Low dose Clomid side effects

I was put on 25mg of Clomid this cycle. ?I am on cycle day 16 and I am so emotional that I cried at the Biggest Loser the other night. ?I'm not a crier. ? I am tearing up just reading these other posts. I just feel down. ?Plus I feel sick to my stomach all of a sudden. ?I thought I was gonna be lucky, with no side effects since the symptoms didn't start until a few days ago, guess not. :-(

My question is did anyone else get this emotional on such a low dose? ?My doc offered Femera for next time if Clomid didn't work. ?Is Femera that much better for the side effects?

It's amazing that 5 little pills can turn you in to a basket case for a month.

Thanks?

    I had a super high dose so I can only say that I had those S/E and more. Clomid is the devil when it comes to messing with you.

    I can't help you with the Femera question because I was never on it.

    I don't think I was aware that clomid came in 25mg dose.   Interesting.

    He told me to take half 50mg pill. ?I already ovulate, he just wanted to make me ovulate sooner and stronger or something like that. ?It hasn't worked yet though.

    I just did femara this cycle and absolutely no side effects, plus it helps suppress my endo.  I didn't get lots of big follies...lots of follies but only 1 likely was mature.  I would switch if they offer it because I had the clomid craziness no matter the dosage.  I hated it.

    Hey I noticed after I posted...femara is also known to help suppress endo (which is the reason I'm on it).  Since you had endo, I'd definitely ask for it!  Just make sure you've got a BFN first since taking femara during a pregnancy can up risk of birth defects.  Nothing has noted any rise in birth defects when taken before you're peggo though.

    Check your insurance before switching to Femara. It is actually a drug used for cancer patients and I paid a lot more for it than clomid (like $90 bucks)

    (That's almost 10 bucks a pill)

    Wow....mine was only $25 for the copay and my insurance covers no infertility at all.  I assume because I have the endo they allowed it.  Insurance companies make no sense whatsoever.
