Hi Twomums... looks like you're taking the opposite step to a few of us from here.

I guess my experience with clomid isn't normal, but I felt the effects of it for several weeks afterwards. The hot flushes in particular continued for a while after taking it, and from day 14 of that cycle, I had such a severe reaction to stressful events that I ended up having to take a week off work and be medicated quite strongly for the anxiety attacks. It's difficult to say how much of it was the clomid, and how much of it was just from the stress I was experiencing, but that was *not* my normal way of reacting to things. Some 90 odd days later, I had also never ovulated nor had AF. I'm now taking the pill before getting started with IVF. Again, this is NOT a typical response at all!

Good luck!
