Well it is official that the 3rd and final round of Clomid did not work. This month was actually the easiest month out of all 3. The 1st month I swore up and down I had no expectations and didn't think I would be upset if the medicine didn't work. Yeah I was a big ole mess. I was deviatated, sad, and angry. Then when I started month number 2 I said the same thing oh I won't be upset this month and I also won't be tricked by the "pregnancy" symptoms. Well my period was 3 days late and I was excited and started letting my mind believe I was actually pregnant. Low and behold the medicine just extended my cycle that month. Then I went through the exact same emotions as the 1st month.
So having my period arrive this month really wasn't a shock. Preston seems to think that I am okay this month because we have a new plan to get pregnant. Which might just be true. Either way I feel that I did pretty good with dealing with things today.
When I was prescribed Clomid I was pretty nervous about the side effects. I have a few friends who have taken Clomid. So I asked them what I should expect when I am on it. I was told mood swings, hot flashes, pregnancy symptoms, being very sick, and no real symptoms at all. I thought great I am going to be one big hot mess for 3 months. I would often ask Preston are you really ready for all this? He of course said yes.
Month 1: no symptoms until the very end and I swore I had every pregnancy symptom.
Month 2: I think that was a hot flash?
Month 3: okay that was a hot flash!
The only thing I can really complain about Clomid besides the occasional hot flashes are the horrible 1st day of your period cramps. I am doubled over and practically in tears because of the pain. I will even stand in the shower with hot water for a good 25-30 mins trying to make myself feel better. Tonight was one of those nights (they always happen when I lay down or am trying to sleep).
Preston and I made the decision we will be trying 3 rounds of IUI. I put a call into our Dr on Tuesday to tell him our decision. We still have a few more questions for him so we are waiting on a call back from him. I will probably call again tomorrow and see if we can talk.
Alright that's all for now. It's midnight and I have to be up early for PT.
