Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Sorry I haven't posted much lately (or emailed you Cara!) but I've been struggling and I don't want to be a downer. I actually feel a little better today as I went to the RE's office this am. I was worried that I had cysts or something from the clomid because my right ovary has really been hurting but she said everything was fine.

She gave me scripts for this months stuff. I'm switching to femara instead of the clomid. Its a newer drug, actually used for breast cancer but some dr's use it when the clomid doesn't work or there are too many side effects. But I am a little upset she started me on a lower dose of the femara when you compare it to the clomid. I've had three good follicles the last two cycles so I guess a lower dose of a better medication should be fine. Thats about the only thing we are changing. I'm still on all the vitamins and other hormones. I go in July 8th for an ultrasound and more blood work to make sure the follicles are good, than I'll get an injection of hcg and then start the progesterone right after I ovulate.

Will and I have been having some issues. Mostly about the fertility stuff. He is tired of trying and tired of me being moody, he says I'm different. Well, after three miscarraiges in 9 months and trying to have our first baby for 17 months, of course I'm different! We have hashed things out and decided we will try until the new year and relook at things then.

I booked a bed and breakfast get-away for the weekened of July 8 and 9. I will be ovulating then and thought a change of scenary might make is seem less like sex on a schedule kinda thing. Plus, we really haven't had a vactaion of any sorts since all this started. Its just for the weekend but its right on lake huron so it should be fun and relaxing.

So, sorry I've been MIA, I at least scan the boards everyday but just haven't had much to say lately!

I know Heather is getting ready to go on vacation the end of the week and has been very busy. I saw her on Saturday and otherwise she is doing ok. Her new haircut looks really cute! Hopefully she will post a picture soon!
