clomid advice?

Hey everyone, just wondering if all of you that have taken clomid had any advice.  We have been TTC for 7 months after having mirena removed (had it in for less than 1 yr).  I already have a 2 yo daughter so it has happened before!  I am starting my first round of clomid on sunday and just wondering your thoughts or experiences.  Thank you in advance!

I take 100mg for five days. I am a little moody on it but nothing umbearable. 

Best wishes,
Traci

Chlomid brought on a lot of eggs. I had about 6 eggs the first time and then the next time I had 8 and finally (I think they gave me a shot of something else too) I had 16 eggs. Needless to say on the 16 hubby couldn't turn in my direction as we awaited an extraction to do our IVF. Or else I would have dusted Octomom badly! I can't even imagine!!!

Both times I have taken it I have noticed hot flashes, especially in the first few days, my skin usually breaks out, and I can feel a little more irritated, but it isn't really too bad. The last time I took it, we got pregnant that same cycle. Right now I am in my 2ww, so I don't know if it worked this time. Good luck!!

I am really excited to begin the cycle and keeping my fingers crossed it will work the first time, but hate getting my hopes up!  Good luck with your 2ww hope you get a BFP soon!

I was on it for about 5 months with them increasing the dosage every month and never would ovulate.  I then decided to start crushing them before I took them followed by a little caffeine to maybe help kick start them.  I finally ovulated that month and the next that I stayed on clomid.  good luck

My biggest advice....apologize to hubby now. LOL All of my emotions were magnified times a 100!! I also had pretty bad headaches and some cramps. Good luck! Shari
