Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

I will be taking it CD5-9...Any tips? I have read to take it at night - is that true? TIA!

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

I am on my second cycle of clomid now and I take it at nite- I do have hot flashes and some vaginal dryness- but we use preseed to help with that other than that around day 14 this month I got wicked pains. And now in 2ww and just seeing where we end up good luck to you

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

I got my BFP on 3rd month of clomid!! Believe in it.. It will work.
I tried for a year with out it for our 2nd child.
I took 50 mg months 1 and 2. Month 3 I took 100 mg.
Take it at night. I had horrific pains during ovulation time that I went to the hospital.. but its just the clomid enlarging your ovaries so hang in there with it. I also had a terrible lingering headache days 1 and 2. I could actually feel myself ovulating on it-- pretty cool.
Best of luck and lots of baby dust

Also... I ovulated 3 days later than usual on it.

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

I just finished my first cycle on it days 3-7. It wasnt bad at all. I took it at night- One day I had hot flashes but nothing CRAZY.

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

I got my BFP my 1st month with clomid so Im a big fan LOL

i really didnt have any side effects that stood out in my mind - I think I had ONE day of depression, but nothing terrible

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

I am in my first cycle - near the end I think but who knows. I took it days 3-7 - I too took it at night, but didn't notice much in the way of symptoms other than a lot of pains now and then around the ovaries - nothing too terrible. I was really hot in my sleep a lot, but that's actually pretty normal for me so I don't think it was hot flashes - just warmer temps in the apartment

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

I take it in the afternoon. I was woried about the side effects----even warned DH that they may make me crazy or emotional (he said, so basically you'll be the same as always! ).

The pills made me very sleepy but aside from that, no other side effects for me. Today is my last pill and this is my 3rd cycle.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

The side effects for me lasted about 2 weeks AFTER I finished the meds. I was surprised that all of the awful effects I had read about hadn't affected me, but they definitely came.

I was very emotional and kinda psycho. I was very dizzy and had headaches. Also, vaginal dryness...

I think my case is on the extreme side, though because many women don't have these effects.

It didn't work from me my first cycle (50mg) because it didn't help me produce any eggs. I never took it again after that because it made me feel so, so horrible.

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

Thanks everyone! Hopefully I don't have any bad side effects and that it works the first time. I never thought trying for #2 would take so long.

To all!

This is my 2nd month using chlomid CD5-9 and I honestly didn't suffer from any of the side effects if I did I don't remember them or didn't relate them to the meds. I also took them at night just because it was easier for me to take them at the same time each day. I am glad to read that it works best at night!

Were you able to take medicine for the headaches? And what about the stomache ache? You didn't just have to suffer through the pain, did you or can't you mix any other meds with clomid?
I have my clomid sitting right here & I'm scared to take it next month.

Re: Clomid, Here I Come...Any Tips?

Just finished my clomid cycle last week and really had no side effects. I was looking for them but nothing thank God. The first day I took it the next morning I had a slight headache but took excedrin and it went away. I had a few hot flashes and was tired but nothing that I could not handle. Other than that it was not bad at all. Everyone has different side effects so you really have to tried it for yourself and see if it works for you. I was told to try and stay away from motrin when taking it other than that everything was good to go.
