Clomid ovulation pain question

musicnmoon123

For the past 2 months, I've been on Clomid. Each time, as my follicles get close to the magic 20 mm number, I get really achey and crampy as if my ovary is going to burst.

I've never felt ovulation pain prior to going on the meds. Is this simply a side effect or would it seem to indicate that perhaps my follicles weren't reaching maturity before? Thoughts?

I felt more pain and pressure while I was on Femara.  I'm no doctor and am very possibly wrong, but I believe it was because there were more than one in there growing, hence the pressure.

I always had very strong ovulation pains on clomid. The first cycle I actually went in for an ultrasound before my mid cycle scan because I was convinced I had a cyst! But, nope. I think it's common and as long as you are being properly monitored, I wouldn't worry too much! Good luck!

This makes sense to me.
