Clomid, Estradiol, and Prometrium

Quick question ladies...My first month on meds (October) my doctor prescribed 50mg of Clomid days 5-9...and it worked like magic, BFP for me.  Unfortunately I miscarried.  Now in January my first month TTC post m/c, the doctor still had me on 50 mg Clomid days 5-9, this time horrible headaches and symptoms of overstimulated ovaries. :-(  However, with CD1 today the doctor has increased my Clomid to 100mg days 3-7, 2mg Estradiol days 8-12, and Prometrium days 17-28 (or end of 1st trimester).  I have done some reading on Estradiol and it appears there are a LOT of really bad side effects...Have any of you taken Estradiol?  What experiences or s/e did you have?  Anyone taken this combination of meds?  What were your experiences or s/e?  If it makes a difference, I have PCOS...TIA

    I am a lurker from TTGP.  I took Clomid (100) days 3-7, 6mg Estradiol days 8-12 and Crinone gel at 3dpo.  I didn't notice a lot of s/e from the Estradiol- a lot less from that than Clomid.  However, my progesterone was still too low. 

    I hope it goes easy on you!

    I am taking estradiol. It makes me really nausious (sp?). The first night I vomited all night (TMI-sorry). I am taking 3 pills a day and that day I took 2 at once. After that I have been taking them with a shot of pepto to  coat my stomach and def. only one at a time and that seems to help. I do not think that is the norm though, I seem to react badly to all of these meds. I also was on 150mg clomid right before then.
