I have recently went through almost exactly the same things as you. Just had surgery June 9th to remove cysts from my ovaries. (One was the size of a baseball and the other the size of a golf ball) It was laprascopy with the da vinci robotic machine. Also diagnosed with stage III endometriosis and had everything cleaned out. They checked my tubes and they were already clear. I am doing the clomid. Dr. recommended IUI with it, but I'm not sure I want to do that so we're trying without it. This is my second month on clomid, which they doubled to 100 mg because my progesterone was too low on 50 mg. Not moody with it, just night sweats. However, I'm also on another medicine because my DHEA levels are slightly elevated so it could be to blame too. I'm sorry you're going through this too because it sucks, but I'm glad I found your blog and have somebody that I can relate too. All the women in my family seem to get pregnant every time they take their underwear off, so they don't get it. Holy cow, sorry for the long post. I'll say a prayer for you and the other two ladies tonight and I'll be checking your blog regularly.

The evil internet will always tell you the worst of the thing. I think you are doing the right thing following your instincts, but it's always good to remember that much fewer people are posting on the internet about having no side effects. :)Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798552763600202447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-33766698605674502612011-07-28T13:43:00.472-07:002011-07-28T13:43:00.472-07:00Going to chime in here... shocking, I know.
I did...Going to chime in here... shocking, I know.<br /><br />I did Clomid, for three months. The pharmacist told me to take it at night, so all the crazy would happen while I was sleeping. If I remember correctly, the only side effect was night sweats. Gross, but doable.<br /><br />As far as metformin, the only side effect from that was an adjustment, gastrointestinally. Oddly enough, it regulated my periods like a Swiss clockmaker. I can't get pregnant to save my life, but good golly, I get that lovely monthly reminder now. <br /><br />And while I'm no longer doing any infertility treatment, I am continuing to take metformin. It's cheap, and I'm hoping that by the grace of someone bigger than me, I'll get pregnant the old-fashioned way. One of these days.<br /><br />Everyone I know, in real life, not my online infertility support group, who took Clomid, got pregnant. Just some drugs for thought.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969997777347317749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-72773210900719629562011-07-28T13:09:10.991-07:002011-07-28T13:09:10.991-07:00i'm hopeful and positive. like erin said, now...i'm hopeful and positive. like erin said, now that all the weeds are gone, there's plenty of room for beautiful flowers to grow. :)TILTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657074911256937647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-83079775654817135242011-07-28T11:12:31.722-07:002011-07-28T11:12:31.722-07:00I agree with the Queen.

Or are you buying it at a juice bar? I've been contemplating growing and juicing (since here in the middle of nowhere we don't have juice bar for miles and miles).Kaeceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472889522303063495noreply@blogger.com
