First Time IUI + Clomid - Anybody else??

My husband and I have been TTC for about a yr and a half. We decided to go to dr. a few months ago, and over time found out I was not ovulating and they were worried about his super low count. They wanted to go straight to IVF, but we didn't want to hit that extreme until we felt we had done more. They finally agreed to put me on Clomid and go through with an IUI. I was SOOO excited to see a

on my OPK - my first ever! And then when we went in for IUI, his count was almost 5 times what it was the time before, after being washed it was 27mil compared to the 6 before. The IUI was 6 days ago, and I'm feeling serious tenderness in my breasts and lightheadedness in the afternoons... Could these be crazy early symptoms or are they probably left over from the Clomid? Does anyone know anything about any of this?!?! I'm not supposed to take a hpt for another 12 days, and I'm just wondering if this is normal.... Anyone??

I did the clomid and then they checked me with u/s to see how many follies and when I was going to O and we had iui done on Dec. 16th. Nurse told me to test on NYE Day. I did sneak a test in today and it was negative.
Sometimes I feel like I'm going to start AF and then I also have tender breast, feel bloated.....who knows if its me or the clomid!

Hope you get a BFP!

I just went intoday to have my day 1 ultrasound and picked up my clomid that I will start tomorrow. Im a little nervous and excited all at the same time. I have been a little reading and it seems like my Dr has me on a high dose of clomid. If you dont mind me asking how many mg where you taking?
Also in all my reading that one complaint I have heard about the clomid is that the side effects resemble the same symptons of early pregnacy.

I'm on 50 mg, finished round 2 last week. Testing for ovulation this week. I will tell you this, AF has never been a worse enemy than on Clomid! I had the worst cramps and such a heavy flow, I almost went to the emergency room because I had never experienced anything like it. Wishing better luck for you!!
