Today is already cycle day 7, and therefore my last day of this round of those tiny little rage inducing pills, other known as Clomid.  I have to say that this cycle on Clomid has brought out the worst symptoms.  The night sweats have reared their ugly head morning, noon, evening and night.  I guess it’s kind of like when they say morning sickness, and so I’ve heard and read, it’s more like morning noon and night sickness.  The mood swings…oh the mood swings.  Seriously, one minute I couldn’t be in a better mood and the next, I’m wondering what could possibly be so bad that I’m so sad.  It really sucks.  **Queue the masses of women telling me that I’m not alone in my Clomid symptomology.**

I still say I’ll do it over and over and over again to reach our goal of becoming Mommy and Daddy.  Whatever it takes.

So as I’m so excited to be about to take my last pill this morning, right after I finish breakfast (remember my full stomach B.S. from yesterday?), I open the tiny little blister thingy and….ooooppps!  Right into the garbage pail.  Little sucker slipped right outta there faster than I could have ever reacted to snatch it up!  (LMAO…I said ‘snatch’.  Sorry if I’ve offended anyone by using that word, but there’s kind of a little joke that I won’t repeat right now and I just think the word is extremely funny.  Kind of like when someone refers to a ‘box’…Kim, Fran, I know you are rolling!)  Once again, I digress, but what would a post be without one by this point, right?  So the pill lands in the garbage pail, smack in the middle of a puddle of egg yolks that I dumped in there just 20 minutes sooner while making my egg white omelet.  I contemplated washing it off, but that would have been absolutely disgusting, so I said to myself…”Shit, now what??”  Then I light bulb popped out of the top of my head and I remembered that I still had leftovers from the last cycle since my GYN always called in a 2 Rx’s for me at a time!  And last month I cut the package open and managed to cut into the pill itself and turn it into dust.  So there were a few extras!  Done…that was easy!

So while it’s probably too early to be feeling any kind of aches or pains down there around my ovarian area…last night I felt some cramping.  May very well just be all in my head, but I hope it’s because it’s “working”.  I read that taking Clomid on days 3-7, results in more follicles, while taking it on days 5-9 results in more mature follicles.  So maybe I have tons of little ones forming and they will now begin to mature…YIPPEEEEE.  Monday can’t come soon enough.  I know they won’t be ready to trigger come Monday, but at east we will get to see where they are at this point.

See you soon!
