Clomid,Sweet Clomid

Oh, how I wish it will work!! Started my period on Nov 14th. Cycle day 3 which is tomorrow is when I'll start taking Clomid. I read somewhere that almost 50% of people who take it get pregnant in the first 6 cycles. Now maybe that % doesn't include PCOS'ers or those with diabetes and I doubt all 50% actually stay pregnant and not miscarry, but I'll go with those statistics out of sheer hope anyway. Dr. Crider told me to expect headaches and hot flashes as I take the Clomid, but nothing can be worse than the GI issues I have to deal with on Metformin. We still haven't told very many people what we're doing, but what better Christmas present to my and Chad's family than to tell them I'm expecting. Almost forgot, Dr. Crider wanted me to come in for an ultrasound so he could measure my cysts. Guess I'll call there tomorrow, and hope to get an appointment. We will see . . . . . . . . .

October 22nd

I had my appointment with Dr. Crider. It was supposed to be a well woman exam but when he saw I was trying to get pregnant, we ended up talking about that instead. He re-ordered all my bloodwork and said he couldn't see any reason why I couldn't get pregnant on my own. If all my bloodwork came back ok, he is going to put me on Clomid. I got a letter in the mail over the weekend that said my bloodwork confirmed PCOS, that my medication was adequate and we would discuss Clomid tomorrow. I've eaten a ton of candy and I know I've gained some weight back, so it will be interesting to find out what my A1C will be and if I will have to start from scratch again with the old "diet and exercise thing" again.
