Taytum- Is that your actual name? I ask because my niece's name is Tatum As far as symptoms, today is day 1 and nothing noticeable so far. Though, I do have a lot of other stuff going on that would make it easy to miss things. The biggest being that I had a D&C at the beginning of last cycle, ppl warned me this AF would be as awful as the one right after my D&C but a big part of me thought they were exaggerating. They weren't. So, I am living on pain killers at the moments and still in pain much of the time. That alone could easily mask any minor side effects. I know I've been ravenously hungry today (diet went kablooey today ) but that is not unheard of during AF for me. It happens every so often so I can't really say that it has anything to do with the clomid. Extra cranky today, but I am always extra cranky when I don't feel good so I think that had more to do with the pain than anything.So, yeah, I can't really think of anything that can't be explained by anything else. But, again, today was only day one AND I am typically u pretty late (insomnia) so I took it before I laid down this morning (can't remember what time but I know it was pretty late before I got to bed... well after midnight) and they say if you take it before bed that you might be able to sleep through the worst of the symptoms so that my play a role as well. I am wide awake again tonight, as usual so it'll prob be another late night for me again so I'll prob take it before I lie down again tonight if it is late enough, which it prob will be. If not I'll take it in the AM when I wake up. Either way I'll keep you posted, though, if anything changes

True, I think I'll go crazy if I don't have your chart to stalk! Maybe you should send ME your temps.
Ladies good lucķ in July! All those on Clomid, I hope you tolerate it well and O on time.

I haven't had any symptoms really. I take my last dose tonight. I did get my first "high" smiley this morning. So it looks like I will O earlier than usual. I typically get 5-6 days of highs before I get a peak (aka +opk). Which means that I should O about a week earlier than usual.
The first two nights I took the clomid, I had trouble sleeping. The 3rd day, I could feel my ovaries starting to do something but it wasn't super painful or anything. This morning I woke up soaking with sweat which is why I took an opk.
I have no idea why doctors prescribe it for different days. I used to think it was based on when you normally O. Since I normally O late, I figured that I'd be on cd5-9 but then he put me on 3-7. So, I think it's more of their personal preference.

Tatum- A lot of it is doctor preference but I've read that some docs give it 5-9 in women who don't tend to O on their own (I took it 5-9 before when I didn't O on my own)and 3-7 in women who do O on their own but are seeking earlier O or better odds (taking it 3-7 this time, I O on my own and I m trying for a sooner O and quick conception so what I read online make sense) because supposedly (I have no idea if it is true or not) 3-7 is supposed to mature more follicles or something.... from what I can tell (I am no expert, and I haven't studied it- just casual observation) there doesn't seem to be a diff in the twinning rate when taken 3-7 or 5-9 so I don't know if I buy into it producing more follicles *shrug*
Got my first symptom last night. There is a window AC in my room and it was on full blast so there is NO reason I should have been hot, but I was burning up. Lasted a good 15-20 mins and then I was fine again. I expected hot flashes as I had them the last time I took clomid so it's no big surprise to me. Just hoping a hot flash doesn't hit during my workout (the witch is on her way out, thank God, and I'm feeling loads better so I am getting back into my routine today)... I already sweat enough thanks Lol.
I am also really... no REALLY tired and I can't figure out why. I slept the same as I always do last night... maybe even better *shrug* I can't explain it so I suppose it *could* be a side effect, not saying it is... just saying that I can't come up with another reason for it...

I have a thread somewhere asking people for their Clomid experiences - maybe if we post there it could help other swayers in the future!
