RNMommy - did you have some weird symptoms suggesting your hormones were not right?
Well, my AF has been weird for a while now. But over the past year its gotten worse and more irregular. And theres been a couple of times my husband swore I was preggers even though I kept telling him no. LOL!!!
I was starting to get moody, having hot flashes (but not terrible ones by any means) and I was getting more and more wiry blonde hairs on my chin. The hair on my chin alone was driving me nuts!!!!
I just figured it was because I was getting older not because my hormones were that out of whack. But when my GYN was questioning me during the exam, he asked me if I was getting the chin hair, hot flashes, etc. And when I said yes he told me that I was more than likely anovulatory and it was causing me to have menopause-like symptoms. Not fun!!!! So hes in the process of fixing me. LOL!!!! Hopefully it works!
He asked me what our plans were as far as starting a family. He said that we could have left it untreated and it really wouldn't harm me, he could put me on birth control pills to regulate my cycle but it probably wouldn't help with the menopause-like symptoms, or we could do the Clomid.
When I told him that we wanted a baby, He said "Clomid it is then".
He started me at 50mg and told me if it didn't work first cycle he would bump it up to 100mg for next cycle.
