Clomid/Pregnyl questions

in TTC after 35

Hi - 

First of all, I don't use fancy abbreviations. I'm an English teacher, so whole words are awesome for me!

I am Day 4 today. I went in today for my baseline ultrasound. The doctor's office called and I am cleared to start Clomid tomorrow. What should I expect for that? Some have said that taking it at night is better. Is that the concensus?

Then my second ultrasound will be on the 24th of this month. After that I will take an injection of Pregnyl. Anyone else take that? Any side effects? I'm thankful my best friend is a physcian's assistant, so she will do that for me.

I'm super excited about this whole process! We've been trying since July 2011, and we're not getting any younger! Thanks for your help with this!

    I have not had any experience with Pregnyl but felt that Clomid was easier on me when taken in the evening. It seemed to occasionally give me a headache if taken during the day.

    With the exception of the headaches, I did cry once when my husband

    My first month of Clomid didn't bring any side effects or changes for me. I felt no different than a normal cycle.  Subsequent months, however, were different.  I had mittelschmerz that w

    I have done 6 IUI's and Clomid never gave me any issues.  (I took it at night)  But oh that Pregnyl shot--every time I took it I would get nauseous and have cramps.  Of all the medications/shots I have had, its the only thing that made me a
