i have had 3 previous cycles with clomid and have had zero side effects. This month I am serverly and uncomfortably bloated. Has anyone experienced this? I was going to try some gas-x. Anyone have suggestions or advice?
Thanks,
Carrie

    Sorry about the icky clomid side effects. My only problem with it was severe headaches, usually all night and into the morning. How long are you taking it for? I know after my 5 pills, the side effects were gone immediately. Good luck!

    For me it seemed that the Clomid s/e got worse with each progressive cycle. I found that taking it before bed helped some. FX this is your cycle and you won't have to deal with nasty Clomid anymore!
