trying to conceive anybody ever use clomid?

meganp1189

I have pcos ...Well I have been TTC for a year now so I was put on metformin 1000mg and clomid 100 mg.

Started clomid on Nov 5 finished Nov 10

I believe I definitely ovulated however the ovulation test had showed positives for 8 days straight... Weird I don't know why.....

I believe I'm 10dpo around there I'm new to all this..

So as of two days ago November 22
I have so far got a yeast infection
Severe lower back pain
Cramping
Very sore nipples
Swollen breast
Weird bumps on my areolas
Diarrhea everyday
Nauseous every time I eat
And also my veins are getting very noticeable every where especially around the girls.

Did clomid cause all of this?
I honestly just don't believe that I could be pregnant being this is my first round of clomid.

Please any body who knows anything please let me know....

BTW..I did not temp at all during this

I've never been on it, but I hear clomid is a bitch. It can cause a bunch of crappy symptoms.

Are you being monitored by an RE? You should know if you have ovulated by ultrasound, not just using OPK's. After TTC for a year, you should be referred to an RE. I would def ask for a referral ASAP.

GL with your journey!

Every one of those side effects sounds like my normal post-ovulation (except for the yeast infection - but Clomid dries up mucous so perhaps it makes you more prone?).

Lots of OPK+'s are common with PCOS.

Clomid can be very dangerous to your health and reproductive goals (bursting cysts, thinned lining that embryos could never implant on, multiple follies creating a dangerous number of fetuses, or even not ovulating and not even  knowing it).

It is essential that you stop taking unmonitored Clomid and work with an RE who will take good care of you, test everything to make sure that PCOS is not the only cause of IF, and protect you.

Also, the only way to know if Clomid worked for you (and what DPO you are, and when to expect a period, and if it's safe to TTC with the number of mature follies you have, and whether you lining is thick enough to allow pregnancy, etc.) is to monitor your follicle development by ultrasound.

My symptoms with both Clomid and Femara cleared up within a day or two of finishing them up. No, these are not caused by the drugs.

You would know if and when you ovulated if you were being monitored by an RE through ultrasounds and blood work. 

Agree with everyone else, see an RE and stop taking fertility drugs unmonitored. You won't have so many unanswered questions or be so misinformed if you were under an RE's care.

Here's the deal: we are not your personal google. If you plan to hang around here, cool. Do a proper intro instead of just rattling off symptoms and hoping to be told you are KU. Because that is exactly what this seems like, to me. A round about way of asking if we think you're KU by asking if pregnancy-like symptoms could be a result of a fertility medication you took weeks ago. The only thing that will be able to tell you if the symptoms you are experiencing are the result of you being KU is a pregnancy test. If you have enough hCG in your system to cause symptoms, the test should be positive. Please don't let us know if it is. Head over to 1st Tri or your BMB.

I only scanned the OP and thought the same thing.
OP- listen to Ketchup and other pp about seeing an RE. Also, get a copy of "Taking Charge Of Your Fertility." Medicated cycles can cause issues with regard to temping, etc., but knowledge is power. Having a basic understanding of your fertility will help you immensly.

Exactly it was giving by obgyn

Use the quote button. We are aware it was an OBGYN, because an RE wouldn't be this negligent. Stop trying to be the next octomom and look out for your health....which starts with not asking a group of infertile strangers if you could be pregnant.

SND1231

See  a RE. I am so tired of seeing post after post about unmonitored fertility meds from strangers to this board. Come on.. if you can google your "pregnancy symptoms" then google taking fertility meds without monitoring and see what comes up. Stop posting crap about wondering if you are KU.

Hi, you shouldn't be taking clomid without being monitored. That's all I can really say. As for your symptoms, they could be caused by clomid, but they might not as well. An RE would answer these questions for you. GL. 

WishUponAChild

I saw this movie once where a guy had exactly all the symptoms you described and he was at a diner and then all of a sudden in the middle of his dinner an alien exploded from his stomach area! It was so sad... I even cried. I hope you don't have what he had.

meganp1189

First of all your wrong I wasn't asking you if I could be pregnant obiously I took a test and know I'm not pregnant I was asking for peoples in site who have used this medicine before so why don't you get a life and stop responding so rudely if you haven't used it don't respond at all OK point blank its not your concern I didn't ask you directly nor do I know you or care to know your ignorant personality so with that said go get laid ms uptight

I literally just LOL'd at this!!

