As Michelle said clomid can do crazy things to you. I think I may have eaten less b/c of the GI upset it caused (I was also only a few months into my recovery from surgery for rectal prolapse...that in itself was tough). I do know a lot of women gain weight when taking it, though. I sure was emotional. And that is sooooo not me. I hardly ever cry. And there were times where I would cry for an hour and half straight about hardly anything. So not normal. I can truly say I HATED clomid. I did 3 rounds. I think I was at the highest dose (don't remember...150mg?) by the end. And I still responded very poorly. I THINK I ovulated on the last cycle b/c I did the HCG trigger shot. But my follicle was still quite small. We did IUI with it, but then found out DH has problems...and on we went to IVF. Anyway, it's not a fun drug, but if it works it's worth it. Just remind yourself that this is temporary. You'll get through it. And this is only the first attempt drug. There is a lot of other stuff out there for infertility.
