Clomed

I have not had a period for 2 years and my estrogen levels are very low althugh I am not goinmg thrugh menapause. I am 29 years old. The doctor first tried giving me progesterone and I still didn't have a period and then I tried clomed and had a period in July. It made me feel so terrible, stomach pain, bloating etc. So I didn't take it again and didn't have a period again. I was afraid the bloating and pain would be permanent. I decided to go on it again and it is starting to get bad again. The doctor said it happens because my estrogen is low and when I take the clomed it goes way up which causes my ovaries to swell. Anyone else have anything like this and did you eventually get pregnant? I am sitting here feeling like ^%%&*%^%$%! and hope it is all worth it and really doesn't set me back or stay permanently. I have been gluten free now for about 3 1/2 months and things are definetly starting t improve. :(

Hi -

I am late for your original post, but I just joined the forum this evening. I am on my fourth round of clomid. Every single time, I had a different reaction to the medication. The first one was purely emotional with very few physical symptoms. My third round - I was incredibly bloated. Called the doctor who told me to put my feet up and rest as he was worried about overstimulation of the ovaries. This last round made me quite dizzy.

I know it's frustrating when you want to be pregnant and all you get is a bunch of nasty side effects!

I was gluten-free when my first child was conceived. For some reason, I went back on the gluten when she was born. Have been trying to conceive a second child for almost two years now. I just recently heard about the gluten/fertility connection and am once and for good gluten-free.

Best of luck to you. Clomid is not fun.

If it helps you at all I took clomid for my first 2 pregnancies. The first time for 2 1/2 years and the second time just once. The third time I got pregnant all on my own. It was so worth it, just hang in there!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
