yesterday, i took my first dose of clomid.
this morning, i woke up around 4 a.m. with stomach cramps much worse than yesterdays. i’m talking cramps so horrible i wanted to slit my wrists. literally.
isn’t it great how they warn you about mood swings being a side effect but don’t mention, oh, cramps that induce thoughts of suicide? or another side effect that i will not name but when joe told the doctor she said, “i’ve never had a patient get that as a side effect before.”
it’s pretty hard to sleep when you’re in a lot of pain. when i laid on my back it seemed to subside after a while, but if a rolled over just a tad, it was back again. let me just say, it’s really hard to lay on your back for several hours. i told joe getting pregnant wasn’t worth all the pain 🙂 my mom said that was the mood swing.
when joe got up, he looked online and found that cramping *is* a side effect of clomid. for a “small number of women” that is.
at least i’m special, right?
Oh man. That sounds just absolutely awful. I’m *so* sorry, Cady! Just think, though … hopefully soon you might be receiving happy news and in nine months be holding a newborn baby in your arms. I guess, just keep thinking about the end result? Easy for me to say, I know. I hope you feel better son!
Hey! I just found a “Clomid ticker,” LOL! 🙂
I am so sorry you are the “extra special soul” who gets the rare side effects. I am especially empathetic because I am usually extra special myself, when it comes to taking medicine. Here’s hoping that your body adapts sooner rather than later, and that you get a baby in there extra specially quick!
Hey, I thought moodiness was a side effect of breathing when it comes to women?

::runs::
Eek! I hope it works so that all this will be worth it!
I also get all the strange side effects from meds… I hope that it passes in a few days! Hugs!! And smack joe lol…
