Trouble TTC

Clomid

I am on my second round of clomid 50mg, took it from day 3-7(5 pills) I had a positive ovulation test on day 13 so my husband and I "got together."  I had pain in the ovary area on day 9 and then it continued till  day 13.  The pain has subsided but I still feel wore out, tired, my stomach is very bloated, very nauseous(lost my lunch today) and have a constant headache with crazy hot flashes.  Is anyone else have or have had these symptoms while taking clomid?  Anything tips to help with the symptoms???

Re: Clomid

  • Clomid can have some very serious side effects, I would call my doctor and talk about it with them. The nausea and hot flashes are pretty run of the mill but the bloating is concerning. Call them in the morning.

  • Are you being properly monitored with regular blood work and ultrasounds? The bloating and ovarian pain has me concerned that you may have produced too many follicles. Also, Clomid can cause false positives on OPKs, which is one reason for monitoring.

  • Those side effects sound par for the course with clomid. Like PP said, you should be monitored by your doctor with at least baseline and mid cycle blood work and ultrasound. If you are feeling that much activity, then there's a chance that you've over responded.

  • With My first round of 50mg clomid back in April I wasn't being monitored at all and by CD13 I had extreme bloating and nausea the next day I went to my primary care DR he thought I had a appendicitis turns out it was a big fat ovarian cyst that ruptured :( and no BFP that cycle. This cycle I took 100 mg clomid no nausea no bloating and no cyst yay! just minor pains in the ovaries RE said that's a good sign. Listen to your body if your not feeling right call your Dr stat!

  • I get bloating and ovarian discomfort (not pain, just feels like pulling/swelling) before ovulation with Clomid.  I'm monitored and it's never because of a cyst.  It goes away a couple days after ovulation.  However, if you're ever in pain, you should call your doc.
