Boy am I glad it's cold outside!

hot flashes Pictures, Images and Photos

I'm starting to feel the effects of the clomid. I hated being on the lupron when it was hot out, there was absolutely no relief from the hot flashes (other than standing with the freezer door open). With it being cold outside I can walk outside in a t-shirt and cool off real quick.

If this is what the hot flashes were like last time I was on this medicine... I was a WIMP! This is unpleasant, but NOTHING compared to the Lupron. The only time it's really an issue is at night when I'm fighting for space from Eric and the dogs. I like to cuddle with them, but they make me really hot and then I'm stuck between them with no way out. The rest of the day, if I'm wearing a sweatshirt I'll have a hot flash, but if I'm in a t-shirt I'm fine 99% of the time. If it was the middle of the summer, I'm sure I'd probably have more issues. Thank God for winter... now if only it would snow!

I've also been getting dizzy, which I don't remember happening last time. It doesn't last long, just short dizzy spells, but it worries me a little since I do so much driving for work. Oh well... gotta go to work, not much I can do about it.

Progress!!

AF finally showed up today. Meaning that I ovulated during the week that Eric was on the boat... that is so my luck. But I will be starting my clomid on Friday. Eric's schedule is light through December, they aren't going anywhere so I think this will be our best chance. Starting in January he's going to be all over the place and I don't know how often he'll be home at the right time of the month. I'm still trying to convince him to put some "swimmers" on ice before he leaves so I can do IUI with them after he's gone. That way everything will be timed correctly. We'll see if that actually happens though.

But, we are moving forward... finally!
