CD 8 Update

So the past weeks has been so crazy... I have been working crazy hours, and to add on everything I am a Doula on the side and my client went into labor Sunday night. It was a fairly quick birth (luckily) and after less than 12 hours of labor and pushing she delivered a beautiful 6lbs 12oz baby girl! It was an amazing, adrenaline pumping experience since I have not been at a birth in a while! But I will tell you, it took a lot out of me! I slept all day Monday and I wished that I could sleep all day Tuesday!

So here is a quick update of what has been going on with me in the 5 days I have been away....

Last week I had my CD3 Testing and miraculously it all came back normal! It looks like all the supplements I am taking, the change in my eating habits, and exercise paid off! I also started Clomid on CD3 and I really don't have too many complaints about the Clomid. I did experience ridiculous hot flashes that make me want to NEVER go into menopause, I had a persistent headache the entire time I was taking the Clomid, and it made me really groggy when I wake up in the morning (I took it at night). Thankfully I did not have any "Cloments" while I was taking the medications I was a little emotionally on edge, but it was not any worse than a PMS episode. I have been having some cramping in my ovaries but I am hoping that is a good sign that these follicles are growing nicely in there!

I will be going in for my HSG (hysterosalpingogram) tomorrow and I am getting super nervous about it! I will be going alone since my DP will be at work during my appt. and I have been probably doing more harm than good by watching Youtube videos about the procedure and so I am worried about the pain. Fingers crossed though that everything goes smoothly and there are not any problems. 

Until tomorrow.... Many Blessings!
