Painful ovulation on Clomid- what's going on???

Anyone who's been on Clomid, please please reply!

I'm on round 3 of 50 mg Clomid and got a positive OPK this morning. At noon, I got a terrible cramping pain in my side. I mean, I've had ovulation pain before, but this was really bad! It seems to be hanging around for a few hours (I've taken Pamprin and it seems to be slowly decreasing how intense it is).

What could this be? Should I see a doctor or wait it out? I feel fine except for the pain, no other signs of the hyperstimulation syndrome. Anybody had this happen on Clomid? What was it?

Thanks, GiGi.

Angelpak, let us know what your RE says. I'm always curious about the effects of this drug.

AF is due Thursday for me (I looked at the baby-making calendar- was trying SO hard not to, but we were planning a trip and it couldn't be avoided!) so it's "divert your attention" time for me.

How do you all keep from obsessing about the coming of AF?

Thanks hmaine for the info on the temps. I'm going to get all these questions answered by my RE when I go next month. I'm so glad that I'm not alone in this fertility battle. I was so upset about all this before but realize this happens to so many other women! I agree. Trying to avoid a calendar is nearly impossible and can be so stressful.

hi angelpak, i'm not sure about the temps, as I'm not charting those, but it certainly would make sense that clomid would mess with them.

GiGi- will be keeping my fingers crossed for you that the O pains aren't bad. Just remember that, if they are, they go away!

good luck, misslollipop, with the next step.

I'm in the wait now. Lately I try not to look at a calendar so i don't fixate on when AF might come. But it's tough on Clomid, because my body speaks up a lot more about AF coming that it used to while on it.
