Clomid and heavy period??

[Dianeb]

Hi all...

I am currently trying to conceive baby #2.....and havent had much success despite actively trying for a while. Last month, i went to see my doctor who prescribed clomid 25mg to me (once per day for 5 days). Sadly..i didnt get pregnant last month and i find that my period for this month is extremely heavy and painful !!! is this a common side effect of clomid or what? Should i be worried if something is wrong? i never experienced such heavy period before....

Any thoughts would be highly appreciated!!! Thanks so much!

Diane

Hi Dianeb, I didn't notice much changes, guess everyone's different. Is best to ask your doctor to put your mind ease.

Another possibility (depending on how closely that you've been monitored etc) is that it could be an early miscarriage - I had an early miscarriage at about 5-6 weeks before. My periods were irregular so I could have completely missed the pregnancy, but took a test and also saw a doc (due to my irregular periods, I could have been as far along as 8-9 weeks). He confirmed the pregnancy and estimated how far along I was, but I started bleeding the following day. If I hadn't known I was pregnant, I would have just thought it was a really heavy period.
