Default Worried - Just started Clomid

Hi sisters

Thank God for this forum.. I found out that I could buy Clomid at Walmart for $9 instead of $140 at Walgreens (my insurance has a $100 deductible) and to take Clomid in the evenings.

Anyway I just started my first round (Only round, by God's special grace) of Clomid 5 - 9. I will take my 3rd pill this evening.

I dont want to be worried but I dont have any side effects. I have read a lot of the women here talk about their side effect. I have none, zero that I have noticed.

i am worried that no side effect may mean that its not working. Yes I know i sound contradictory, and I'm honestly happy that I dont feel ****ty like I feared and at work today performing at full capacity. but I figured if its working, you should feel something.

I started using my fertility monitor yesterday to track ovulation and I really hope it comes..

Oh I'm just confused.. Yes I dont want the side effects,, yet am worried that without the SE, that the Clomid may not be working

Would really appreciate your opinions

Jade

hi,

i wouldnt worry yet clomid side effects usually kick in after youve finished taking the pills then the hot flushes will begin ive also read a lot of women on here say that they didnt get many side effects but got a bfp!

I did my first round of clomid this cycle & the only s/e I felt were hot flashes & a bit of nausea AFTER I finished the pills. I think taking the pill at bedtime helps too.
I O'd cd23 & am in my 2WW now!

Hi, I just finished my first round of Clomid and I had no side effects either, but I ovulated two eggs, so don't worry! (Although, I may have an issue with my cervical mucus b/c of clomid...not sure yet).

Just an update. I'm on CD17 and my fertility monitor showed Peak this morning. Really really happy.

In the meantime, I may have had a few Clomid S/E. I had cramps on CD14 and CD15 and a really bad headache on CD15 (the only time I had to take Advil) and I have been exceedingly dry that BDing has been uncomfortable.
Thanks to this forum, I read about Pre-seed and went to a store here in Chicago yesterday and bought a pack. They gave us a sample and we used it yesterday and it made a whole lot of difference..

I actually took my first cycle of clomid last month and I took it at night so that I would sleep through the side effects. Even though I took it at night I still got the hot flashes and a little nausea but nothing serious. I took 50 mg of clomid and I actually O'd for the first time in my whole life. Stay positive, it really works.

Good Luck!


Your most fertile days should be cd 11-17....just a little help....

dont worry I didn't get any symptoms till about the day I took my last pill. I thought I was the only one not getting symptoms and I was worried cause I'm usually really sensitive to medications...When I did get my symptoms though I felt really bloated down low and I had a little cramping but that was it.. I also never had dried CM it was always watery which is different then what everyone experienced also so I think its just different for most.
