I am an artist with love for a musical artist trying to conceive an artissy musically inclined baby.
My love and me have been TTC for about two years. We both have been up and down. For the longest time the doctors thought I had endo and when we decided to TTC we tried for a year then my OB/GYN thought I was perfect candidate for Laparoscopic surgery. We thought that when I awoke that the problem would be solved but needless to say, that was not the problem. So after my love got checked, which he is perfect, my DR put me on Clomid. So I just started and I hope there is a brighter side. I have struggled with depression and just feeling like it just wasn’t meant for me. But I am trying to stay positive.
I am a step -mother (full-time) to five wonderful children. I would just love to have one of our own. I think that's what makes it hard sometimes too. Seeing how beautiful his children are and what a good dad he is, and what it is like being a mom. It is a constant internal battle to TTC with no luck. Month after month of AF coming.
We are (even the kids) hoping the Clomid works! Good luck to everyone!
My journey!
Clomid Diary: For anyone who is looking to know about side effects, etc..
Taking 50mg CD5-9
Started 1st round of Clomid, 06/30/09
Did not have any real side effects while taking Clomid, I actually was in a really good mood. But got irriated more easily.
CD 14-16 started having O-Pain
2 - 11 DPO & CD 18-27 Had bad side effects, made me feel like I was having early PP symptoms.
Some of my side effects:
Cramping (minor & frustrating), One night woke up with bad ones. Headaches, Bloating, Breast got really sore (more than usual) & nipples too..oh my gosh they hurt! My stomach even became sore around 8-11dpo that I could not sleep on it. (This is really when I thought I might be getting my BFP) Also started getting really quesy, and nothing looked good to eat. Some foods I usually like made me sick. I was getting evening heatburn and really gassy. On 11 dpo I even started to have a metallic taste in my month. For two days my legs got crampy and muscles were sore.
This seriously messed with me head, emotional roller coaster. Am I Pregnant or Am I not. Took two EPT but got BFN!
I started to loose hope around 13 & 14 dpo, CD 27 & 28!! Bad mood swings, angry to crying in less then a minute. That sucked!
Around that same time all those side effects or stuff going on with my body, disappeared and I felt like I normally do when AF is going to start.
Then right on schedule Af shows up (which by now I was glad to get started with a new cycle) So my hope has come back and now the dance begins again.
New cycle: 07/25/09
Taking Clomid 50mg CD 5-9
Day One of Clomid: 07/29/09
Headache!
