CLOMID

Hi,

Has anyone taken clomid before?

I started taking it on the 2nd day of my cycle for 4 days with no problems. It's now day 31 of my cycle which is approx 45 days long! I should be ovulating now. My husband and I had intercourse last night and since then I have had light stomach cramps and spotting. I'm not sure if this is related to the sex or the clomid. Background: I had endometriosis removed last year and have not had problems with bleeding after sex before. Please offer any advice.

Thanks!

Xx

Yes and I will never take it again. Created a cyst causing several IVF cycles to be cancelled

Did you contact anyone when you started spotting? I'm not sure if I should contact my gynaecologist. I feel ok...just like a period really. Thanks.

No point contacting them. I did and it did not bring me anywhere. There is nothing they can do

I have had the spotting too every month since the clomid. In my case it created a cyst that prevents me from ovulating. Nightmare

Oh god...I hope not! I've emailed her. Hopefully I'll get a reply!

Hi Jessie, on how much mg are you? I took 6 rounds 50 mg but didnt help getting pregnant. It did regulate my cycles which was hopefull. I wasnt offered any scans so in hindsight im thinking whats the point of taking it if u dont actually check if it makes me ovulate (ggrrr!! Nhs sometimes).

Did they offer you a scan? If private can you ask for one? I was told it will regulate your cycles so the case yours is still long might mean you on the wrong dose? X

Hiya,

Taking 50mg on my first round. Maybe I am having a period then? I don't know...I have emailed my consultant fingers crossed I get a reply! I'm NHS so no scans. I had an ultra sound scan beginning of the year and ovaries looked good no cysts.

Yes keep an eye on it. It might be your period. Seriously i went from 38+ days cycle to 27 on clomid. So keep an eye on your fertile window too x

What you can call her about is how to get red of the cyst because after clomid I had the same symptoms and on scans they saw cysts that prevented me to ovulate. It’s been 2 cycles lost already. If she has any good advice on cyst please message me!

Hi Lilly sorry to interrupt. I had my cyst before the clomid but then my thyroid wasnt detected. Did you had your bloods done then for thyroid? I think now it all is connected and my low thyroid maybe caused the cysts. X

After having done some internet research and finding that clomid is known to cause cysts, I asked my IVF doctor who confirmed it probably was the clomid as it can cause cysts. I don’t know for sure off course but as I haven’t had the symptoms before while having hypothyroidism, I think that in my case the most likely cause is the clomid

Oh god why cant we just have a break !! But that makes sense x

Check for yourself on internet, there have been several studies on clomid and cysts. I am so sad I was given this med and now cannot have a normal cycle since.
