Managing Cramping While Trying to Conceive: Is It Normal with Clomid?

Question
My Husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 1 year now.  We have an 8-year-old that took about 6 months to concieve.  I have been on clomid for the past 6months, we have done everything right.  I am hopeful this is the month, but I have cramps already, and I am not due to start menastration until Jan. 30.  Are cramps normal with this drug, or should I prepare myself for another round of clomid, and a trip to a specialist?

Answer
Cindy,

The cramping could be completely normal.  Without more information, it's impossible to say.  I know how frustrating this is, but you'll just have to wait and see.  Be hopeful for the best, but prepare for a visit to a reproductive endocrinologist.


Best,
Catherine
