Ok I am on cd10, and just started using opk's to find that surge this month. I have my follie check on Monday afternoon. Go clomid go... 100mg, hope it works and at least I "O" this time. Otherwise I think it will be time for me to go to the RE and move on to injectibles. I have no patience, been trying for way to long. I want that baby...

Hello everyone!!
CD 12 for me, and wow have I been on a medication cocktail this month!!! I've had to switch up all my med times, including any vitamins due to the strong antibiotics I was on to help clear up any hostile inflammation in my cm. I couldn't take any vitamins 6 hours before or two hours after the antibiotics...try to schedule that one in sometime....I had to take the antibiotics twice a day which made it even more difficult. I'm done with clomid now, just on the Premarin.

My worst side effect this month has been killer hot flashes. I think that I've figured out that if I am more emotional, the hot flashes tend to be worse. My grandma's funeral was yesterday and I just had then back to back all day long!!! Hopefully it will get better!!

I know I have just started the clomid and I swear the hot flashes have already begun. I am sorry about your grandma I know how you feel we just buried my grandma today it hurts but I know she is in a better place and I am hoping she is going to send me a miracle down!!

Stacey, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. Things will get better. The hot flashes are common with Clomid.

I have to say I haven't had any with the Follistim, but I'm still getting very dull headaches.

How is everyone else doing?

JJ, when I was on Clomid, I would take it at night so the s/e wouldn't bother me so much. I ended up getting my hot flashes at night but not too bad though, probably because I was sleeping.

Hope the 100 mg works for you this month!

I started taking mine at night this time so we will see if that helps if I have them after I am sleeping it's not that bad but I have been getting them as soon as I lay down and then I can't fall asleep because I can't get comfy but it's all worth it if it works this month

Well I finally made it to CD9 and my last Clomid pill for the month.

I have had major hot flashes this month, but alot of my other side effects (the headaches, insomnia, moodiness) have been almost nonexistent this month. Maybe the side effects get better the longer you take it.
