Need Support (On Clomid)

Morning ladies. I just took my first Clomid last night and this morning I feel like absolute crap. I woke up with cramps so I hit snooze a few times. Then I stood up and felt like I was going to puke. That feeling has not gone away and I've been at work for 30 minutes now. On my way in this morning I started crying because I didn't like the song on the radio. Then my mom called and asked if I picked out the paint colors for her. I completely forgot about it and started crying. I think I caught her a little off guard. At first she was like, "honey, it's nothing to cry over." Then I explained what might be the real problem here.

Can someone please tell me this is going to get better?

Re: Need Support (On Clomid)

  • I'm sorry you're feeling this way.  I've definitely been there.  It WILL get better.  I was like this for all 4 rounds of clomid.  For me, it stopped about 5 days after my last pill.  Well, the emotional part of it stopped - I continued to have bad cramps. 

    Hang in there!

  • it will get better.  I had headaches and was moody after about my second or third pill.  We all metabolize and synthesize drugs differently which is why peoples reactions vary. I noticed it got better about 3 days after my last pill.  Hang in there.  I have a love/hate relationship with Clomid.

  • Clomid was tough for me, I am not going to lie...but hopefully it will work for you and that will be it, then you will not care about the crappy s/e!

    In the event your dr moves you to injectable meds, they do not have the emotional s/e of clomid, fyi....at least they never have for me. But I hope this works for you! GL!

  • It did get better for me, and I had very similar reactions, but they didn't go away until I'd finished the cycle.

    Strangely it only happened like that the first time I took it.  Subsequent cycles weren't as bad.

    The first time I took it, my puppy was just learning how to walk on a leash and I completely lost it with her on several occasions.   I think she could smell the difference in my hormones.

    It should get better. I hate clomid side effects!!
  • It will get better! I am on my 3rd round of clomid and I don't really have many s/e with it at all! I am only on 50mg though, how many are you on? I find that I cry easier on it, and that lasts till my cycle is over, and I get really bad O cramps but that is really about all.

    Hopefully you won't have to be on it for too long! GL!

  • I am on 50mg. Hopefully this will be the only round I'll have to take. I'm going to try and be strong. I just keep telling myself that it's all for a good cause. Thanks for the support ladies. I am super duper appreciative.
  • If it helps at all, I did get pg my first cycle using it! I am hoping that we have found the cause of my mc, and that this cycle will be our lucky one too! GL!
