Clomid and spotting

Is spotting a normal side effect of Clomid (at 50mg dose)? I am just on day 2 and am spotting.

I did a quick google search but didn't find anything about it.

Do you still have AF? I know most women take clomid when they have AF. Maybe it can be AF still lingering.

Clomid Oral Side Effects
Stomach upset, bloating, abdominal/pelvic fullness, flushing ("hot flashes"), breast tenderness, headache, or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Vision changes (e.g., blurred vision, seeing spots or flashes) may sometimes occur during clomiphene treatment, especially if you are exposed to bright light. These side effects usually go away a few days or weeks after treatment is stopped. However, in rare cases, vision changes may be permanent. Tell your doctor immediately if any of the following occur: vision problems/changes, eye pain.

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: abnormal vaginal bleeding, mental/mood changes.

This medication may cause a condition known as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Rarely, serious OHSS causes fluid to suddenly build up in the stomach, chest, and heart area. This may occur during therapy or after treatment has been stopped. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of the following side effects: severe pain/swelling in the lower abdomen (pelvic) area, sudden/rapid weight gain, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, change in the amount of urine, pain/redness/swelling of the legs, chest pain, fast/irregular heartbeat.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

I'd call the doctor!

Yikes - thanks!

Re: Clomid and spotting

are you on day 2 of your cycle or 2 days after O? if it is the beginning of your cycle you should have AF while starting it.. let me know what the dr. says.. good luck

Re: Clomid and spotting

I'm on day 7 of my cycle and had just finished AF when I started the clomid (on day 5). The spotting started almost immediately - I took the first clomid in the a.m. and then by the evening, was spotting. It's tapering off now...and the dr said it was normal.

I don't take meds very often so I feel like I"m being hypersensitive to everything now that I'm taking this clomid. I don't feel "right" and the spotting freaked me out.

I'll say it again - who knew it could be so difficult to get PG??

Re: Clomid and spotting

i feel the same way.. i hate taking anything stronger than tylenol so starting the med. really makes me sensitive to everything. its hard to explain, but i just feel like i am completely in a fog and cant function like i am used to. it also makes me sooo tired... good luck and keep me posted!!

Re: Clomid and spotting
