    Well my few days of happiness and joy havecrashed around me and I got back a BFN this morning. I used a pregnosis clear test and I read on the weekend ( in the instructions) that the test could give false positives from clomid and I rang the company yesterdady and they said if I am on clomid the best chance of finding out if I am UTD is either AF late and then POAS and take that result as real or a blood test.
    Rang FS and he said i just have to hang in their till af DUE THEN WE DO THE BLOOD TEST. hE DOESN'T LIKE TESTIING BEFORE af AS SOMETIMES THINGS DON'T go well with the cells and the baby dosen't form and you still get a AF on the day due or one or two days later... - apparently very common.... So no BT and have to wait but to be honest apart from a minor amount of cramping ( ovary area cramping so a little worried )I have no other signs so I think the clomid ,may have made me O but it has also give me a false result.
    So sorry i don't have some happy news for everyone....

    Hey everyone,
    I did try to post here once and it never worked, but I'm Jess and I've been taking clomid for one cycle and am about to start on it again today.

    I have a question which would probably be answered if I read all the posts, but there is too many! So this cycle just gone I have been really light headed pretty much every day and been really close to fainting on a couple of occasions which has never happened in my life. I am just wondering if anyone else has had these kind of side effects from taking clomid? I'm assuming that's what it's from because I can't think of anything else it could be!

    Hope someone can help, thanks girls!

    Morning jess - lightheadedness - yes I did get it, but only in the evenings and only the first cycle. Maybe try and take the chlomid at night, as you sleep through the effects. This was suggested to me and it works! So recommend it.

    Day 12 for me and I have to go for a US - urgently - haven't had them for the last two months, but am getting sharp pains, different from any other month, so the FS wants to see what is happening!

    Oh sorry! It didn't look like my first post had worked, but it did obviously. Sorry sorry!

    Becc- I did take it at night! And the weird thing is that I took it for 5 days and the only side effect I had during those 5 days was hot flushes, and the light headed and dizzy stuff didn't even start until about a week after I had finished taking the clomid! So that's why I got really confused about it!!

    Hope your us goes ok

    Jess - maybe that is a sign of ovulation? Do you think it could be? did Ovulation work for you last month? they say it is 6 to 12 days after your last chlomid tablet it happens, so maybe??

    MRZ - fingers crossed for you. Maybe it was in the percentage that the negative was wrong.

    lighthead, vauge, dizzy, faint you name it i have it when i am taking the clomid, although after your suggestions girls i took it at night and it was so much better. I have hot flushes today but should be pre "o" going to see FS for a scan tomorrow to see if there are any follicles this month, certainly feels like it
