I am officially in the two week wait.
I’m going to throw it out there that Clomid and I do not get along very well. Maybe it was because it has been my first month on it, but either way it has not been kind to me. I’m pretty sure I had just about every side effect possible.
The worst were the hot flashes. Those dang hot flashes kicked my booty! It’s only slightly embarrassing to be standing in a room full of people and suddenly burst into the sweats.
I definitely feel like things have been moving slowly this cycle. In the past my month has flown by! But I’m on CD15 today and I feel like I’ve been stuck here forever. I had a horrible time with the ovulation predictor kits and have no real clue when I actually ovulated (or if I even did) and in the mean time I’m trying not to read too much into what can possibly be pregnancy symptoms. Like the queasy feeling I currently have … is it morning sickness? Or just an impending case of the flu? My typical pre-AF symptoms haven’t shown up yet … is it because I’m pregnant? Or is it because the drugs are messing with my system? I’ve been so exhausted lately. It can’t possibly be because I run myself in a thousand directions. It has to be because I’m pregnant! RIGHT?
I have been told that all bets are off when it comes to Clomid. But alas, here we sit! I check my calendar daily to make sure I counted correctly. And time is moving so slow.
In some good news, I have lost another two pounds, which is somewhat impressive considering I haven’t done much the past couple of week except change my eating habits! That brings me to a total of six pounds lost. I have so much further to go but I’m happy with the small changes!
What kind of side effect, if any, did you have while taking Clomid? Does the time seem to be going slower when you are receiving treatment than it does when you are trying naturally?
