Blood tests. The curse of the infertile. Theres thousands of them.
Well, for the women there are anyway. The men get away with the odd sperm sample. embarrassing admittedly – but hardly the same as being constantly stuck with a bloody long needle every five minutes – which is how frequent it feels like.
Today was a day 21 progesterone check. 7 days till the end of the cycle and i have to start checking the loo paper a agin for microscopic signs of blood. Actually, my progesterone levels were too horrific prior to starting Clomid any way. Levels of 35-40 over two tests – which is much better than some people have to deal with. It doesnt help me however as the problem I have is knackered eggs – and no matter how good my hormone levels are – it wont make my eggs any younger or more viable.
In fact – buggered eggs is the one thing that modern medicine can’t really fix. Typical.
Funnily – im not that depressed at this stage. Maybe because I havent been through a failed cycle, and right now it still feels like something can be done and there some hope.
should have the results tomorrow – lets see just what this Clomid can do.
