Progesterone

I am taking 100 mg of Prometrium 3x a day. It is making me so tired, a little nauseous, and I feel like I am hungry even after a full meal. 

Please work, Please

Today was my second Intra Uterine Insemination but this time we added the drugs into the mix. I have definitely had side effects: bloating like crazy, constant cramping, weight gain, orneriness, acne, and a headache I can't seem to get rid of. Hopefully it is all worth it.

Another Sunday morning appointment for another ultrasound on day 10. Lining 7.4 right follicle 23 and left follicle 18. I am feeling and look so bloated.

Some Like It Hot

I literally woke up wet and sweating Tuesday night from the blasted clomid. The hot flashes didn't really start until 48 hours after starting the clomid but then they came with a vengeance.

I finished the clomid (days 3-7) and went in for an ultrasound. I had low measurements for the lining 4.0 but a follicle size 18 on the right and a follicle size 13 on the left.

Clomid, I dread you

Today is Day 3. The dreaded start of clomid 50 mg a day.

Long Shot

Started my period. I know it was a long shot to get pregnant, but even all this together would have been an easy process if it had just worked. Also, the test results of my egg quality came back and it does not look good. My AMH numbers are low, so low that the Dr. gave me a 2 - 16 % chance of getting pregnant again. Long shot indeed.

Artificial what?

Bright and early on a Sunday morning we head to the fertility clinic. I forgot how long the whole process takes. We did leave and eat breakfast between appointments. I had seen a sitcom that teased about how a woman was eating lemons in hopes of conceiving a girl. No idea if there is any truth to the wives tale, but I did order lemonade as my drink, just in case.

After the final procedure they say to lay on the table for 15 minutes. I wait 20, again just in case.
