Does Clomid make you tired?

schoolsoutbride

My sleep has been all F----ed up by the progesterone.  I sleep like the dead on it and then have insomnia for about a week when I get off of it.  

About when I was starting to get over it this month, I took my first Clomid dose. I was again the walking dead.  Was I just tired, or was it the Clomid?  

I took it around noon yesterday, but I have a wedding to go to tonight and might hold off a little later if it's going to wipe me out like that.  (Unless it's bad to take it at different times of the day.  I'd just switch to taking it at night)

i never had the tired symptoms, but i also took it at night. i was tired though because of the hot flashes i couldn't sleep through the night.

I find it all makes me tired.  The clomid, the provera, the crack of dawn monitoring, the night sweats, the emotional aspect of it.  I think it's a combination of everything IF.

Try to sneak in an afternoon nap :-)

On this most recent dose (100mg), I was extremely exhausted while on the pills. As soon as I was off the pills, I couldn't sleep for about 3 nights. My understanding is fatigue and insomnia can both be side effects.

I've never been tired on any of the IF meds I've taken.

I know low iron levels and/or insulin resistance can initiate fatigue... have you had labs to check on either of those recently?

GL - hope you feel better soon. If you can, sleep in tomorrow. Saturday naps always make me feel better. Take care.

I couln't have said it better myself. The follistim gives me insomnia.  I always took my Clomid at night and didn't notice any additional tiredness.

No, but that's a good idea.

Yes. I took it at night, but, on the 5 days I was on it, I would get soooooo sleepy around 2:00 every afternoon.
