This morning I woke up while having a small orgasm (it happens, right?). Then later in the morning after taking my dog for a walk, nothing that would get my heart rate up other than walking up the giant hill at the end of my street, I felt wet, down there, wiped and saw pink blood. On cycle day 8.
AF usually lasts 3-4 days, with the last day, either cycle day 4 or 5 mostly just spotting. AF ended 4 days ago, on cycle 4. So why am I spotting pink on cycle day 8?
This cycle I was prescribed 100mg of clomid, an increase from 50 mg. I took my last pill yesterday, on cycle day 7.
The other day, just 1-2 days into clomid treatment, I was swimming laps and felt a twinge on my right side, nothing painful, just an awareness that I do have working ovaries in there. The next day or so I felt bloated, with an increased awareness of my ovaries. Even gentle yoga, like moving from plank to downward dog and stepping my foot forward into a lunge, felt too strenuous. Maybe I am a bit tender. Tender sounds normal, after all my ovaries are being stimulated, but it seems a bit early for enlarged ovaries?
The spotting is confusing, as well. It is not a side effect listed on my clomid therapy handout provided by my clinic. Lightheadedness, or dizziness, is a side effect listed on my handout. After discovering the spotting, I hopped in the shower. And then almost passed out. To be honest, the spotting freaked me out.
Has anyone experienced mid-cycle spotting while on clomid? I didn't find anything helpful online, other than call your Dr, which I did and am waiting for a callback. I'm sure it's nothing, and my u/s follicle check is Tuesday, so if there is anything there, like a cyst or something, we will see it.
Meanwhile, I am skipping swimming laps this evening and will take it easy over the weekend. Fingers crossed that everything looks good on the ultrasound for ovulation and insemination next week!

That is really weird. I hope you get some answers from your doctor. I've never had spotting mid cycle on Clomid. I have, however, had all sorts of twinges, etc. pretty early on with it.
Let us know what you find out and take it easy!
No clue on spotting from clomid, hope your doc can shed some light. I hope all these twinges and such mean the clomid is working well!!! And it definitely sounds like some rest is in order.
