Hi Clandara! Good to hear from you. I hope with all the hectic stuff you are still enjoying everything!
I have had a rough couple of days. We decided to go to the Zoo on Sunday but while we were walking around I started to feel terrible, so we went home. That night I couldn't sleep, I was in so much pain. In the morning DH took me to the hospital and it turned out I had some internal bleeding. I had multiple cysts on both of my ovaries, the u/s tech said "tons" and one of them was bleeding, which is where the pain was coming from. I had something similar a few years ago, but this seemed worse. Anyway, thanks Clomid... I was out of commission for 2 days. Today is better but not great. The ob/gyn that consulted on my case at the hospital got me all depressed too because she said that based on the description from the tech (who admittedly wasn't looking at the size of the follies, especially not in regards to fertility) the 100 mg of Clomid wasn't enough to give me eggs large enough to conceive! Afterwards though I reviewed the report and the numbers were listed in cm, not the usually mm, so I think she may have overlooked that. It was very depressing to hear her say that, especially because I haven't had an issue with ovulating prior to the Clomid and Clomid is supposed to make it better... She started talking about IUI and IVF, which was scary because she said IUI usually costs $1000 per injection and IVF is about $10,000 per cycle. She also said, "obviously, there are steps in between, but just so you know the IUI and IVF options are available"... Thanks! Just what I wanted to hear, she didn't ask me about my history at all or even if I had ever been pregnant before.
Also, during the 8- 9 hours I was there, I saw a woman having a miscarriage at 14 weeks, a teen who still lived at home who was about 5 months along and I ended up sitting next to a woman who was just told she was 7 weeks and a couple of days and the baby's HB was very strong (she asked specifically about the HB, like she was in shock, it made me think she has had multiple miscarriages). I really wanted to say congratulations and hug that last one, but I wasn't entirely sure she was happy as she burst into tears and I just couldn't tell.
Anyway, I am back at work today, and DH and I have that romantic getaway on Friday, so we are going to go along with the cycle as we would have before that doc said anything. The scan showed my uterus and endometruim were good and like I said there were multiple cysts/follies on each ovary of varying sizes, so I think I will choose to remain positive about the cycle and go with the plan my doc outlined if it turns out the Clomid just didn't work for us at all.
How is everyone else holding up?
