Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Support Group
Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell) mass of the body. Primary polycythemia occurs when excess erythrocytes are produced as a result of a proliferative abnormality of the bone marrow. Secondary polycythemia is caused by increases of erythropoietin that result in an increased production of...
Hello all! I have joined this support group because I feel as though I have no where else to turn. None of my friends are understadning what I am going through and it's really hard to explain. My husband and I have been trying to concieve for a year now. I'm on my second cycle of clomid and I don't think that it worked. But it's side effects are really decieving. I wake up every morning sick to my stomach. My breasts are really tender, have been for over a week now. The headaches are aweful! I have one of those everyday as well. My vision has been blurry and I gained weight. And also lost a significant amount of hair and cramps on and off all day. Has anyone else had this many side effects with clomid? I know that everyone says that you shouldn't be stressed out when you're trying to concieve, but honestly, how can you not? I don't know if taking Clomid is really worth it if I'm not getting pregnant. I don't know if my body thinks it is or not either. Has anyone else taken clomid and concieved with PCOS and taking metformin 1500mg/d?? THANKS!!!

I had horrible side effects on chlomid...migraines and insane hot flashes...unfortunately it did not work for me...but it does for many so dont give up. Are you on metformin also?

I too had numerous side effects,but my hubby would say the worst was the insane mood swings. It took me 8 mths of taking Clomid and met. to conceive. Just hang in there!!!! The side effects of taking it become lost in the wind when you take that test and it's positive!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
