Well, I did take progesterone last month. Wow! I just finished taking it last week, and it was not fun. That was the first time taking medication, that I actually felt all of the side effects. I was dizzy constantly, tired about 30 minutes after taking it, and occasionally nauseated. Not too mention the aches and pains I constantly felt in my legs and elbows. It was horrible! My pregnant sister was surprised how much my symptoms matched hers. The good news is, my period started the day after I took my last pill. So, on day 4 of my period, I went in for yet another vaginal ultrasound. Those are a lot easier now. My doctor started me on Clomid, and if all goes well, I could be doing artificial insemination on the 22nd. I am so nervous for some reason. I guess we've just been trying so long, that I keep telling myself to not get my hopes up, but it's hard not to. M family is doing a family fast this Sunday, and praying that we will be able to do the procedure, and that it will be successful.
I guess another reason I am worried, is because I don't know the cost of all this. We have good insurance though. It should pay 50%. We're just hoping to get some confirmation on that.
Not only did I start Clomid on Monday, but I also got a cold. Not knowing how medicines would affect the clomid, I decided not to take anything till today. I finally took an allergy pill, and some Tylenol. The Tylenol however, has not done much. I have had a migraine, back pain, and neck pain all day. I can't believe how bad everything hurts. All I have been doing the past few days, is lying around the house.
I'm not so mad about all the pains though. It's a small cost, to be able to finally have children. The first of many sacrifices I will make for them. What does scare me, is possible long term side effects. I just get worried about what all of this is doing to my body long term. I must say though, I really like my doctor. She is moving everything along really fast, which is scary and exciting at the same time. This time next month, I could very well be pregnant!
