Clomid

                                             CLOMID

The miracle pill for many. The side effects are reportedly awful if you happen to get them. Thankfully, I had only mild side effects. I skipped the hot flashes and nausea by taking it at night before bed. I did have a dizzy feeling for about 3 days after the last pill. The dizziness is probably the cause of the headache as well. Aside from that, I felt pretty good. It was a scary thing though knowing I could get hot flashes at any moment. That was the last thing I wanted while sitting at work in a blazer and dress pants, where some days it's already warm and humid. Currently, taking some gummy vitamins for folic acid as well. I can't take prenatals with all that extra iron, they make me nauseous so gummy's it is!

Positive ovulation test yesterday afternoon- so hopeful that I will ovulate sometime today which is cd15! If I have a 26 day cycle- that gives me an LP of 11 days which is SO much better than 8-9 days.

I have to call my doctor once I ovulate to schedule my 21 day progesterone check. If it's low, we either up the Clomid for next cycle or we start using progesterone supplements. She didn't want to start me on the supplements right away because it would be a long 14 weeks of having to insert them every day, and I may not even need them.

I swear everyone and their brother is pregnant. That is, everyone but me. I know it could be SO much worse, but it's still hard to swallow when you're trying to be happy for those who are pregnant (especially those who have struggled), but you're also hearing some complain about how much it sucks to be pregnant.
