Starting Clomid!!!

Okay, so I guess I need to apologize for not updating sooner. But, this week was Christmas and all, so hopefully you’ll cut me some slack. J

I took my last provera pill on Tuesday, December 17. The side effects I talked about during my last post continued through the end. I didn’t take too much notice of when they stopped because I almost immediately started cramping. For me, it isn’t unusual to start cramping 1-2 weeks before I even start my period, so I thought I was in for a long wait.

But, to my surprise, I started spotting on Friday and Saturday (December 20 and 21). Aunt Flo arrived for real on Sunday (December 22) and I met with my doctor on Monday (December 23). He gave me a prescription for clomiphene (Clomid) and told me to stat them on cycle day 4…which was CHRISTMAS! Woohoo! Lol Merry Christmas to dear husband and me!

So anyway. The plan is that I take Clomid (100mg) for 4 days (cycle days 4, 5, 6, and 7). I have a follow up appointment on Tuesday (cycle day 10 / December 31…New year’s eve!). I’m going to get another vaginal ultrasound (yeah, I had to have one on CD 2 when I went in for my appointment which was a little gross, so there was that…luckily it was over quickly and I appreciated that they checked for cysts before we started) to make sure my ovaries aren’t being overstimulated, and as long as that one looks okay, I’ll get an HSG booster shot (I believe that’s what it is called). Then I’ll have to come in for another u/s on Friday

Whew. So, basically I’m going to be living in my doctor’s office over the next two weeks. I’m glad I’m off all of those days (except for the Friday appointment, but oh well, I’ll make it work).

I’m SO SO SO excited. Starting to feel hopeful again (although I also hope that doesn’t come back to bite me in the ass…lol).
