Totally hear you Shannon! The only other sympton I had besides the ones you mentioned was really bad breakout on my back. So, weird - then as soon as I was off the clomid they went away.
And hopefully you can file this away under "good to know but will never need because this one's gonna work" - But, when AF came the cramps where horrendous and the flow was so unusual (weird spotting 3-4 days from expected AF due date and very dark) I mention this because it was on my last clomid cycle that I started acupuncture and it really helped with the clomid after effects to my cycle.
Again - crossing my fingers that you never have THAT experience.
Thanks Everyone...Liv, I hope too that I don;t experience that nastiness...I really need to look into this acupuncture thing, I have heard a lot of great things about it...but never look into it...I'm not one for eastern medicine usually, but I am open minded :)
