Question

Wanting to know what to expect on first cycle of clomid?

Starting clomid this week for the first time, I'm super nervous, because I don't really know what to expect,, my doctor office has already set up an ultrasound appointment for cycle day 12, I just want to know what to expect? And wondering about people's clomid experience. Btw I'm on cycle day 2, and I've been on metformin for 7 months, I have pcos, long 41 day cycles

I used clomid 7 times (before moving on to ivf) and never had any side effects. Some women report hot flashes, headaches and mood swings. Just make sure your doctor is confirming ovulation through blood work or u/s while you are using it. I'm pretty sure I didn't ovulate the first couple times on the 50mg dose because they never checked but I did ovulate on 100mg.

Okay, thanks so much! My doctor said he is going to closely monitor me!

I used 50mg twice, and both times I got pregnant after a long time TTC. Did not have any side effects.
The first time I went for a scan at day 9 and already had a 22mm follicle but I waited two days and no positive OPK, which I expected because I ususally ov on day 18. So the dr. gave a trigger to ovulate next day.

The second time I had a 12 mm on day 9, and had to wait for a second scan on day 12, and got a 20 mm follicle and I triggered next day. I also BBT and could see a clear change in my temp to confirm.
Hope it works for you. Let us know!
