Trouble TTC

Taking a Break

Sorry I have been MIA for the past week or two.  I've had a really hard time with everything lately.  When they upped my dose of Clomid to 100 mg, I started having panic attacks daily and I couldn't even function.  I couldn't get through my lessons, make dinner, clean, etc.  I wasn't even with it enough to make the connection between the clomid and the panic.  DH and my sister knew right away.  I called the doctor's office and they also agreed it was the Clomid.

I've taken a week off of work to heal and calm myself.  I can't teach and help my students if I'm not okay myself. We were supposed to have u/s on Friday, but I cancelled it.  We've decided to put all of this on hold for a while.  Clomid is obviously not an option any more and I don't want to try anything else now.  This whole situation has made me take a step back. 

DH is so amazing, I can't even imagine what I would do without him. He took care of everything at work for me and took off to stay with me on Thursday.  He has been nothing but supportive.  So I am just going to focus on me- and DH. 

Good luck ladies! I hope when I am ready to come back, you won't have to be here anymore, although I will miss your support.
