I've now been on Clomid for 2 months. Apparently I also need to go back to school since I thought that I would start this a bit later. However, after my first blood test after my cycle started, it was determined that my hormone levels were a bit off. Now, I'm swinging high and living large. Next month, if we are still unsuccessful, I will be getting the Novarel shot. It was explained to me that while the Clomid helps stimulate the ovaries, the Novarel will help push them out so they can meet up with some hunks down the street. Well, that was my interpretation anyway.
These first two rounds of Clomid were rough. I found myself moody and cranky, quite the common side effect I've been told. Well, trying to explain that to a husband who works constantly and wants a happy wife when he comes home is a different situation. I have been more conscious of my actions and I do know when they happen. At least I'm willing to admit that. It's been a trying time, but I'm definitely still in the game.
Although this post is a bit lighthearted, I have to say that I'm growing more and more uneasy. Accompanying the shot would be IUI or intra-uterine insemination, or artificial insemination. After that, well, is the big in-vitro fertilization. Sure, I still have a plan, but I just don't know how much more I can take of this. It's frustrating and I'm unsure of how my body will react or if it will be painful. At this point, we've been trying for over a year and the end result is to become pregnant. I'm destined to be in some pain, so I guess this is just preparing me for it. Nonetheless, I'm ready to stop taking the medicine and crawl into a hole.
