TTC after 35

Clomid anyone??

edited June 2014 in TTC after 35
I'm starting my first round of clomid next month and I'm excited but yet nervous about side affects. Any advice?

Re: Clomid anyone??

  • I just finished my 5 days of clomid 3 days ago....and while I was taking the meds I didn't feel anything but in the last 3 days I have been very cranky and moody and extremely HOT....like I can feel the heat radiating from my thighs. My hairdresser was cutting my hair this evening and she said she could feel the heat coming from my body. Hopefully I am responding to the meds...fx....good luck

  • I'm starting my 5 days of Clomid today. I'm also nervous, but hoping it's not too bad. I'll let you know if I find out anything helpful this week.

  • Lurker here,  I did two rounds of clomid.  Very moody with it!!  The moodiness can last after you are done with the 5 days of taking it, so don't let that surprise you.  If you go into it knowing your going to be moody then it may be easier to control

  • I start mine next month. I have read about the hot flashes. I just want it to work for the first cycle because I tested this month and got a positive ovulation test and didn't try. Good luck to you.
  • no experience but good luck!

    There shouldn't be any reason to worry unless you have not had the necessary testing and monitoring done.  HCG, Day 3 testing, SA etc....    CLomid has a 6x lifetime max usage and can cause serious lining issues as well as cysts  so proper monitoring is key!

    good luck!
