Clomid and bloating

in Trouble TTC

I just started my first cycle of Clomid and now ovulating. I haven't had any side effects but now I have extreme bloating. Has anyone else experienced major bloating during O while on Clomid?

Married 9/09 TTC 5/10
Testing:DH=Normal
3/11 HSG=right tube blocked, possible bicornuate uterus
4/11 MRI=no Bicornuate uterus, just a little crooked
6/11=started 1st cycle clomid + Progesterone=???

    It is my first cycle on Clomid as well.  The bloating seems to be getting worse the closer I get to O (should be this weekend or early next week).  I didn't really feel bad while I was actually taking it but each day it seems to be getting more intense.  Seems to be a normal side effect but I am definitely going to mention it to my Dr when I go in for my u/s tomorrow.

    Not everyone gets the bloating, don't worry too much about it yet.  Maybe you won't have that s/e.  Hang in there.

    I almost hate to answer this, but I will be honest and tell you that mine still hasn't.  And I start Clomid again in 4 days.  *sigh*  But I could just be bloated now because of AF, who knows.

    I have done three rounds of Clomid and I did have the bloating too. Mine lasted up until a few days before AF would show.

    I am a clomid bloat monster. I am fine the 5 days taking it but after is horrible till AF. I am glad after doing the resistance test last month we decided to go IUI route because TI is hard because sex has me literally in tears.
