Down The Rabbit Hole

Sorry for the lack of posts but I’ve been too busy HAVING HOT FLASHES.

I just took my last Clomid pill for this cycle, and the past two days have been very very warm, to say the least. I’ll just be sitting there, minding my own business, when I feel my face get hot and suddenly it’s like someone cranked up the heat in the room to 90 degrees. I can only imagine how I look - fanning myself frantically, pulling off layers of clothes. Last night we were visiting our friends Michael and Christine, and, as a testament to our friendship, they kept me supplied with ice packs all night. Love those guys
I haven’t been sleeping well, because I start burning up, kick all the covers off, then in a couple minutes, turn freezing cold and pull them back on. Wash, rinse, repeat. All night long.

Luckily I’m not having any of the horribly emotional side effects I heard about. Knock on wood. I don’t know if those will show up later or not, but at least for the time being I’m OK. I had one short, five minute burst of teariness yesterday afternoon. I think that was more about being tired than anything else, but I’m sure the hormones helped.

I guess this means that this crap is doing what it’s supposed to. Hormones are surging, SOMETHING is happening, so I guess that’s good. I go in for an ultrasound next Friday to look for follicles, then it’s up to Hawk and I to fertilize that sucker. Keep your fingers crossed for us! I could really do without another round of this stuff.
