clomid side effects?

cookie · Oct 16th, 2008, 04:09 AM

I don't often post on here (more of a lurker) but I was wondering if you lovely peeps would be able to help me.

We've been TTC for 3 years, have had five miscarriages and we're now trying clomid (on the first cycle)

is due tomorrow but for the last week I have been SO SO bloated it is unbelievable. Honestly, I look about five months preg. My stomach is hard and I 've been feeling really sick.

this morning (plus a few tears) so my question is - is bloating/sickness a side effect of Clomid? Even though I took it over three weeks ago?
I'm very confused

thanks v.much

hi cookie,

I am on my first cycle of clomid and have taken the tablets at night due to warnings from other girls about side effects. However i wok up last night soaking wet from being so hot and when i stood up i nearly fell over. Unfortunatly i feel sick all say too so i guess taking them at night hasnt helped me out.

I havent got the bloatedness yet just feel sick and dizzy, i am not sure if this eases with time...I really hope it does as i feel so poo!!

There is a few side effects with clomid, you can always ring your doc if you worried though xx

Hi Cookie, just finished clomid last month. Had quite a few side effects from it such hot flushes, irritable and dry skin but none of the symptoms that you mentioned. Symptoms can vary from to person to person although yours do sound a bit unsual. If I were you I would keep testing. Hope that helps!

hey - i'm on first cycle clomid and i'm due on on monday - i've been suffering with bloating and gass and all kinds of other symptoms and i'm hoping it's leading to bfp and not a side effect of clomid

so now i am little depresssed...the symptoms I was having are due to clomid??????

I had bloating during my Clomid. I would say that during the usage of Clomid, then it probably is the Clomid, but after that...I would say that it is probably hormones rather than the Clomid.
