Good morning, ladies!
Finally, after almost 2 years, 2 HSG's and 1 surgery we're going to start on fertility meds next cycle (unless I just so happen to be pregnant randomly this one).
I have to confess: I'm one of those people who is very sensitive to medicine. A lot of meds make my blood pressure rise quickly, give me heart palpitations, etc.
I'm assuming he'll start me on clomid or femara, and I've hear clomid has a lot of side effects. What am I in for?
Re: Side Effects
IVF#3 brought us our miracle baby girl on June 26, 2012
The only s/e I've ever had while taking clomid were mild hot flashes...and not really that many, since I took it at night about an hour before bed.
GL!!

I didn't really have any s/e. Maybe a tiny bit of moodiness for one day. But I was only on 50mg and then 25mg.
Good luck!!
This was my first cycle on Clomid and I had minimal S/Es. I did get a few hot flashes, but taking the pill at night seemed to help with that. I was also minimally cranky. MH was more cranky than I was actually.
My Dr told me that some women respond better to Clomid, while others respond better to Femara. Good luck whichever way you go.
