Well ladies, AF came on Friday and just as I was feeling bummed about another cycle and no BFP, my doctor emailed that he'd filled the prescription for Clomid. I'm going to pick it up today.

I'm not too sure how I feel about it honestly. Only my husband and one close friend who did IVF 6 times before her BFP know about it. I feel like I'm in totally uncharted territories here. Am I doing the right thing for my body? Am I going to feel totally whacked out on this? Is it worth it to even try? Well, I guess we're taking a big leap of faith. What else is there to do but wait? And we all know how easy that is-ha! So, just thought I'd share. I feel kinda bummed to have to be going to this honestly, since I got pregnant the first two times no prob-but after the miscarriage, my body has been so messed up. I'm at the point of not knowing what else to do other than giving up-and I'm not ready to. I know it's been successful for so many women, it's just so new to me. Thanks for giving me a chance to air all this out!

I felt the same way when my OB prescribed Clomid. I think it's normal to feel that way before starting any medication that affects your body the way it does. Mine was also needed after having 2 kids without trouble. Hopefully it'll work for you and you won't have a lot of side affects to deal with.

I totally understand your feelings. That's how I felt when I started taking it. I really hope that it brings you your BFP very soon. Good luck hun.

Ditto here too! I completely understand & it does suck! I hope you get your long awaited BFP soon... I hope we all do. BTW, not sure when you plan on taking it but I take mine at night about 30 mins before bed & I just sleep through the side effects I guess.

I agree ... take it close to bed. That's what I did this time and so I wasn't bothered as much by hot flashes, etc. Still kinda moody though .....
Good luck!!

Taking it at night definitely helps.

Thank you all for the warm words and advice! When to take it was going to be my next question!

I think I'm really just scared-is it going to work this time? Am I going to be anxious again this cycle and not get a BFP or can I finally relax knowing I'll have a better chance ovulating this time? Not really any answers, just thoughts I'm pondering and posting b/c DH definitely doesn't understand as well about all this stuff (though he cares!).

Thanks everyone...taking the pill and calling it a night...
