Clomid Nightmares

Has anyone else had the experience of being on Clomid and having wicked, intense, lifelike nightmares?  Holy sleeplessness, Batman… and I also tend, once a nightmare has begun, to slip back into the same dream over and over, no matter how hard I try to think of pretty, shiny, happy things and wake myself all the way up first.  Makes for a very long night, and a long day following.

I think it’s because of the Clomid, because I take that for five days a month, and those five days are the worst for nightmares.  Within a few days of finishing that month’s course, I settle back down into a more predictable sleep cycle (which is to say, interrupted every few hours by Jacob coming to “snuggle” or Willem doing various slumberous contortions and sound effects… but it’s better than the insomnia I had through much of February).

To round it out, I have a very hard time talking about the nightmares after the fact; as if, because they’re so real and lifelike in my head, I will somehow give them power to actually happen.  Logic be damned, I just refuse to speak certain phrases aloud.  And that means it takes that much longer for me to fully exorcise the dream and get on with my day.

Two more days of Clomid this month… I think I can, I think I can…
