I am now going to be a Clomid Chick...

So after another failed cycle of Natural trying to get pregnant. I will now start fertility drugs. Starting Tuesday, Clomid will now be my drug of choice. How will it make me feel you ask? Well not like those good street drugs... I will have Hot flashes, irritability and bitchiness (Now doesn't that get you in the mood to have sex?) Some people have visual disturbances... like halo's and trailers.. OHHH doesn't this sound like fun? Oh and who wants to leave out the severe tiredness, How about feeling like your ovaries are going to explode! OH BOY, CAN'T WAIT! Other things are the increased risk of multiple (more than 2) and twins (every woman has a 1 in 60 chance, while I will have a 1 in 10 chance of twins or more) , weight gain (How sexy), Abdominal Pain , discomfort and bloating... (Now how the hell am I going to be in the mood?) And the MOST common Nausea, headaches, and dizziness. Were do you sign up you ask?? Well I am so sorry to have to tell you this, It is club that I don't think any of you want to be a part of. I know I sure as hell don't. I never thought I would be taking drugs to try and have a baby... So on to clomid... Will this be the end or just the begining???

To see or Not to see.. South of the Border

As I sat waiting for the PA in my OBGYN office to come in and check my "follies" (They will be the mature eggs that my ovaries will release)... Cam came in and said I have an Intern may she come in? I of course say yes. Tom is sitting behind me to left, the Ultrasound Machine to my right. I hear him laugh. I turn and ask him what is so funny? He said well no hesitation on letting any one in, Come on in!!! .... Then in hits me... Just how many people in the last 11 months have "SEEN" my unmentionables.... Well let me count the ways..... Humm lets see, you have, Cam and the Assistant, Than Dr D, than the WHOLE OR staff, the PACU staff (I had Two nurses), Dr D again. Dr A and his Assistant, Cam again, the Intern... And the countless "Instruments" along the way... and all the while... I am getting no enjoyment nor payment for my "free shows" ... on the contrary I am paying them... I should start charging admission.. maybe get a tattoo for entertainment purposes for the countless visitors that my "South of the Border" has been hosting.
