Back Into the Ring with Clomid

I've spent weeks waiting and anticipating yesterday's appointment with my obstetrician, trying to organize my thoughts and questions, wondering how it would go and what my obstetrician would say. Weeks of being nervous and I was so incredibly anxious as I ran five flights of stairs to his office - then nothing, the anxiety faded as I sat waiting for the nurse to call my name.

So after a breif catch up with my obstetrician he told me he was going to up my dose of Clomid to 100mg (versus the 50mg I did during my first three months on Clomid last year). I did ovulate on the 50mg, so I am hopeful that we conceive on the 100mg dose. Also much like last year he is also sending me for the day 21 progesterone bloodwork to confirm ovulation, I'll be able to call the office for my results instead of booking an appointment and waiting.

I must admit I am a bit curious and nervous of taking the higher dose, I know Clomid comes with a mess of side effects and I was lucky enough to miss most during our months on 50mg but I wonder how I'll react on the higher dose and hope it won't be as rough as I am expecting. Regardless this is all such a small price to pay if in the end we bring home our baby.

I am so hopeful of these upcoming cycles, almost so much that I cannot wait to start. I know that these three cycles are a tad more stressful because if we do not conceive during the three rounds on Clomid my obstetrician will have to move me to the fertility specialists. But I am doing everything I can not to think about that and instead keep positive.

This will be our year, so many people are praying and hoping for us.
