Needs your thoughts/opinions

So I started Clomid on fri night. Today I couldn't see out of my left eye. It was wierd. It was like I was seeing a rainbow of black and clear spots. I don't know, I can't explain it. I called the doc and they told me to stop the pill and go in tomorrow.

Only thing is I had dance practice all day (12-730) so could this have been from maybe being dehydrated or do you think it was from the pill?

Should I not take it anymore? What would you do?

Re: Needs your thoughts/opinions

ive had this before. its called an ocular migraine. i used to get it once or twice a year when i was on BCP. it could def be related to clomid since one of the side effects is headaches/migraines. anything that can cause a regular migraine can cause an ocular migraine. generally for me they lasted about 20-30 minutes of blurred vision in one or both eyes. after it went away it was followed by a headache or migraine. theres nothing you can really do for them other than advil or whatever you would normally take for headaches. the first time i had one i freaked out and thought that i was having a stroke, it was super scary. i went right to the eye doctor who confirmed what it was and after googling it, that's DEF what it was (your description of the rainbow seems DEAD on for it). i had several since then but havent had any since stopping BCP 2 years ago.

in this case please google ocular migraines. youll find that its really nothing to be concerned about as far as damage or long term issues - like a migraine its just an annoying thing that comes and goes. feel better
