Another question... sorry in advance!

Just wondered how quickly side effects of Clomid kick in? Only been on it a couple of days and feel shattered, also came home from work with a terrible headache, almost how I feel when AF is due (usually get bad PMS). Normally I feel great this time of the month. I'm hoping this is a good sign, that maybe I'm responding to the meds? Having scan next week and bloods the week after. Hope everyone is having a good week. Love and BIG hugs to all ❤ xxx

I felt the side affects pretty quick especially when I first started taking them, for me it was the headaches and hot sweats that were the worst. Hopefully it’s all good signs for you xx

I wondered how long it takes to get in your system. Feel awful tonight; nauseous with a bad headache. Did your side effects ease after being on them for a while? How are you doing? Xxx

I usually feel the symptoms within a day or two of taking clomid hot flushes and slight headaches then I get bad ovulation pains later on currently having them now. Good luck xx

Thanks lovely, hope things are going well for you? I wondered if it was too soon but I think these are Clomid side effects. Hopefully a sign it's working. Good luck to you too xxx

Thank you hun :) i'm on my second cycle of trying clomid, i've had positive opks the past two days. I was told that it builds up in your system. I am currently taking 50mg from day 2 of my cycle. xx

Thank you, you too it's good that they scan you I'd wish they scan me but my hospital aren't funded to. Staying hopeful as much as possible. It's going to be a couple of weeks until I find out anything but will keep everyone updated xx

Really hope it goes well for you. I think it's terrible all the cuts with funding, it does make me very cross. I have fingers and toes crossed that things go well for you. Look forward to hearing how things go xxx
