Work is kicking my ass. I'm not joking. It's amazing how during a fun weekend, two days speed by in the blink of an eye, but during half a workday, an entire lifetime goes by.
ANYway. I've started the Clomid, last night, I'm not even worrying about side effects this time. If they happen, ok, if they don't, fantastic. It really doesn't matter. I just want this to work so badly.
I haven't even started considering IVF yet and I already feel like a drug queen - this round I'm taking three different drugs using three different methods.
One thing I liked about the last IUI was that for the first half of the cycle, things were so busy. Remembering to take the Clomid, going in for the ultrasounds, doing the HCG shot, then doing the IUI. Then for another 4 or 5 days I was preoccupied with more HCG shots, but then ... nothing. It was like just hanging in space, wondering, trying to pretend I wasn't waiting for something in order to make the waiting more bearable.
Not that almost anyone reading this needs a description of the 2ww.
Anyway, besides the obvious reason that I'm happy about the progesterone because I'm hoping it will make a difference and cover more bases and maybe be the magical thing we've been missing, I'm also happy that I'll have have something to DO during the 2ww. I'll feel like I'm somehow contributing, helping things along, keeping myself busy.
I'll probably also be more pissed off and depressed if it doesn't work. Because what the hell, what in the world do you want from me?! (<----you = the universe)
congrats on the beginning of a new cycle. i hope adding the progesterone does the trick for you.
ReplyDeletedid you have side effects from clomid before? i feel like i didn't really, but i took it before bed so maybe i slept through them....
Good luck, hon! I'm sending prayers, good vibes and crossing things for you! Have a nice weekend!
