3/28/2017 0 Comments the eagle has landed (part 2)Yeah, science! To be honest, I'm not that revved up about this cycle, I think I'm just so tired and hormonal that my energy is very low. That being said, we started IUI #1 (hopefully the last!) yesterday when I got my period. My baseline ultrasound is tomorrow along with bloodwork. To throw a wrench in the plans, I have one blocked tube so the hope is that I ovulate on the side that's open.
I'll be taking Clomid starting tomorrow, which I'm feeling a bit worried about because I feel like I've already been so down since the progesterone. It's been really difficult to motivate myself since then and I've been very weepy and down. I really think it's the progesterone. So I'm hoping the Clomid doesn't mess my head up too much because god, how much more can I take?? (From a Harvard newsletter article: "Clomid, frequently prescribed because it improves ovulation and increases sperm production, may cause anxiety, sleep interruptions, mood swings, and irritability in women. (These side effects have not been documented in men.) Other infertility medications may cause depression, mania, irritability, and thinking problems." ) I think I can handle anxiety if that's all it is, but the depression cause by the progesterone was the worst thing of all for me. Oh, and I sent my cousin a message to say congrats on the pregnancy and she told me that after her mc, she's on progesterone now. So I got a reminder that you have no idea what other people are going through. Good to remember. Hopefully tomorrow goes well!
