Can any ladies help?

[ellmaixx]

Good evening ladies,

I'm just wondering if anybody has any advice on clomid? I'm due to start my clomid in the next couple of weeks. Is there any side effects? Is there any helpful tips that can maybe help me out? Anything I can do while taking it? Also success stories, I'd love to here your success stories!

We've been ttc for 3 years and we are finally getting help, I'm trying to think positive things an hope you ladies can help me along the way on this journey!

I started taking it this month. First few days didn’t really feel anything but then started feeling sick towards the end of the 5 days and good few days after. I noticed I didn’t have as much mucus around ovulation and felt quite low in mood. Day after trigger shot (when you most need to do the deed) I felt terrible - very bad cramps and
Bloated, and constipated randomly (not one of the side effects listed). I have decided I do not want to take it more than 3 cycles. Or I’ll at least take a break from it. Hope you don’t feel as bad as me. Good luck and hope it works for you. X

Btw I didn’t drink any alcohol and drank plenty of water, ginger cordial drink helped a bit. I would avoid fatty foods and anything that bloat you up more like pasta pizza
Etc. X

@JandL2020 Thankyou so much for your reply! My fertility doctor hasn't really told me much about it so I'm really anxious! He just basically threw a leaflet at me and i got my next appointment in the post for the 27th of feb.. So I'm hoping I can get more info on here with people like yourself that have actually taken it and experienced it! I've started drinking plenty of water and cutting out the coffee and doing little things to try an prepare my body.. One thing he did say is that I can have between 3-6 cycles but I have read somewhere that it can do more damage than good but I'm not sure how true this is.. I always take articles with a pinch of salt! I hope your clomid works for you x

Thank you 😊 testing next week if AF doesn’t arrive so I’ll let you know if any success. If you’re being scanned the risk is pretty low I think. Fingers crossed x

@JandL2020 how are you feeling? Have you tested yet? I have everything crossed for you!! X

Hey not too bad thank you. Started spotting 8 DPO then bright red blood yesterday morning and evening 9DO (sorry TMI). Not had any bleeding today but I’m not holding out much hope for implantation I just think my period is coming annoyingly early. I didn’t realise it could also bring your period to arrive early or unusual bleeding which is does say in the leaflet! 😖 anyway! Chin up and onto next cycle I think. Good luck with yours I’ll keep you updated xx
