Back in to the clinic this morning. The good news: the 100 mg seems to be having some effect, as I definitely have some follicles that are getting larger. However my fs still isn’t very happy with them. Her exact words were, “I’m afraid if we stop the Clomid now they’re just going to go [...]

Over my ovaries

So I went to the clinic this morning to see what the end result of my seven days of Clomid had been. Other than feeling like a space cadet for most of the week, I hadn’t noticed any side effects. Then I had this conversation with my ultrasound tech:
Tech (looking at ultrasound with pursed lips): You, [...]
Cautiously optimistic

*Looks oneself over*
No mood swings.
No hot flashes.
No raging hormones leading to emotional outbursts. (Ok, I did end up crying over the sink one morning but that was because I’d picked up my cat to try and keep her from puking on the carpet and she clawed the daylights out of my hand, so I was [...]

My usual doctor wasn’t in today so I saw the head honcho fs. He didn’t seem remotely concerned about my TSH as my free T3 and free T4 were both within normal range (although on the lower side of normal- 11 and 3). He thinks it’s just a question of sorting out the dosage of [...]

I had an appointment with my gp today. It should have been routine- a redo of the pap test from three months ago that the lab botched, and a check on my TSH results.
Except my TSH was high again- over 11. That’s back where it was when I was first diagnosed, so something isn’t working [...]
Moving forward

Well, I’m back. It was a great trip. Q. and I had a lot of fun together; I didn’t temp consistently; I ate too much cheese; I drank too much wine; I didn’t worry about getting pregnant, staying pregnant, any of it. Sadly I didn’t get to become one of those lucky (annoying) people who arrive [...]
