Sneaky

So I have to admit, I have been sneaking clomid.

Not every cycle, but this is the 2nd cycle since we stopped trying that I have used 50 mg of clomid days 5-9. When I was undergoing treatment, the protocol was clomid of various doses on days 3-7. Google clomid treatment days and there is folklore on what the differences between days are -- some say days 3-7 produce more eggs (which is useful when doing a trigger shot so they will all release), and days 5-9 produce better quality egg.

My google shows success rate is similar. So I figure the entire time I was doing monitoring, my clomid days were days 3-7, why not try days 5-9 on my own. Maybe poor quality egg is why I had 2 early losses.

The problem is, it still has the side effects, I am what most people will call bitchy. Poor A, has no clue why I am flying off the handle at the smallest thing. O, the hot flashes return as well. Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night unbelievably hot. However, I have been having fertile cervical mucus, so at least that is one side effect that has not returned.

So sneaking clomid even without even my husband knowing. I will let him in on it if this works.
