1st round of clomid

Just finished my first round of 50mg clomid & wanted to share my experience for anyone else going through it.

Period days 1-4 as usual

Clomid days 5-9. No unusual symptoms.

Very emotional days 12-15. I felt sad, tearful, got more annoyed that was rational, got super stressed about work (normally I would have handled this incident no problem). Clomid really got to me mentally. I was in Disneyland on some of these days, which is my happy place & still I felt like crying for no apparent reason while I was there.

Cramping, bloating & diarrhoea days 14-19. This cramping was ‘I need to poop’ cramping. It was really painful & I was pooping a tiny bit every few hours after having a short period intense cramps. Poop was soft (but not runny) and stringy with mucus. I was so bloated I couldn’t wear clothes with waistbands as it was too painful. I wore a lot of tights & dresses

Positive opk days 18 & 19. This is early for me as I normally ovulate on cd 24 or 25.

Post ovulation/ luteal phase days 20-30

Day 20-24 I had actual runny diarrhoea

Days 24-30 normal pre period symptoms such as tender breasts & irritability, but diarrhoea gone thankfully!

Day 30 af arrived :’(

So it’s onto the next cycle for us🤞🏼
