Started my second round of Clomid :( but my side effects are not the same. Please answer.?

Question

I am on my second round of clomid 50mg. days 5-9. Last month with my first round I had a migrane headache for 7 days, bad lower back cramps, nausea, and horrible mood swings. I went for my 21 day blood work and my progesterone was at 43. ( No success) This month taking the same dosage and same days. I am on my third day and really no side effects other than a slight headache. Do you think it isn't going to work this time????

Answer 1

I did 6 rounds of Clomid and had different side effects each cycle.  All of them resulted in ovulation (which was a problem before starting) but unfortunatly not a conception.  Try to relax, I'm sure the Clomid will do it's job.  Best of luck to you!!!

Answer 2

i am 14dpo with my 2nd cycle of 100mg clomid. i have not had any side effects this cycle, except for some soreness in my b*****s. i have ultrasounds at cd10 to check out follicular growth. i was worried that the lack of side effects would mean my follicles weren't growing, but that wasn't the case either month. last cycle i had one mature follicle and this cycle i had three. (so i am hoping for my BFP! :)

so, to answer your question, according to my dr and my experience, the side effects or lack there of, cannot be a reliable indication of whether or not the medication is working for you. :)

good luck!!!

That's interesting. I don't think the side effects have any bearing on whether it actually works. Maybe your body is prepared for it this time around, or you're better hydrated, or maybe psychologically the pressure is less and that's helping too. BTW, great progesterone numbers last time!!!!
