I'm
a 35 pre-menopausal, mother of two (used
clomid). I miscarried 2 at 7 weeks
following IVF (so have a history of
fertility drugs).
Symptoms started around September. It
began with nausea and dizziness in the
mornings coupled with severe fatigue.
Can't make it through the day without a
nap (I'm a teacher) before cooking dinner.
I collapse into bed shortly after my
kiddos around 8:30 p.m. Weekend naps don't
seem to rejuvenate me. October brought
continual constipation. Even when I dod
have a BM, I don't ever feel like I've
moved them totally, but can't go anymore.
November I added continual back pain.
December brought lower right quadrant
shooting pain mid-cycle for 2 days.
January same thing but abdominal bloating
(none of my clothes fit) and puffiness in
the face and legs. February had TVUS
showing a an enlarged right ovary with a
small 2 cm cyst. Missed 2 days of work
from pain, 800mg of motrin and heating pad
to be able to function. March follow-up
pelvic MRI - small uterine fibroid (2cm
-been there unchanged since IVF in 2005).
A slightly enlarged Uterus and multiple
"follicles" on the slightly enlarged right
ovary. Based on radiology report (1st
radiologist didn't find fibroid, 2nd one
called cyst follicles), he could not
explain my symptoms. Nothing in the report
was "significant" enough for symptoms.
Wants me to see an internist for IBS.
Thoughts????

Hi! Posted: 04-01-08 04:00am
There are some clinical study reports that
relate usage of Clomid and ovarian
enlargement or ovarian cysts as adverse
event.
Have you been on Clomid before year 2005?
Do you find trouble eating or feeling full
quickly?
Have you noticed urgent or frequent
feelings of needing to urinate?
Are the abdominal complains with changed
bowel movements persisting for more than a
couple of weeks and occurs almost daily or
every day?

I took clomid in 2000 (1 round) and
conceived my 7 year old. I again did 1
round of clomid in 2003 conceived my 4
year old. In 2005 and 2006, we did IVF (I
was the reciever of already fertilized
eggs - surrogate for my brother-in-law).
For receiving I did a lot of estrogen and
some progesterone along with something
else. I get full and then have indigestion
on just a glass of water. I'm not really
nauseous with eating or sick, just super
bloated feeling and terrible indigestion.
(This has been non-stop since late
February). Frequent urination and I had 5
UTIs last year (I'd NEVER had a UTI prior
to that). The bowel changes have been
there since last October with no real
relief and are an almost daily occurance.

Hi, NVAmom! Posted: 05-21-08 03:18am
Sorry, I haven't written to you for a long
period!
How do you feel?
All of your symptoms are very suggestive
for IBS, even fatigue, back pain, feeling
nauseous and sick with indigestion can be
added to the list of symptoms caused by
IBS.
Because, IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion,
(there are few conditions with IBS-like
symptoms), I'll suggest you to ask your
doctor to check you for Celiac disease
that usually have IBS-like symptoms (I'm
suspecting you for Celiac disease, because
you have mentioned that you have puffiness
in the face and legs, and, Celiac disease
causes fluid retention and swelling
especially around the ankles and feet;
untreated Celiac can lead to infertility
in women, lack of menses (menstruation),
spontaneous abortions and low birth weight
infants).
