I could share with you the horrors of Damn Clomid – the side effects, the out-of-my-mind madness, the mood swings, etc., but you can find out about all of that here. Basically, any side effect that there is, I had it. It’s hard to remember much of the Damn Clomid time because I truly didn’t feel like myself. My memory earmarks it due to dates: anniversary, 33rd birthday, Halloween, trips to visit clients and Thanksgiving. My main regrets with this medication is that one, time is precious and it was time wasted, and two, the long term effects are just not worth it. Enough about Damn Clomid…
We took a welcome break from medically trying from Thanksgiving to New Years and my goodness, it was wonderful! We made the decision to see one of Oklahoma’s highest regarded fertility specialist in January, there were no meds currently involved and let’s be honest, we were free to be merry as much as we chose (wine, happy hours, celebrations, food, relaxing).
January came sooner than expected, as it always does. We met with the doctor and loved his gentle nature, his supportive nurse and his game plan. As he put it, we were to enjoy being married and he’d worry about the baby stuff. Finally! Someone who understood what we were going through and was willing to carry our burden. Things were finally looking up. We deemed 2011 a year of change, excitement and happiness.
Part five: new year, new beginnings.
