Backache on Clomid

Has anyone ever experienced horrible lower back pain on clomid? Any clue what this could be...hopefully not overstimulation! I'm on 100mg, FYI ;)
Thanks ladies! I know if anyone will know, it's you guys!

Re: Backache on Clomid

  • I always get lower back cramps on Clomid (four months running, same dose). It almost feels like I have to go to the bathroom really badly and usually lasts a day or two each month. I would still check with your doctor, but as long as you are being monitored, (I had ultrasounds twice a month) it is a side effect that happens, so I wouldn't freak out. 

    My doctor suggested Tylenol for any cramping, and the headaches that I get (since Advil and aspirin are no good for TTC). Hope that the cramps pass quickly for you!

  • Thank you so much! I go in Monday for my follicle check so I will try to relax until then. I just have this vision of these giant, follicle filled ovaries on the verge of turning on themselves ;)
