The experiment 2

So an update... I have been on Clomid for two days....what can I tell from two days...well, the first day I took it someone made me really mad at work and I wasn't very happy with them. Although, those feelings could have also stemmed from being in the middle of a cycle. ;)

Today wasn't too bad. I think it would make me a lot more emotional than normal if I wasn't taking red raspberry leaf pills. I don't know if they hinder the effectiveness, but for me it really helps temper the changes that I am usually so sensitive to. I know, I sound like a broken record. I feel like I write this in EVERY entry, but that's just the way it is.

I am a little more ornery in the evening, but that could just be from a super long day on my feet.

So, we shall see what happens. Only three more days to go on the clomid. My doctor also has me taking 2mg of dexomethasone, which is a type of steroid. I'm sure it is supposed to help with inflammation of some sort, but I'm not sure what...

Still no appetite, and nothing sounds good. Well...occasionally microwave popcorn sounds good...ironically enough.

Apprehensive...

Tomorrow is a big day...kind of... tomorrow I start clomid. I am a little apprehensive about this. I have heard good things and bad things about this medicine. I took femara a while back...about a year ago...WOW, and it wasn't too bad. I am hoping the clomid will be the same way. WE SHALL SEE.

Hopefully it doesn't turn me into a psycho maniac. I am hoping. I hope it is as easy to take as the femara was. I'm wondering about now why I didn't just take femara again instead of trying clomid. I already know that my body does okay on femara, and tolerates it fairly well...hmm...

The experiment 1

So, I was going to label all of these, "glucophage #..." but this isn't really about glucophage. I am still taking one pill a day of the glucophage and that has been working pretty well. Since my body is getting more used to it every day, I may try taking two pills a day again and see what happens.

I was taking the birth control pills for one month, but that rapidly changed by Sunday. I felt my emotions spiral out of control Sunday. They were changing on Friday, Saturday was passable, and then Sunday....WOW. The only way I can describe it...it feels like someone is splitting apart my brain and I have NO control over the emotions that result from it.

So, I made it two weeks taking the birth control with red raspberry leaf pills. Normally I would have lasted less than a week. I decided it was time to not be on the birth control. So, I didn't take it last night. Even not being on it one day helped immensely.
