Kristi, It is very possible that this problem is related to the Clomid. Clomid blocks the estrogen feedback from the ovary to the hypothalmus/pituitary. This results in a significant increase in FSH/LH, which in turn results in more ovarian estrogen production. This, in turn could result in your symptoms... Lynn
