clomid & follistim side effects

took clomid and follistim sun, mon, and tues.
just follistim weds and tonight.

i feel dizzy/woozy.
not really hungry. no desire to eat.
and a dry patch on my face around my nose and mouth. like when you blow your nose too much? or when DH has stubble and you have been kissing.
also can cry at the drop of the hat. really sad.

the crying seems normal based on what is see on-line.

I never had side effects from follistim, but when I took clomid I felt a bit emotional and sometimes I'd get a hot flash.

I have never taken follistim, but I have taken clomid. I had dizzy spells, felt really tired all the time and talk about emotional!!  THose fertility drugs are powerful things, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if all your symptoms are a result of them.  Hopefully your body adjusts and they go away soon. However, if you are at all worried about them, give your Dr. a call.  Good luck to you!!
