I am also wondering if any of you have taken clomid before and if you had any side effects? Thanks!!!

My name is Carrie who just joined a few days ago! I started Clomid in November with 50mm. I had a lot of symptoms making me think I was pregnant. December had to take 50mm again and not as many symptoms. I turned 34 in jan 12th and had to start my 3rd try but this time 100mm. My levels went up each month and today is my 7th day past ovulation. I'm experiencing different symptoms this time. I'll be finding out next week!
I just hope I am because I really don't want to go to a specialist.

Symptoms that I had in December was: nausea, headaches, pulling /pinching
Symptoms in Jan: headaches, sensitive/tender breasts, extremely tired, stronger sense of smell, and more cramping.

CD1 today and i call my doc in the AM so i can start my first round of clomid this cycle! definitely want in on sharing how clomid works out!

You take it from day 5-9. After that it's fun time! You won't feel anything for the first week, but once you ovulate then your body will think it's pegnant (unless you truly are pregnsnt) just keep track of your body temp, when you ovulate and any symptoms you may have. But everyone is different. The first month I felt a lot, second month not so much, and this month I'm feeling different symptoms then I did the first month.

I'm on my first round of clomid too!
I'm CD 5 today.

I hadn't had a period in 5 whole months before taking provera so I really help clomid gives us that boost we need.

The only side effects I had today was being tired.

Does clomid really make you feel like you're pregnant after you ovulate? I hope not because I don't want to experience symptoms that get my hopes up.

to everyone :D

Hey ladies!!!! I am so excited we are going to go through this month together!!! yayyyy the more the merrier!!!! Ok so I am now o Cycle Day 4 and Day 2 of clomid 50 mg and the only side affects I have really had are terrible headaches and a few painful cramps but that's it!!! I am soooo excited and hope we all get this month!!!! I go to the Dr on Feb 17th for my Day 21 progesterone test and I'm gonna be quite nervous because I don't usually ovulate so I'm scared I'm not going to be hoping for the best!!!! I'm so excited to meet you ladies!!!

Firsttimemommy30 I am so excited because we are both 30 and both on or first round of clomid!! Anxious to see how yours goes!!!

bpdoyle I sure hope not too!! Because knowing me I would have myself convinced that I was pregnant!!! I don't know what to expect but happy you are here for us to all figure it out together!!

Wishful12 I am sure hoping for a fo you girl!!!!

You all will do great! My only advice to all of you is to keep calm. As for the day 21. It's just a blood test and won't know the results on til a day or two later.
I wasn't dropping anything and my first month (nov) my levels were 15.3, dec 18 and jan 21.7. (As long as your levels are over 12, you are doing great!)
You ladies have this! Just stay positive!! The more sad you get the more stress is put on your body!!!

Please let me know if you have any questions!!