@meganp1189 First off, yes all of these things COULD be symptoms of Clomid, they could also be TWW symptoms or symptoms of literally a million things! Most of the responses on here were concerning you not working with an RE while taking Clomid which is extremely important (as many on here, including myself, can attest to). 

I'm brand new on this board and carefully read the newbie blog and instructions before INTRODUCING myself. I'm taking the time to get to know and support all the ladies on here before I bombard them with questions. Every single one of your responses is on your own discussion which tells me that the relationship is pretty one sided....hence some of the "short" responses. READ this https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12200410/welcome-and-please-read-first-before-posting-newbie-blog#latest ASAP!!!! 

meganp1189

Not really one sided I'm new on here and haven't really spoken to anyone cause no one generally has anything nice to say first off yes I'm taking clomid prescribed by my gyn yes the ladies are right I have not seen a re but bare with me I'm new I simply went to my doctor had a bunch of blood work and ultrasounds and in the end she prescribed me clomid and metformin and set me a appt for dec 1st that was all I thought it was just to produce ovulation which I don't do on my own didn't know all the other stuff that came with it nor did she tell me these things she made it seem simple and yes shame on me for not researching but I guess I put my judgement in my doctors hands ..I know better next time.

meganp1189

OK I understand what your saying,however I am new to this and I was worried like I said on the other comment shame on me for not researching a med giving to me I know better next time. Its just been a horrible experience for me and every time I call the gyn all the nurse says is your fine we will follow up on your next appt Dec 1st. But I don't feel fine and I just wanted to know if anyone experienced this as well to put my mnlind at ease without feeling so worried. I went to the ER once since this started cause I was feeling terrible the only info I was giving was a dominate follicle in my right ovary I guess this is a cyst. But otherwise they say nothing is wrong.

First of all, you're wrong right. I wasn't asking you if I could be pregnant: I took a test and obviously, know I'm not pregnant I don't want to believe it. I was pretending to asking for people's in site insight, who have used this medicine unmonitored clomid before, so why don't you get a life and stop responding so rudely? If you haven't used it, don't respond at all, okay? Point blank, it's not your concern and I didn't ask you directly nor do I know you or care to know your ignorant personality want to control people's responses on an open Internet forum. So, with that said, go get laid ms uptight thank you for all your help, ladies. Have a wonderful day!

Edit: had to fix my own punctuation. Shame.

Unfortunately you can't ask questions like this and then not expect people to get irritated. Also, you can't tell people how to respond to your question, rudely or not. And I have a life, thank you for your concern.

Honestly, you need to get to an RE. Forget those idiots. They are not properly taking care of you. Use the next appointment to ask for a referral. Yes, you may have to pay out of pocket, but it's not worth risking your health over. Seriously.

meganp1189

Thank you finally a comment from a decent person who is respectful yes I will ask for a referral and be done with this gyn.

You may want to use the quote button or tag whoever seems to be irritating you the most.  We're a very supportive community to those who lurk, introduce themselves and become a part of it.  Visiting three different forums on three different occasions isn't cool when you don't actively participate.  

All of us have full lives and hobbies so no need to worry about that.  I'm also pretty sure you can't tell someone to kill themselves without violating The Bump's TOU. 

 @Nariadreaming - Am I correct?

Pretty sure it's directed at me. I gave her a little snark. I also gave her some advice. OP, this is pretty distasteful. The 'R' word is never okay and suicide is not a joke.

Listen "sweat heart" ALL of this is beyond unacceptable!! If you are really having as hard a time as you are saying you should understand that everyone here has been through something equally bad (if not MUCH worse) than you! It is never ok to use the R word. And as someone who has lost both my brother and mother to suicide I find your "insult" heartbreaking! Shame on you!

This is not appropriate. In fact it is sick. I was happy with being funny and brush off the mild rudeness because you are "new".  What you need to understand is your audience. What happens in situations like this is you basically walked into a room of people and you were insensitive. That is pretty much it. Insensitivity sucks and we don't like it. We don't like it when it comes to our safe place.

This is our safe place and you kind of barged in here and made it a little less safe.

You can chose to learn from this or you can not. It is up to you.

Only you can prevent yourself from being a douche canoe.

Good luck.

Let it go, @wishuponachild .. OP was banned. While what she said in response to PPs was disturbing and hurtful, there is no sense in getting yourself worked up at this point. Take off your heels and go pour yourself a glass of wine. Another troll down. 

I'm stuck in here.... I saw she got banned after I posted. Computer is lagging and doing odd things. I think it is fixed. Thanks Ketchup
