I've been struggling with Secondary Infertility. I conceived my first two VERY quickly, and we've now been trying for 11 months for a 3rd. I took Clomid for the first this month during my period, and I'm now on day 25 of my cycle....just waiting for a period or a positive! Anyway, over the past several days, I have been EXHAUSTED....probably more exhausted than I've ever felt!! I sleep 8-9 hours a night, but wake up feeling like I didn't sleep a wink. I can barely get through the day! I've been exercising more lately, so I'm not sure if that's a factor. But I used to bounce and run to my workout classes, and this past week, I've literally had to drag myself there. I've also been feeling SO emotional. Snapping at my poor kids and hubby, feeling like I could cry at the drop of a hat. I'm not sure if these could be pregnancy symptoms....OR if I'm just starting to feel the stress and pressure and exhaustion that comes with infertility? I've been taking prenatals ALL along, too. I am going to get my thyroid checked just to cover my bases if I'm NOT pregnant this month. Also, I eat a healthy diet and do not need to lose weight. I'd love to hear your experiences with this. THANKS mommas!!!!!!
You mentioned that you have been working out more lately. Have you upped your caloric intake to supply your body with the extra it needs from the exercise? I felt much the same as you descirbe when I upped my exercise (considerably) but didn't adjust my calories. Fingers crossed that your prego!
could be clomed, could be pregnancy symptoms, could be just plain old
pms. Never know until you get a postive pregnancy sign or a positive period. I know its hard when you really want to get pregnant. We tried for about 1 1/2 years before we were able to be pregnant....
I felt that way while on clomid. It could just be the side effects of that.
That is just how I reacted to Clomid.
to me it sounds like pregnancy!! i have been dealin w depression i am 16 wks preg an trust me you will definitely know if your depressed! if u have anymore questions message me!!!
Don't rule out that it is side effects from the Clomid. Clomid made me a raging hormonal *@%$. I am sure it is still in your system. The Clomid (even in small doses) is very powerful stuff. It could also be a little bit of depression, just because of the emotions with trying to conceive. The exhaustion could be early pregnancy symptoms or depression symptoms. I would wait it out and see what happens this cycle. Make sure and mention these symptoms to your doctor before you start another round of Clomid. Best of luck.
