Starting clomid

Wishing35Wishing35 member
in TTC after 35
So I am starting my first round of clomid tommorow , my RE gave me 50mg twice a day for cd's 3 to 7, and then I have my HSG test on day 10. I'm a little nervous about the mood swings, the RE actually said "you may want to kill someone" . I laughed but she said I'm being serious ! Is it really that bad?

    I'm on a mini dose (50mg once a day on CD5,7,&9) so not sure it's an accurate comparison but I have not had any side effects from it at all.  Good luck!
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    I am on CLomid and injections and the only thing I have noticed was a headache which usually goes away with drinking a big glass of water.  I do have a  question though...Why would you be given Clomid without knowing your tubes are clear (HSG)... you know Clomid has a 6x max use right?

    I was on 100mg clomind cd 5-9 this month (on cd14 today) I haven't noticed any issues. I may have had some slight headaches but nothing, that I said ooh its the drug.

    I have been very emotional the past month, bt I think its just alot of stress...

    My RE basically gave me the option to start clomid and IUI right away. I decided to try clomid first with times intercourse and we agreed in 3 months if it doesn't work will try the next thing. I could wait until next cycle but I really did not want too.
