Clomid Day 1 💊
CD-3// So this is how starting a “cycle” works:
Cycle Day 1: Call office and inform them that you have started your period and you’d like to start the IUI cycle. Cycle Day 2: Labs ordered were drawn Cycle Day 3: Came in to the office for initial medication start and ultrasound.
Ultrasound showed: 5 follicles on the right ovary, and 4 follicles on the left ovary. (Normal range for my age is 11 to 15.)
My reproductive endocrinologist had me take the first clomid dose today, she suggested I take it asap since I was spotting the day before CD1. Usually people take this medication at night to avoid the side effects.
Took first clomid pill at 9:15 AM. I immediately started feeling my heart race. My fitbit was ranging 90-100 BPM, at rest sitting down. My heart rate is usually around 65-80 BPM. I felt a headache coming on, like I needed to lay down.
Survived the first day.
