It's the 4th day of school near me and I GOT TO SUB! Flashback to last year when I didn't work until NOVEMBER!!! So, I have to say that was a positive right there. :)
Throughout the past few days, the only major side effect of Clomid has been hot flashes. Other than that, I feel okay. There was that one dizzy spell too but I'm not sure if I can blame the Clomid. Anyways.....today I was subbing and my group was with another group. I wasn't the only teacher there. One of my girls complained of a headache and sore throat. I was having a hot flash but tried to feel her head.
Yeah well I couldn't tell if it was just me or me and her that were burning up. lol So I sent her to another teacher who proclaimed her to be fine. I, however, was still sweating up a storm and probably looked as red as Elmo. Oh well!
Fast forward a few hours and she's still not feeling the greatest. One of the teachers told her to get to work because you always have those kids that say they want to go to the nurse just to get out of something. I let it go until later someone else felt her head and took her to the nurse. I guess she ended up having a 101 degree fever.
Oops.
Whether she had it when I checked her or not will never be known for sure. BUT it makes me wonder how HOT was I?! lol
In my defense, I was never good at the forehead touch test anyways. I guess that's something to work on when I have my own kids. Luckily Walgreens has these nifty things call thermometers...just in case.
Switching gears a bit...today is day 9 of my cycle. I feel like I'm getting more and more official sounding as we go through this journey. Anyways, tonight is the last of my Clomid. As of about 9:30PM, I will have completed the first part of my first Clomid cycle.
Whoa.
Which means that tomorrow I get to POAS! For those not familiar with the lingo, POAS means "pee on a stick". Trust me, I Googled it.
I'm testing my LH levels with an ovulation test kit. I went with the cheaper version this time around not knowing what to expect and all. Cheaper is also good for those of us who are not so good at the POAS part. I realize it's supposed to be easy but it's harder to aim for girl than boys! :)
I just hope it works!
Once I get a color change, I will call the fertility center and go for blood work and an ultrasound. They just can't get enough of me or my lady bits at that place. lol
IF I ovulated, then they will tell me to continue with the HCG shot, when to do the baby dance, and when to go for the IUI.
IF I don't ovulate, it's pretty much over this time around. I'm sure they will do some kind of testing to see why it might not have worked, but I'm trying not to think of that.
So...if you want to help me out, think pink thoughts. Or is it lines? Oh crap, I don't know. Too many things to remember and deal with. Just think ovulating thoughts....
Thanks in advance. :)
