So, the past few months have been pretty full on. We finished our reno (yay!), I started my new job (yay!) and I've been generally just trying to relax and be healthy. The plan was always to start treatment again after being in my job for three months and my three month anniversary is this week. Lo and behold, I got my period a few days ago and just like that, I'm back on the fertility treatment train. Or wagon. Or whatever. This will be an IUI cycle if all works out. I mentioned that I didn't enjoy the Clomid side effects to my doctor a while ago and we decided to go with Femera this cycle. My side effects are supposed to be better than on Clomid and apparently Clomid is coming off the market soon. I've been taking it since Day 3 (Friday, today's Monday). On Saturday, I felt nauseous. Yesterday I felt pretty anxious and revved up, especially at night when I took it. Today I woke up late (it's a bank holiday here) feeling really drugged up. I'm tired and a bit blurry. Luckily this I only take this for five days. I anticipate that I'll also need a trigger shot when the time comes. I go back for monitoring on day 13 or 14 (I forget) and if I'm ovulating on the left side (right side's blocked), then I'll probably do the trigger shot and be inseminated the next day. Being back at the clinic made me instantly sad and irritable. I snapped at the nurse (who was a bitch, but still). I am so, so sick of this shit. I just want to be normal. I made an appointment with a therapist that deals with infertility specifically. I feel... ugh. I don't know how people do back to back IVF cycles. It's a lot to put your body through and if you have a job, well... God bless you. Sounds like hell. These hormones really affect me and I'm just taking them for five days. Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing to my long term health with all the shit I've been putting in my body. It can't be healthy. But I really want a baby, so.... I'm turning 37 in a few weeks. How did that happen? My late 30s, officially. I really hope I get pregnant soon. Getting pregnant this soon into my job will be hard but I guess I'm in a tricky position. SIGH! Why can't things be easier??
