Trying to Get Pregnant

Clomid sucks!

Ok so let's talk Clomid. It's a little white pill that is supposed to help you create life but it's kind of hard to create life when DH is mad at you because your hormones are all over the place and it makes you a little (or a lot) emotional. 
This is my 7th round of Clomid over the past 6 years and I still have not figured out how to deal with the crazy mood swings. 

Any tips? 
Does any one else have this problem on Clomid?

    Hi @meganttc3 I know you said you usually chill on the IF boards. Greeting from another IFer :). Typically, in this board, thins are slightly different in one-off post are discouraged. This would work well I’m thr IF thread or chafer stalk/questions. 

    Please free to hang around, intro on the designated thread, & join in here for more support. TTC can be lonely. IF is even lonelier- so genuinely sorry for your struggles.

    Do you have an RE or have you only been working with an obgyn?

    It would help if the doctor explained to yh that clomid does magnify mood swings. If the goal is to conceive, it’s a part of the deal. However, you have to do what you gotta do to calm yourself and try to add humor to the equation. That’s what mh and I do. It makes a world of a difference. 
    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.
