Hillary - I had LOTS of trouble with Clomid. I seriously felt like I was loosing my mind. When my RE mentioned using Clomid with my IUI I actually started crying. I am using Femara instead. I had very few side effects (a hot flash here and there and some pretty significant fatique). I did have some emotional days but nothing like I did when I was on clomid. I get hives even talking about clomid - it was that bad for me.
Crossing my fingers that you don't have another IUI but if you do, definitely ask for an alternative to clomid.
