Taking 100mg of Clomid can cause various side effects. Knowing what to expect helps you manage them.
Common Side Effects:
- Hot flashes: These sudden feelings of warmth, often in the face and neck, are frequent. Drink plenty of water and wear layers to help manage this. Mood swings: Irritability, anxiety, and depression are possible. Consider stress-reducing techniques like exercise or meditation. Headaches: Mild to moderate headaches are common. Over-the-counter pain relievers can provide relief. If headaches are severe or persistent, consult your doctor. Breast tenderness: Your breasts might feel sore or swollen. A supportive bra can provide comfort. Nausea and vomiting: These are less common but can occur. Taking Clomid with food might help. Blurred vision: Report this to your doctor immediately. It’s a less common but serious potential side effect.
Less Common but Serious Side Effects:
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): This involves enlarged ovaries and can cause abdominal pain, bloating, and shortness of breath. This is a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention. Multiple pregnancies: Clomid increases the chance of twins or higher-order multiples, which carries increased health risks for both mother and babies. Discuss the risks with your doctor. Visual disturbances: Beyond blurred vision, you may experience other changes in vision. This warrants immediate medical attention.
Remember, this list isn’t exhaustive, and individual responses vary. Always consult your doctor before starting Clomid, and report any concerning side effects promptly.
