So how come nobody told me that clomid gives you really painful heavy periods? Why was I left in the dark about this? My periods are normally light I might cramp the first day but nothing unbearable.. after taking clomid this cycle my back hurts like hell, I've never had back pains on my period. I've been filling a pad every 3 hours when normally one pad lasts me the full 8 hours and still is never full. The cramps are crazy and have been going on for two damn days 😠😠! Plus I had a thought of suicide.. like I actually told myself that if one thing does not go my way I am going to do it. I had a set date and all 😂😂. I know it's not funny but it is. I had to do some research to see why I'm in so much pain and just so happen to come across the suicide part as a side affect. I'm taking it one more month then I'm done. Screw that
