Crinone Q - what to expect?

scmillheimscmillheim member
in Trouble TTC

I am on my first cycle of Clomid 50mg and Ovidrel.  Took my Ovidrel shot last night, and my doctor wants me to start Crinone on Monday.  For the ladies who've used Crinone - what side effects did you experience?

    I have been really bloated and very dry. Also, I find it just really gross, its TMI clumpy and just makes me feel like I need another shower.

    I am very much NOT looking forward to this...  Thanks for the replies ladies - at least I know what to expect.  Here's to hoping for only 1 cycle of Crinone....

    This, but I think the PP made it sound nicer than it is.  Of all IF related things I had to do, this was the worst and I consider it my biggest accomplishment having survived 5 weeks on this crap.  The only silver lining is that the result is worth it.

    No side effects for me and it's not too gross. I have the gel version. I use it at night before I go to sleep and wear a pantyliner.

    I also did clomid 50mg this month and an hcg trigger shot. Did you take estradiol?

    I had a hard time figuring out which side effects were from the stim meds and which were the Crinone. I was bloated and constipated, but overall it wasn't too bad. Definitely pantyliners. It was clumpy, but my nurse advised "cleaning things out" in the shower every morning (kind of like checking your CM), which was a bit gross, but so much better than letting all that clumpiness build up.

    No - didn't take Estradiol.  I think my last Estradiol level was 392 from yesterday, so maybe that was ok and he didn't think I needed more.  There are so many things I did not know/expect from this process. 

     I didn't have any s/e from Clomid, so maybe I'll get lucky and have the same with the Crinone.
