Expect mild side effects during Clomid days 1-5. Many women experience hot flashes; these usually feel like sudden warmth spreading across the body, often accompanied by sweating. Drinking plenty of water can help manage this.
Headaches are another common occurrence. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can provide relief. If headaches are severe or persistent, consult your doctor.
Some women report mood swings, including irritability or sadness. Open communication with your partner and support system is crucial during this time. Consider stress-reducing activities like gentle exercise or meditation.
Ovarian enlargement is possible, although usually temporary and resolves after treatment. Your doctor will monitor this through regular ultrasounds. Severe abdominal pain needs immediate medical attention.
Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision or light sensitivity, are relatively uncommon but should be reported to your physician immediately. These are usually temporary and resolve once Clomid is discontinued.
