Question

Skipped Clomid this cycle. Ovaries hurt.

I took Clomid my last 3 cycles. 50 mg for 2 then 100mg for one. Didn't conceive. I was tired of the side effects and DH was getting stressed about negatives. So I skipped Clomid this past cycle thinking we were done trying. I should ovulate this week. My ovaries hurt so bad as though I took Clomid this month. It's supposed to leave your system immediately so idk if this is an after effect. I've had cysts before & 1 surgically removed. I'm so afraid they're back on BOTH this time. Otherwise it's just follicles growing. I think my body is just a disaster in there! Anyone have similar issues?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I was on clomid too and after three months had horrific pain in my womb and ovaries. My dr ssaid to be I bet my mortgage your cysts are back ( i had a scan before starting clomid all cysts were gone ) he sent me for a scan and I had cysts on one of my ovaries and told it happens when you have cysts clomid can make them worse. I was never warned about this before starting clomid. Now I am waiting for a up to date scan but since being off the clomid I haven't had the horrific pain.

I hope I am wrong for you I really do.

Thank you. I'm thinking that's probably what's going on. If they're little and just go away great. I really don't want surgery again.

The effects of clomid can be felt for up to 3 months after stopping the drug. This is why many women get pregnant on an drug-free cycle.

Wow is that true? I never knew that. Im in my fertile window now and we BD last night. Hubby doesn't know it yet but I i have every intention of grabbing him again after work! Just cuz I want to. He's been stressed about how this has become work. So no OPK this time. Just winging it. But I work for an internist so im going to ask for an ultrasound today just incase. I was bothered all night. Heaven forbid my bladder is full, it's worse. Thanks for the information!
