Clomid

Ahh, Clomid...

As this is now my second cycle on Clomid, I feel that I am becoming a bit of an expert! Ha!!

Everyone who takes it could have their own unique set of side effects or even none at all. So in case anyone of my readership ever has to take it, here is what I know...

For me, I really can't complain about side effects. Perhaps I could blame it for the fact that I worry to much, but seeing how I have worried by habit my whole life, and I haven't been on Clomid for the last 26 years, I suppose it's not the culprit for it! :) I am working on not worrying so much, because like Craig at Hope says, "Worrying is just negative meditation". And who needs that, right? Anyway, the only side effect I've had on it is that it just makes me hot, hot, hot. I have actually had a few hot flashes similar to what I think is experienced in menopause. Sam has been very tickled at me.... there was a time in Target when I was looking to buy a new mascara. All of a sudden I was so stinking hot! I found a mascara I wanted to buy and promptly began fanning myself with the cardboard container thing it came in. So, that's it... just being hot... not too bad!!

This cycle I do not think I am going to ovulate. I think this because it's day 18, and my ovulation kit is still saying that I am in the low fertility phase, which is completely abnormal for this point in the cycle. It's kind of interesting... I was so worried about this whole process the first cycle. I was very concerned about the medicine working in a timely manner. But, this time, even when I am seeing signs that it's not, I am okay with it. It's all going to work out in God's time, anyway. So, life is good! I'm just so thankful for all the big and small blessings in my life! I am planning to go on with the next two more cycles on the meds. If nothing has happened by then, I plan to take a cycle or two off before my dr. doubles my dosage. It seems like my head and my body would be ready for a little break!
