We are on to Day 12 of this try-cycle. The side effects hit me way earlier this
time, almost as soon as I started taking the Clomid. I have had lots of nausea and headaches to
deal with. Thankfully the side effects
seem to be abating quickly. I am feeling
better each day, although the emotional toll of being on the Clomid is
certainly not easing. Doc finds the
crying particularly funny. It probably
is funny to watch your wife, who normally doesn’t cry, burst into tears while
trying to explain why the movie The Hunger Games left out the most important
details from the book.
I am trying to keep myself grounded though. The dogs keep me company on long walks around town and have been watching as I clean out our guest room. We refuse to refer to it as the baby’s room, because I think we are both afraid to jinx it. Regardless, the room is ready for company. We are both very hopeful this time and we are trying to stay focused on the positives. There are still fears, but there may always be fears. Hopefully this time is different though. Hopefully our journey with infertility will find a happy ending.
We will have a progesterone draw on Day 21 to ensure ovulation and then on Day 28 I will see my doctor to have my ovaries checked to ensure they are not overly stimulated. We are back on the try-cycle!

What details from the book? I deliberately saw the movie before reading the books so i wouldn't be too harsh on the movie, but my timeline is blurred cause I read all 3 at once. How many dogs? All shibas? If you'd like more company, we've got a husky that'll distract and entertain you during your walks.
ReplyDeleteThey mostly left out the back ground details which, I felt, made the dramatic moments more poignant. We had to keep pausing because Doc didn't understand why something was a big deal. Like the set up for the reaping, the back story on her father and starving. They were just flashes, which took away from the depth of the story. They also changed the story of the pin she wears.
DeleteWe have 2 Shiba Inus and we adore them both. They are such fun and have such large personailites that we are endlessly entertained by them.
