Infertility

Is it weird....

that I'm craving broccoli?! I packed my lunch today and then drove 10 minutes across town to the chinese place because I HAD to have broccoli!

 On a more serious note, does anyone here have any experience with 40mg of Tamoxifen five days out your cycle? I had no luck with clomid and this was my first cycle on 20mg of tamoxifen. I had a low progesterone level, 6.9, but it was checked at only 3 dpo. My RE is increasing my dosage to 40mg for my next cycle. The 20mg made me a complete witch! I'm afraid to see what the 40mg does. Other than that, I have no other side effects. I am thankful for that.

Re: Is it weird....

  • I can answer none of your questions, but if you want broccoli, I say, go for it! :-) It's full of fiber, potassium and B6! Good for you, so can't do any harm! Wishing you best of luck and by all means, eat the broccoli if your body is telling you to! :-)

     

  • I wished I craved broccoli instead of the chocolate I am craving right now!

  • I never made it to 40mg. I did one cycle at 20mg and two at 30mg before getting my BFP. Unfortunately, we lost that pregnancy and moved on to the RE and IUIs. However, I did not notice a difference in my s/e with the two dosages. Hopefully, you won't have an issue either. Good luck!
