Just say "NO!"

Just say "No!" to drugs! I am done! Done with the Clomid. Four cycles. This cycle was double the dose, triple the hot flashes! I am relieved to be done with all of the hormones. As if I didn't have enough already... excess can mess you up! I'm hoping to find my sanity again (yeah, right) and to start wearing pajamas to bed again. I have to sleep naked as to not self ignite from the hot flashes.

Richard and I had a great weekend. We had lots of fun trying to catch that egg, unfortunately, the egg did not want to come out and play. Sperm can live for up to 5 days inside the female body, so I guess technically we aren't out of the game, but I'm not feeling hopeful. I have not even gotten a + OPK yet... so the big O is still days off. So much for double the dose of Clomid. I will have blood drawn on the 21st to confirm ovulation, then I will be asking my OB for a referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist. I think we may try a few IUIs. We will just have to get all of the details.

Well that is all there is to report. I'll let you know when I ovulate. Well see then if there is any chance for a baby this month.

Hey Friend,

I sense your fun weekend...but discouragement too. I can only imagine the tension you have felt as it did not seem like the eggie was coming out to play. I know that the waiting and wondering game is hard. I have been thinking of you all day.

I'm sure it was a tough decision to make whether to stop taking the Clomid or continue. I'm sorry it did not work for you. I'll continue praying! Love ya.
