Tonight's the night!

CD 3 is here!!

Tonight I will be taking my first Clomid pill.  I'm taking it tonight so I can hopefully sleep through the side effects. Some of which include:

hot flashes
bloating and abdominal discomfort
mood swings
weight gain (less than 1 % reported)
nausea and dizziness
headaches
blurred vision
breast tenderness
nightmares 
ovarian cysts (yikes!)
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (less than 1% reported)
twins (6.9% chance) triplets (.5%)

I'm going into this with my eyes wide open. Taking Clomid is not something that should be done without lots of thought, research, and most important for me, prayer. 

After work, I'm going to pick up my prescription, go home and pack, and drive to Rockport where I will be spending the night. Tomorrow my mom and I are driving Betsy, my youngest sister, to Waco to move her into her dorm at Baylor. I'm already a little wrecked over it. I'll have to do my best to keep my emotions in check, especially while being on Clomid.

I have the butterflies in a kind of major way. Could this be the month my dream will come true?

Cautiously optimistic, -Natalie
