Ebb and Flow

I find it interesting how I sometimes have a lot of thoughts and feelings related to infertility that I feel the need to write about, and other times I seem to have nothing to say.  These past few days have been one of those "nothing to say" times.  I haven't been feeling much angst, sadness, anger, etc., about the fact that we still don't have a baby, more than two years after beginning TTC.  I have basically just been taking each day as it comes and doing what I have to do each day (drugs, OPKs) for this cycle.

I suppose it is just a natural ebb and flow.  Even though it is a little perplexing, I am actually glad to not have the constant flow of negative thoughts and emotions at the moment.  What a relief!  (If only they were gone for good. . . . )

I am still feeling a little tired today, but nowhere near how I felt yesterday.  (I seriously only had about an hour in the evening when I had energy and felt like I was dragging myself along the rest of the day.)  I did consult Dr. Go.ogle and found that fatigue is a documented, though not common, side effect of both Clomid and Gonal-F.  So at this point I'm going with medication side effect as the cause of my unusual fatigue.

Tonight is my last injection of Gonal-F (yea!), and tomorrow afternoon is my mid-cycle monitoring u/s.  I better have at least four follicles large enough to contain mature eggs this cycle or, I admit, I am going to be angry.  So don't let me down, ovaries.  ;-)

Will update with my u/s results tomorrow.

P.S. I mentioned taking DHEA to improve egg quality in an earlier post.  I have also done a "shot" of wheat grass three of the last four days. . . . which is supposed to give you energy in addition to helping your health in a number of ways.  I'm toying with the idea of using CoQ10 and/or royal jelly, too.  Any thoughts?
