I feel awful. I'm in my first cycle of medications and I am weepy and bloated and miserable. Feels like I am losing my mind and it's just hard to focus on the end goal.
It does get easier as your body adjusts to the meds. By that time you will be pregnant so you get the pregnancy hormones that make you bloated and weepy.
Chamel, I start menopur soon too. I hope it gets better for you! I took clomid before and the side effects sucked. What made it even worse is the clomid didn't work for me.

I had similar symptoms on Clomid. I had several symptoms on Clomid. I have moved to injectables and the symptoms are only the emotional part, no physical symptoms. The injectables are much better symptom wise for me. I have more irritating symptoms with the trigger shot and the progesterone than the FSH injectables. I'm sorry you are having a hard time. Try to find some quiet time for yourself so you can rest your mind. That helps me, even if it's only 15-30 minutes of just down time. Finding someone to talk out your emotions with helps as well. Good luck!
