I'm either on Clomid or Femara- research study so I don't know which one. Have taken both before in the 9 years we've TTC but am having completely different symptoms/side effects this time. DH and I have had intercourse every other day this cycle- he has no male factor issues.CD5-9 I tood Clomid or FemaraCD 11 I developed a sudden and intense aversion to meat and lack of appetite- I feel hungry, but have NO desire to eat- I have never had this happen- always loved meat and loved eating. This has continued.CD 18 brief but intense cramping in my uterus; periodic aches in my breasts began- couple times a day; heightened sense of smell that has also continued.CD 25 (yesterday) began having pain in my uterus/ovaries when I sneeze or coughIn my previous months on these meds, I have had headaches (none this month), moodiness (some this month) but thats been all. Could this all be just a result of the clomid or femara even though I never had them before when I was on them? Could these be pregnancy related even though they started pretty early in my cycle? THANK YOU!!
All of these symptoms could be pregnancy related or just symptoms from the medications.The single most important information now (and any time you are on ovulation inducing medications) is whether you ovulated or not. If you did ovulate for sure and it happened more than 11-12 days ago then there is a good chance that the pregnancy test will be positive.
