I do not have any experience with Clomid but I do know how you feel! I got pregnant with DD right after we got engaged and I was on BC at the time!!! Now that we are trying we have been trying for over 2 years now 2 pregnancies both MC.

My doc recommended I take the clomid at night to help w/side effects. My first cycle I did get pretty bad headaches, but not really since then. Irritability is a big SE for me (just ask dh-lol)! One thing people don't think of, but seems to be true, is that often the side effects actually hit after you've stopped taking the pills.

I will usually take mucinex for several days which helps thin out the cm & drink v8 splash to help make more starting both around the time I'm taking my last pill.

Hope you're one of the lucky ones to get a bfp on your first clomid cycle!

I am also on Clomid...this is my 4th cycle on it.


V8 Splash supposedly helps with CM. We've been using Preseed, which helps and I've heard many success stories.


I also get headaches and the Clomid makes them a little more frequent, but

I started using B-6 3 months after we started TTC & stopped a couple months ago because it didn't help at all.

Yeah, My Doctor hasn't even said anything about monitoring anything.
