First Clomid Cycle CD#18

Hello everyone! Let me start off by telling you my story:
Me(23) DH(45)
Trying to conceive: 9months
Started clomid due to getting off the pill in Sept and only having 2 periods between Sept and May.
Was put on provera to bring on period, 50mg of clomid (day 3-7), Estriadol( day 8-12), and Prometrium( 18-BFP or AF). It has been an emotional roller coaster, yesterday, was having lunch with DH and just burst into tears (not really sure why, just on the verge for most of the day). Last night I started the prometrium and 30min later felt very drunk! Just made me feel super yuk. I'll make sure to take it as

Well I can say that the emotions are certainly related to the clomid, I had my own "clomid freak" yesterday as well, the increased hormones can really put us on edge! As for the other one making you feel drunk I'm not sure why you might want to ask you Dr. about that one, I do know that one day my clomid did make me feel like that though, very very dizzy.
Like the PP said, the emotions are probably related to all the hormones going on in your system due to the amount of medication you're on.
On my first Clomid cycle I did not O until CD 25. It was *very* frustrating. The Dr upped my Clomid dose and the next cycle I O'd on CD 21, then on CD 18. It worked a little better each time. I did get + OPK's, unlike the PP.
It's important to remember that your Dr started you at the minimum dosage and there's a chance it may not work. Are you going to do CD 21 bloodwork to confirm O? If not, I would call the Dr and ask for it. Otherwise how else would he know whether or not he needs to up your dose?
Do you only take OPK's to confirm O? Do you chart as well? Sometimes OPK's alone are not enough. I would really recommend charting your BBT so you know what's going on with your cycles. HTH!!
I'm glad you finally got a + OPK!
