Mood Swings!!!

[blondebaby111]

i'm on the second month of clomid, just about to start the last month but was just wondering if anyone else has terrible mood swings on it. I'm not only like it for the 5 days i take it, it seems to go on the whole month on and off like really really terrible p.m.t. The way i've been treating my other half some days is awful and i turn from being really happy to a complete monster!! He just walks away til i've calmed down. The minute he starts hiding all the knives i know i have a problem .
Also i love my job but just lately since being on clomid i'm not happy with that either....please someone tell me its normal. As much as i want this to work i think i'm quite happy it's the last month now. i've had a total personality transplant!!!

Anyone??

Hi blondebaby

I've only just joined mn but saw your message a few days ago. I am also on my second Clomid cycle and I'm also having scary mood swings. Extreme PMT is exactly how I would describe it. It's also wiping out my energy, maybe because I'm having really vivid dreams and waking up feeling exhausted. I don't know if that's down to clomid too but it's not normal for me. I thought the side effects would just last for the five days but like you mine have gone on all month. My poor DP doesn't know what to do, he's tiptoeing round me as if I might blow a fuse at any moment. Last month I spent a fair amount of time alternately picking meaningless fights or crying. He has been stoic in fulfilling his duties as my mentalling hardly helps put us in the mood for swi!

Do you think the dissatisfaction with work could just be a side effect of the mood swings? I've had absolutely zero concentration and just feel as though I want to go back to bed. I am lucky in that I work from home so I can hide the worst of it and make up the time when I feel a bit better, but it's pretty horrible.

Is this your last clomid cycle? I've got one more if this doesn't work. My first cycle was a tracked one so i know I ov'd and we got the timing spot on but still no bfp. Fingers crossed for both of us this time...

snap..completley the same..been on cycles for over 6 months now..and the worst of it was i was getting prog levels of 1! but still feeling like i was possessed!! changed to letrozole(i think thats what its called..cant be bothered digging the box out! and tbh its just as bad.... want to be happy, but struggling not to be a bitter and sad shadow of my former self :(
no one said it was easy, but no-one said it was this bloody hard!!
anyhooo chin up ladies, itll be worth it in the end (all fingers and toes crossed) :)

Hi artemis, yes this is my last cycle of clomid..quite pleased really! Everything you said is me to a tee. I just feel like some bitter little bitch and to topit all off i think i have to go to dentist tomora as all my teeth are playing up..prob another side effect!! Fingers crossed for u too xx
Skyper no-one told me what to expect either..its tougher emotionally than what i though it would be. Good luck to u too xx
