I don't know if it was the provera(to make me start my period) or if it was the Clomid, but it really had my emotions all crazy. I lost all my patience and it was very difficult for me to be a good mother/wife while I was on it. It was like the worst case of PMS I've every had. Each time I'd start the new cycle of trying.

My heair also started thinning out with the medication. It wouldn't just break it would catually come out from the root.

I've heard that the medication can be very successful in acheiving pregnancy. I just wasn't onwe of those fortunate ones.

Rather than jump up to...the injections or the surgery to put holes in my ovaries I decided to wait. The Dr said if I got down to my recommended weight the clomid may have a better effect on me.....(and our insurance covers it 100%) so that was my plan....for now.

Enjoy my kids...try and get in the best shape I can be in(a good thing for me anyways) then go back on clomid and see if it might work this time. Even with the hormonal stuff and side effects....I would still try it again..when I'm ready to in the future. So I don't want to scare you away from it....it is still something worth trying. I will just make sure to simplify my life next time and not have 5 little ones to care for...during my treatment. Next time it will just be my 3 kids and husband...and hopefully they will put up with my moodiness and short temper and forgive me for it.

What ever you do...I wouldn't put it off any longer. Either take the plunge and do both..or pick one and go with it. One way or another you will hav your baby.
