What are normal side effects of clomid.

Yes, Clomid can cause these types of side effects, but if the pains get worse, please let your doc know

Hi there

I am on my first round of Clomid as well. Think I finally got my positive ovulation test today on CD19.

The past few days I have had a sharp shooting pain across my lower stomach - it only lasts a second, so I'm hoping it's normal, like yourself!

The doctor told me to phone if I felt really ill, bad cramps, nausea etc.

Have you ovulated yet? Good luck!

I remember posting about this when I was on Clomid.... I said it felt like my ovaries had 5 lb weights attached.

It is normal, but if the pain is tough to bare or you're worried about potential overstimulation of your ovaries, you should call your doc for an ultrasound.

Just a quick question - I took my first round of Clomid days 7 to 11. It's now day 20 and on day 18, 19 and 20 I have had a positive OPK. Is this normal? I usually get a positive OPK for 2 days only. This is my 3rd day of getting a positive ovulation. Not sure what tomorrow's result will be!

Just wondered if anyone else had this?

The ONLY positive that matters is the first one.

You need to understand how the OPK works.

Every month, during the first half of your cycle (the follicular phase), your ovaries are growing follicles. When it comes time to ovulate, you will have a sudden increase in LH. This is the hormone that is detected by the OPK. When you get the surge, you will ovulate within 12-36 hours. Your LH may remain high, even after ovulation, but regardless, you will ovulate 12-36 hours after the FIRST POSITIVE OPK.

My suggestion, from Dr. Q a couple years ago... STOP TESTING after the first + OPK. You're just wasting money on test strips after that.

ok, thanks for clearing that up!
