Acne as a s/e of clomid and trigger?

Curious if anyone had insane acne after clomid and trigger? Granted I've had crappy skin for the last 20 years but this is something else... my chin looks like a burned cheese pizza.  Oh so attractive :-(

Re: Acne as a s/e of clomid and trigger?

  • I'm doing 50mg Clomid and ovidrel trigger and I believe it's the trigger that makes me break out. I hate it because I have perfect skin always and then I take the trigger and I'm a pimple face! :( stupid IF.

  • I haven't been able to pin down if it is the trigger or the progesterone but so far without fail a couple days into the 2WW my face explodes then goes back to "normal" after AF.  Bloated and broken out is a great way to be for 2 weeks.

  • Yes!!! Not the trigger for me- but Clomid makes me break out like a teenager!

  • Thank you for posting this. My face is awful this cycle. I think it was last but I was under so much stress, I didn't attribute it to the Clomid. This time around I definitely am blaming it on the Clomid! LOl

  • So sorry others are dealing with this too.  As if IF is not enough, I now feel like I want to wear a paper bag over my face.

  • Oh no!  The PCOS already gives me terrible acne!  Just one more thing to look forward to I guess...
