Well I took my first clomid pills today. I’m on 100mg/day. I waited until 9pm to take them because I heard it can cut down on some side-effects if you take the pills at night. I’m willing to try it, the doctor never told me when during the day to take it. I don’t know when side-effects will start, either. It’ll be hard to figure out too, because pretty much every symptom I’ve read so far I have to some degree already. Night sweats? Yup. Headaches? Had one all day today. Nausea? You betcha, all the freakin’ time. So I guess it’ll be a matter of “is this worse than usual?”

I talked to my mom on the phone today, told her of the clomid and the upcoming IUI. I try to be polite and not say things like “sex” or “sperm” but sometimes it just can’t be helped, especially when talking about IUI. In any case, she’s eager to hear updates on how it all goes. She also mentioned that my aunt (the one who had endo) was on fertility treatments of some kind. I find that reassuring. I’m pretty sure that’s why my mom has been so supportive and understanding about all of this. She is very close to her sister and must have been her support as well.
