IUI #3 today

SamidezSamidez
in TTC after 35

So I went back in for round 3 of 3 today. It all went as planned & all that. But this was a surprise to me (maybe I've been to lunch on this)...

I was whining about my weight gain & how no matter how much exercise or fruit/veggie filled diet I eat, nothing moves it. So I was told that clomid likely has been the reason. This IS something I suspected. I asked her the half life of the drug, she said 6 months! 6 months? Are you kidding me?! That's why my dosage hasn't been increased because the results of taking it 3 months in a row have been cumulative anyways. The 6 months thing really surprised me. Guess that explains my crankiness...that's cumulative too ;)
