Question about cramping and Clomid

timzwife · June 2011

My husband and I are on the second month of Clomid. On Thursday I was able to get a shot that would release my eggs. But now I am cramping. Can you tell when your ovulating? And is this the cramping I am feeling my eggs dropping? I am on day 17 of my cycle.

I have never been on meds (Clomid or trigger shot), but I know a lot of ladies experience ovulation pain. I rarely feel it, but from what I've heard on the board it feels like a sharp twinge or cramps. some last a couple days, some merely a few minutes. it's possible this is what you are feeling.

BUT you cannot feel an egg drop.....that'd be impossible, they are so small.

I haven't triggered yet, but from what I understand, women experience various side effects from it. The cramping you're feeling is probably just a result of all the hormones. Out of curiousity, what is your diagnosis?

Charting your temperatures is the only way to confirm ovulation. Most of us use FertilityFriend.com to chart our cycles. It's free and easy to use. You can sign up through any of our tickers. I also recommend checking out the Newbie link at the top of the board and lurking.

I experience cramping off and on throughout my cycle when I was on Clomid (the cycle was also unusually long).

I used injects but I did experience a bit of cramping after my trigger.

I feel crampy and so bloated after i trigger on clomid...

When did you take your trigger? I believe that triggers make you O 36 hours after taking them. So if it's been 24-48 hours since you took it, then it could be O pains. Or it could be random cramping that sometimes happens. If it gets worse call your doctor and/or mention it when you go in next. Good luck!
