I had hot flashes and headaches at the start of my cycle (took on days 1-5 then 2-6). Had +ve OPK 4 days after last pill both times so ovulated on roughly days 10 and 11. I felt quite bloated around ovulation. First cycle BD was really painful as my cervix was swollen and tender, subsided by second cycle. I experienced severe pain after ovulating the second time (about 4 days post O) and woke in the night in agony in both my ovaries (I thought they were going to explode, the pain made me need to vomit and I felt like I was going to pass out). I ate lots of salt and drank Gatorade (recommended for ohss) and it took a few days for the bloating to go but I was still very aware of pain in my ovaries. Ive not taken it since but have been told I may have to do alternate months but am reluctant as the pain was excruciating!! I have 2 friends who have taken it, and they've not experienced anything like me and from what I've read my experience is uncommon. Also, my moods/temper were HORRENDOUS [emoji23] and CM basically non-existent on it [emoji107]

Poptart, I have never heard of anyone taking it days 1-5 and only rarely days 2-6. I wonder if that might have had anything to do with your experience.

The only person I had with OHSS was given 150 mg by a doctor, without any monitoring.

I took it on days 1-5 (though was advised to take on 2-6) as a study I read concluded a higher conception rate in comparison to 5-9 (so did did it off my own back) My SIL and best friend were also prescribed on days 2-6 but we all attended the same clinic so must vary from doctor to doctor as I have read most commonly is days 5-9! I started the FGD and I think that contributed to be honest, though I can't be sure. I remember reading something and it made sense. Who knows! I do know if it happens again I won't take it again! My SIL used hers on 2-6 and fell second month and found out it's a girlie today! so I hope I can still take it.

Thanks for letting me know that! I think we have better rates of conception with 3-7 vs. 5-9, so it makes sense, but it does make me take pause given your experience. Glad you're ok!! I suspect that you'd be just fine on CD 4-7 or 5-9 because a normal number of follicles would start to develop and then would experience the estrogen block and then rise

no, they'd have to run a toxicology screen to see any drugs you have taken and I think the Clomid is out of your system by now anyway.

CBC is just a blood count. They use them to check for infection (elevated white cells), and anemia (red cells) and stuff like that You are in the clear

Thanks girls. My tsh levels are high. My dr decreased my dose of thyroid meds.
Its due to clomid or preg. Will b confirmed in couple of days when i ll get my positive or AF

[Poptart32]
