Question

mom of 3; TTC # 4 with clomid

Help please! I did my first round of Clomid 50 mg this month and according to my chart I ovulated on the 18th of April (cd 19), which would put me at 4 dpo today and I am already feeling symptoms (not like my other pregnancies - except the water thing - see below)

0 dpo - ovulation pain, dry mouth and EXCESSIVE thirst for water (which I despise water), my drink of choice diet pepsi actually turned my stomach and I couldn't finish it.
1 dpo - dry mouth & water again, Headache, N & V in the am.
2 dpo - dm, water, headache, Hot flashes, vivid dreams, and now peeing alot
3 dpo - bloating, pronounced veins, cranky, dizzy and light headed, dm, water, headache, tired, dreams, hot flashes, nauseous, and shortness of breath
4 dpo - bloating, pronounced veins, cranky, dm, water, headache, peeing alot, runny and stuffy nose, vivid dreams, tired

what do you think is it b/c i'm pregnant or is it all in my head?

As implantation hasn't occurred I'm afraid it's in your head, I did clomid too and ovulated 18 April too and feeling nothing yet xx

I dont think its all in ur head, its def not pregnancy related tho. All those can be caused by a rise in progesterone, the hormone released after ovulation. Clomid increases the amount of progesterone, which would be why u feel it more intensely than on a drug-free cycle. Try to ignore the symptoms for at least another week, even better if u can ignore 'em altogether. Medicated cycles are very convincing and very heartbreaking if u end up with a bfn and af.

Best of luck! =))

as someone who's taken clomid, been on progesterone suppositories, and finally got a BFP you honestly can't go by these symptoms. the baby won't implant until 6-12DPO, so it really can't influence anything yet. this cycle that i got my BFP was the most 'boring' TWW i had ever had so i was super surprised to have a BFP! other cycles that i seemed were for sure were a big bust. try to sit back and wait, which is totally easier said than done, i know!
