Nerves about monitoring

I know it's not a big deal, and thanks to you all I know it doesn't even hurt, but since last night I can't stop looking at the clock waiting for 9:15 (mst) to roll around!!  

This will be my first monitored cycle on clomid and I just feel like its huge! It's going to tell me if its working or not. And if it isn't, I just feel like I'm going to be pretty upset. The worst part is I can't predict what's going to happen at all...

Sorry to keep talking about this appointment - I'm really not so good with managing my stress/anxiety about this whole IF thing...on a lighter note, my clomid induced dream last night was about my husband becoming a male escort in order to afford IVF! Lol I woke up laughing!!! 

Me: 30, DH: 40 
TTC since January 2012HSG & Bloodwork: Normal, SA: NormalDx: Unexplained Infertility 50mg Clomid + TI = BFN (three cycles)
50mg Clomid + trigger + IUI = BFP (one cycle)
Beta #1 (12dpo) = 49  Beta #2 (14dpo)= 149

Expecting g/g twins Oct '13

    I know exactly how you feel. I always feel like I'm going to throw up on the drive to monitoring appointments. The nerves and stress have a very physical effect on me. Good luck today!!!!

    Thanks ladies!! I (of course) thought I was the only one who would get worked up about this type of appointment...it's nice to know it's normal! Perhaps one of these days it will click that if I feel a certain way about the IF process - chances are others have too!! If nothing else, this board has shown me that I'm not alone in this!  I really appreciate you all!! :)

    Good luck today. I am waiting for AF to arrive so I can begin my first clomid cycle and I know I will feel the same way before my first monitoring appt.

     At least that dream started your day with a smile.
