Clomid and I don't get along. I've been on it four times. The first cycle was anovulatory. The second I was weepy. The third they thought I had ohss. This cycle I'm just a bitch but I'm so bloated I can't button my pants (again).</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: eeee!! Thinking of you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1225847 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 01:38:19 +0000 BSB 1225847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleLashesToes: Yay! I'm glad your dr said it was okay!</p> <p>I've never been on Clomid but I have seen some HB users complain about that drug.</p> <p>My dr put me on Femera from the start. I actually just finished my last dose today. My IUI will be next week. </p> <p>I don't know what the difference is but you could ask your Dr what he thinks about Femera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1225773 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 23:43:34 +0000 QBbride 1225773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleLashesToes: Have you asked your doctor about Femara? Apparently the side effects are much less than Clomid. Just a suggestion... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1225758 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 23:33:05 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1225758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone. I found out that it's OK that I took it. He said it was really up to me and won't hurt or interfere with anything. </p> <p>That being said, I don't think I will be taking Clomid again. The side effects are awful. I have the worst headache and no appetite. Anyone else experience this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1225269 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:29:58 +0000 BSB 1225269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleLashesToes: I would be honest with your Dr and let them know you took it. If it was just one dose, maybe it won't interfere with your HSG results. If they are concerned about it, they could ask you to wait til next month to have your HSG. I think being honest with them is better so they can give you the best chance of getting pregnant and diagnosing a problem if you have one. I would be concerned about you being misdiagnosed if the clomid skews your results.</p> <p>Best of luck to you this cycle. </p> <p>Have you had an HSG before? I had one last year and luckily my results were all clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1225252 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:18:12 +0000 QBbride 1225252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleLashesToes: I've heard that women often get a BFP the cycle they had the hsg done, since it sort of "flushes" out your tubes. I have heard of women who took Clomid the same cycle as their hsg, I wouldn't worry too much. I guess my opinion varies from pp's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1225101 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 18:51:13 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1225101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, ladies. I was embarrassed to post this, but needed advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1225020 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 18:01:18 +0000 Bao 1225020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not have went against my doctor's orders. Maybe you should call and let them know what you did, and go from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1225009 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:53:18 +0000 Happygal 1225009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clomid is a serious drug--I wouldn't take it unless my doctor advised me to and I was being supervised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1224994 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:45:08 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1224994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like a waste of time to go to the doctor and not listen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1224825 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:22:47 +0000 pui 1224825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What PPs said. Clomid should not be taken the same cycle you get a HSG for multiple reasons. You should not take any more pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1224755 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:01:56 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1224755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: this. My HSG was scheduled at a specific time in my cycle, without the use of any fertility meds, so the test results were accurate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1224751 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:00:04 +0000 blackbird 1224751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't taking clomid early also interfere with ovulation? which you don't want to happen during your HSG and interfere with it (which is why an HSG test is done at a very specific time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/against-doctors-orders#post-1224715 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 15:46:49 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1224715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going in for my Day 10 HSG on Thursday. My doctor prescribed Clomid last cycle (days 5-9) with no success. I already ovulate regularly, so he's prescribing simply to improve egg quantity /quality. </p> <p>He advised me NOT to take Clomid this cycle because I'm going in for the HSG, which can thin the uterine lining. </p> <p>Well, I have 3 cycles worth of Clomid just sitting here in front of me and I was bad and started it on day 3. Now I'm getting worried that maybe I should have been good and listened to him. </p> <p>I was in the frame of mind of "anything for a baby!!"</p> <p>Thoughts? Experiences? :heart: </p>
