Hi,

I staretd Clomid this month and I am on 50mg for days 2-5. I didn't have any side effects except that I felt a little weepy. Not a big deal. I have been charting myself and thought that I woudl ovulate this Monday which would be day 14, but I had an HSG on Friday (ugly test by the way!!) and ovulated the next day on Saturday. Unfortuantely since it wasn't planned we weren't able to do the IUI this month so we are just going it the natural way and hoping that I'll get pregnant. If not, we'll be more prepared for ovulation adnd IUI date next month. Let me know how it goes with you on Clomid once you start.

Hi Ladies! I went ahead and started the Clomid on Friday. Since I have been taking the Clomid, I 've had insomnia, and then when I finally sleep (just for about an hour) I have very vivid dreams! Has anyone gotten similar side effects or is it all my head?

tomorrow I will start my second round of clomid, and my doc upped it to 100mgs. The only side affect that I had was that I couldn't stop cleaning. Then, right about 2 weeks after ovulation, I was vomitting alot, thought that I was preg., but it was just a UTI. My doc says to give it a couple of cycles of clomid before I start to worry. My mother took clomid for both me and my brother . God bless and good luck whomever may need it!!

I went in for my 12 day US today and there are apparently 3 mature follicles, 21mm, 20mm, and 18mm and several immature follicles.
I am doing a trigger shot tonight (Ovidrel). Then it's IUI the day after tomorrow. I guess the Clomid worked. My ovaries feel kinda full. This must be how chickens in the chickenhouse feel. Is it going to hurt a lot when I ovulate? I've never done this before and I'm nervous. I'm also 43 so "time is of the essense." Anyone else having IUI?

I am to start my first round of Clomid as soon as my AF arrives after my Prometrium is gone. I still have 6 days left of my Prometrium, but I'm not sure when my AF is to arrive. Before or after I stop taking the Prometrium? Anyone ever take it? I can never seem to get my Doc. on the phone ever. I will let you know what happens when I start my Clomid...
Well good luck to all....

Hi, I started mine on Friday 100mg CD1-5. I have had some night insomnia as well. Not too bad tho. It's just taking a bit longer to fall asleep, but I don't fel tired the next day at all...so not bad. I've heard from tons of folks that you should start using Robitussin the day after you are done with the Clomid about 2 tsp 2x a day until 2 days after O and then start using 1 81mg baby aspirin a day until AF or BFP. That's how I'm doing it as well! GL

Tenk, what does the baby asprine and the Robitussin do? I have heard a lot of other women talking about that but I don't know what it helps with. I hope you do get a + back on your pg test! I hope this is the month for all of us!

Well the Robitussin is supposed to create a more sperm friendly Cervical Mucus (CM). Sometimes Clomid can make your CM hostile or dry you up. and this helps with it. Baby aspirin b/c (Clomid can also thin out your lining a bit and prevent the little sticky from sticking in there) So it helps thicken the lining I suppose is the way to word it.

 

ema52 - October 27

Tenk, since you have been taking Robitussin, what is the active ingredient that you look for? I've been taking Robitussin but not sure if the right one. And sorry if this is tmi, but every time I use the restroom it smells like Robitussin (sorry tmi). Have you or anyone else experienced this before?

 

chandellina - October 28

the active ingredient is guaifanesin. make sure you aren't using one that contains any other active ingredients.

 

Tenk - October 28

The active ingredient is supposed to be the one with "G" as the first letter. Sorry, I forget how to spell it. You can take as much as 4 tsp every 4 hours. I take 2-3 tsp 2-3 times a day. I don't have a smell with urination tho. Maybe your dehydrated? Either way, I hope that you get your BFP this cycle.

HI Ema52. Just finished 2-6 on Friday. Only apparent side effect was extreme moodiness. How can I think of making babies when i am so moody? Good luck to you girl.
