I am trying to conceive. My periods have been very irregular, after stopping Depo Provera about two years ago. I got my period 816 -820 (after taking Provera). I took Clomid days 3-7 and I had blood work done on day 3, which showed everything was fine. Now, I am having cramps and I am seeing a pink discharge, only after urinating. Could this be a side effect from Clomid?

Does Clomid cause spotting?
Question
Answer
Last Updated: July 23, 2013
I cannot say for sure without knowing many more details about your situation and doing a physical exam. Spotting after urination is not a side effect of Clomid. Some women have a small amount of spotting with ovulation, however, and there are many other causes of spotting and pinkish discharge.
