Taking a break

I discovered on Tuesday night that I had started bleeding, so when it continued on Wednesday, I called the doctor's office to ask what they thought I should do. By Wednesday afternoon, the bleeding had completedly stopped, but they insisted that we were going to treat this like a new cycle. I wasn't ready for this, so I began to panic and ultimately insisted that we do one more round of Clomid before switching to a combination cycle with daily injections.

I'm still under a lot of stress from this, but am finally starting to calm down a little. It has helped that my husband and I agree that it might be good to take a short break after this cycle to regroup. Plus, it will allow us to build up our savings again so that we can afford the medical bills we'll be racking up with the injections and office visits. The more I think about this, the better I feel. It is just a lot of stress to deal with for me and with the holidays approaching, I don't want to have to think about it as much.

I'm confident that this round of Clomid won't work, but I'm doing it anyway "just in case." I am starting to feel better and better about the decision to take a break and I'm focusing on taking care of the rest of me. I'm working on some projects and relaxing more. This is my favorite time of year and I want to enjoy it, so I am.
