Updates, Updates, Updates!

     Alright, folks.  It's Thursday night and I know several of you know that I went back to the doctor today to get the results of my THS and prolactin tests back.  And they came back : NORMAL!  I was so thrilled.  Knowing that helped get through the rest of the uncomfortable appointment which included a nurse tech and two female interns/med students ALONG WITH my doctor (yikes).

     After spending 30 minutes trying to find my lady parts on the ultra sound (trying to spare you any gory details ;) ) he finally said that things looked okay, but I may need a *little* extra help with ovulating.  So, he prescribed 50 mg of clomiphene (clomid).  This basically gives me a better environment for ovulation so the natural part can happen more easily.  This also means that I will be going to the doctor during my cycle for ultrasounds to make sure things are working how they should be.  He also left saying "A little exercise never killed anyone either..." and he's lucky I like him or he may not have liked my response :)  So, with that, I'm asking every single one of you to keep me accountable to that.  Because he is right, and my future baby is totally worth it!

      So, then I get home and start looking up things about clomid.  Let me just tell you: it is terrifying!  Reading about all the hormonal ups and downs, the hot flashes, and the down right nastiness that is surely to come has me a bit frightened.  So anyone who is to run into me in a month or two and I'm hateful, an early apology from this soon to be crazy clomid lady!
