Clomid Day 1
Well, today is the day! After my shower this morning, I sat down to completely read the info sheet that came with my 5 precious Clomid pills. Yes, I read the info sheet. You should always read the instructions before you begin anything. After reading all the crazy side effects I swallowed down pill #1. I did not immediately turn into a Clomid Crazy. I did not immediately begin having hot flashes. I have not yet had any strange urges to vomit. Nor have I had any swelling or shortness of breath. So I'm good, right? Actually, I was kind of let down after taking my pill. I'm not sure what I expected. Maybe to feel the egg growing in my ovary...some sort of sign that the medicine is working. But nothing. However, I have heard/read that Clomid takes awhile to build up in your system and that some effects can take place after you have finished your 5 day round. Maybe I'm just saving up and will be the worse Clomid Crazy ever. Unfortunately, I will be back at work and my co-workers will have to deal with me. Oh well, too bad for them!

Hi, I am a new follower of your blog and just wanted to offer up some reassurance - I have been on Clomid for a long time (since Feb.2010) and have not once had any side effects from the meds. The first time I had an HCG trigger shot, I had no side effects - but, my mid cycle scans show mature follicles. Good luck, hope this works for you!
ReplyDeleteI used to get the Clomid crazies, but not so much this time. It does, however, give me many false preggo symptoms which drive me nuts. I hope we both get our BFP's this time!!
ReplyDeleteI never felt anything on Clomid, so hopefully you don't have any side effects! With 50 mgs, your body really shouldn't notice much of a change in hormones... I only noticed side effects on 200 mgs. The only thing it did do each time I took it (5 months) is push out my ovulation date... I was used to ovulating on CD14-16, and Clomid made me O closer to CD 19-22. Good luck!
