Clomiphene is terrible. I am about to start my fourth month on it if AF would ever start. Be prepared to turn into a dragon lady and go through the worse hot flashes of your life. I cried in the shower while the ice cold water hit me because I could not cool down. Plus! Your PMS gets so much worse. I stayed curled up for almost a whole day before because the cramps were so bad. You get all of the pregnancy symptoms from nausea and vomiting to sore boobs. For three months I thought I was pregnant and actually tested at least 6 times each month because of it. Be prepared is all I can say. It is pure hell for me but at this point I will do anything to be able to have a baby and with one fallopian tube, I only have a few options available to me. Good luck to you because you're gonna need it!!

*Oh and BTW, doctors won't tell you that you will have a horrific time with it either. People say that it varies from woman to woman but I haven't met a woman yet that wasn't miserable from it and I have been TTC for three years.

Oh gosh I best get some ice packs ready and a fan then haha!! I'm really nervous but in the same boat I will try anything to get that BFP!! Baby dust too you xx

It really does vary from person to person. I did 5 rounds of it at doses from 100-150mg and I had no issues whatsoever. The only thing I noticed was my lining and ewcm became next to non-existent, but I was on a high dose so thats to be expected. I did feel O more than usual and was able to control when I O'd, which was awesome. Other than that, no tears, bitchiness, headaches or pms symptoms that I didnt already get before taking it. I plan on it using it for my next. Round 5 did the trick, Im now 19w5d.

i read horror stories before taking it and was nervous. but its not that bad for everyone. im on my second round in my two week wait, and to tell you the truth the two week wait is the worst part not the tablets. i had some nausea at night the days i took the tablets but not too bad. i had one or two days after i stopped the tablets of feeling dizzy.at the moment im a bit hormonal emotional but i dont think thats from tablets iv alot going on. its BEARABLE. and hopefully worth it. my advice is if you can track ovulation by ultrasound. if i only went my ovulation tests i would have been a reck cause all of my tests were positive even when i wasnt ovulating clomid can do that. good luck and dont look into horror stories its different for everyone x

I'm on cycle 4 second pill. Hot flashes and a bit bitchy but not too bad. I feel when I o more so that's good. EWCM dries up so I suggest preseed. My pms has been worse but periods lighter. That could just be the PCOS though. I have noticed each month is different. One cycle I'm crying, the next bitchy, then tired the next never know what you're gonna get. And it gives me the munchies. Lol. Don't let the horror stories scare you.

Thanks ladies! I will keep you all posted on how I get on. Got 13 days ish before I can start. For once I'm praying for Af to hurry up so I can get started haha x
