Give me a C L O M I D!

And so it begins. Our journey is officially underway. For the next five days, I'll be taking the drug Clomid. As my doctor indicated at the start of our journey, we're starting back at square one. With it's harmless and unassuming appearance, Clomid apparently packs a punch. Let me remind you the last time I took Clomid I was 25 years old and never really noticed any major side effects - although Kauhi may have a different recolection. Of course a lot has changed since 2000 and my addiction to Google and Web MD has me well informed of potential situations I may find myself in.

Just for grins here's some of the fun I could be looking forward to:

- Mood swings (poor Kauhi)
- Weight gain (really? Like I needed an alternative to food to
pack on the pounds?)
- Depression (impossible ... I have the greatest husband, friends and family to keep me laughing ... most of the time)
- Insomnia (I like staying up late anyway!)

There are others but I thought those were the ones worth mentioning.

Pardon me for a brief TMI moment but we're all adults right? In addition to it's wide variety of side effects, it also comes with some strict rules. I must be sure to take it on days 5-9 of my cycle and then depending how my eggs respond, I may need a
shot to trigger ovulation. That's when the hubby and I "do the deed" - ON DEMAND and we hope for the best!

Who said infertility couldn't be any fun?!
