I've decided to stay off the clomid until I see the RE. But I fear that I will be diagnosed with something. I'm not a hypocondriac, but I can't help but wonder if it might be a hormone problem or insulin problem...

It makes even simple daily chores difficult, since my mind isn't in it.

Best to you!!!

Hi Sandy, I don't blame you for stopping the clomid. It doesn't work for everyone. It actually dries up your cervical mucus and can cause more harm than good. With IUI, they by pass your cervix and deposit the sperm directly in your uterus. That's why my RE recommended clomid combined with injectables. I think it will be a total of 5 injections-yikes! If that doesn't work we will move on to strictly injectables-double yikes!! I hate needles and I can't imagine giving them to myself-but I've done a lot of things I've never imganied myself doing to have a baby. I know it will be worth it in the end.

Good luck with the RE!! That is definitely a step in the right direction.
