I Hate Everyone, It's the Clomid

I hate everyone, I have a perma-frown on my face I suspect the Clomid.

I email my Dr. asking about an alternative to Clomid. She offers Letrozole with a warning that it is not FDA approved. Not as commonly used and she has not used it as often. I ask her to call in a prescription. It took about six weeks, I was driving home one day and I just felt the fog lift. I exhaled and new I was starting to feel better.

I take the test. I take the drugs. I schedule IUI's.

During this time, you are suppose to take it easy. No strenuous exercise except light walking. No heavy lifting. I really took that to heart. Gained some weight. Spent hours on fertility forums. This is a place where people have a lot of questions. Yet you will find no real answers there.

I buy and read Taking Charge of Your Fertility by: Toni Weschler. Love the book. Wonder why they don't teach us this stuff in school. Come to realize that a book can't get you pregnant. Changing your shampoo and deodorant can't get you pregnant. Eliminating BPA and processed foods can't get you pregnant. Taking supplements and using green cleaning supplies can't get you pregnant. It is in gods hands. I listen to my heart.

I have so much blood drawn that the technicians often comment that my veins feel like sinew. They really have to jab to get through the scar tissue. I hurts and I dread it. My heart pounds when a new lab result comes in. I pray that my progesterone levels indicate a health ovulation. (They do)
