Dammit

Second round of clomid cost me 475 bucks and involved the side effects of : nervouseness, sweats, passing out once, dizzy spells, cramps, vomiting, fevers, irritability, blurred vision, hot flashes, and anger management issues.

And after ALL THAT, I get the news today that it didn't work at fucking all.

21 days after you start the rounds of fertility/hormone therapy the Dr's take a couple of vials of your blood. They do a test that can tell whether or not you ovulated. This test is based on a 9 point scale. 6-9 means you likely ovulated.

I scored a .04.

Make sure you see the POINT before the 04, because I would have at least been hopeful with a solid FOUR. However, a POINT 04 is not good.

It's safe to say I did not ovulate and I am a barren wasteland of a woman.

Dammit.

This is a bummer. Those side effects sound vicious. If you're going to $475 for pharmaceuticals you may as well get a buzz.
