Clomid Side Effects

I?ve just started on Monday taking my first round of Clomid. So far so good in my opinion, as I was afraid that I was going to have every side effect possible happen to me. I have had experiences with past medications that have just been horrible (nothing related to fertility). However everything I read and when I?ve talked to other woman who were on Clomid stated that their mood swings were out of this world. To be honest I have had the complete opposite. I feel like I?m more relaxed and could care less about the little things. Heck I even started making my husband?s lunch every day, I NEVER DO THAT! LOL! Stick out tongue and I have made dinner in advance for the week.

For those of you have taken Clomid have you had the mood swings and side effects or nothing at all?

    The 1st time I took it wasn't so bad other than a few awful hot flashes, but other rounds I took were HORRIBLE! I had tons of hot flashes, major mood swings (read: rage issues) and depression. The only thing that helped slightly was taking the pills at night. That was back in the day before I joined an online community and knew better than doing multiple rounds without monitoring. UGH!

    I didn't have any mood related side effects with the Clomid. I did get headaches 2 out of 3 times on it. And had a couple of hot flashes on one of my cycles.

    I noticed I was in a really good mood when taking my Menopur the first time. Like an amazingly good mood. I think it was less to do with it being a side effect and more to do with the feeling hopeful and optimistic that this was my lucky drug!

    I don't really think I had crazy mood swings (though DH would probably say otherwise, lol) but I did have crazy hot flashes and night sweats (as I did with all my IVF meds too). Looking back, Clomid wasn't as bad as I thought it was at the time... Glad you aren't having any side effects. FX it stays that way for you!
