are months that are worse than others and poor DH is always the one who suffers the most from it.  We cannot control it and the only way I controlled it before was taking PMS OTC pills like Midol PMS.  They worked and took the edge off but when I started ttc I didn't want to take all of that stuff so it's even harder doing without them.  

Just remember, it's in our nature that we have waaaaay more hormones in our bodies than men and with the meds, it doesn't help.

HUGZ!

It's seem uncontrollable.  You knew it's happen, but you can't control it.  Just like someone control your mind and tell you what to say or what to do.  I was regret what I said to my DH and I knew instantly I shouldn't said it but then I can't control it.   I feel out of control right now.

Sorry about the mood swings but I've heard plenty of women complain of them when taking Clomid.  Some are lucky and don't get them but most do.

Good luck and try to be nice to DH :-)

Thanks for your advise.  If I decide take clomid next cycle, I will do it at night.  what about Estradiol?  I have to take twice a day each time is 3 tablets.  any suggestion on that?

It's the meds!!  My husband insists Clomid gave me Terret's!  HA!  I was a very cranky potty mouth!!!!  I started taking the Clomid at night and that really seemed to help with all of the side effects.
