Hi! Good luck everyone!
I am on my 8cd today. Tomorrow is the last day of Clomid. I am going to 10cd ultrasound next Wednesday. Hope everything will look ok
My IUI will probably be June 28 or so...

Hey there Katie,
I'm only on CD7. I'm taking my Clomid CD4-8 this cycle.
So, I'm at work, staring at the computer while talking to my boyfriend and I start bawling!! I had to hang up and go to the bathroom before anyone saw me. This sucks!!
I thought I was fine when I posted yesterday and even this morning, but I guess it's starting to kick in. So emotional!

kremd75, I feel so bad for you feeling like that. That's exactly how I felt. I can see how it can even cause problems in relationships for some people too. I was at work crying too, that clomid makes me nuts. I even have huge hot flashes all the time, in meetings, in my car, even while BDing! My DH is such a trooper to deal with me like this. I did notice this month though that I was the worst on the days that I was taking the pills. After I wasn't taking them anymore I seemed a little more in control of my emotions. I hope you feel better.

Mandesse, sorry about all the rain.. if it makes you feel any better it was super HOT here today!!!

Kris.. I am sorry that you are having such a hard time with this.. I have been angry all day.. and I know it is the Clomid because I am a very happy person for the most part.. never really ANGRY and today I was totally ANGRY... so not Katie!!! I hope once you aren't taking the meds you will get to feeling better, like Tracy said happened to her.

Keep the faith gals.. we can make it through this...
talk to you all tomorrow!!

Happy Monday to all! Just wanted to check in and say hello!

Today is my HSG and then hopefully Friday is my CD 11 u/s and bloodwork. My DH decided that if this IUI doesn't work, we are going to go on to IVF. I will probably take a month or two off due to financial reasons and then move forward. Hopefully though this IUI works and I won't need it!

Have a great day everyone!

Madeese: The HSG is not that bad. It's a little uncomfortable...caused a little cramping. Good news is that many women get pregnant right after the HSG! I did, and it was all natural without help from med's. It ended in a M/C...but, that I was still able to get pregnant! So, good luck!!!!

Thank you katiep and HeatherH!! Usually I am so good about these things but this test has made me a giant chicken! LOL

I am thinking good thoughts this month and welcoming a break from the meds next month either way.

How are you ladies doing?
