hot flashes and gas...great

So I have now started my new meds. Well, I'm still on the other stuff the other dr prescribed, plus the one that Dr.S added on. The progesterone and clomid make me have major hot flashes, plus I'm completely emotional all the time which is very unlike me. It also makes me cramp a lot...I can handle that, it's just annoying. I just keep thinking that maybe it's a way of getting back at me for not having periods and cramps for so many years. The glucophage though is another story. If I don't eat when I take it, I feel very lightheaded and shaky. But the worst part of that med is the fact that it causes you to have a lot of gas...Painful gas.

So the first month of new meds, I get a period on my own, without having to take the progesterone! That was exciting and I never thought I'd be excited about having a period, but the fact that I didn't have to induce it, to me, was a really good sign. Maybe my body was kicking into gear, maybe this will be THE month. I decide that we should have sex every other day during the entire month instead of just during sexfest week, just to cover our bases. So by day 31, still no period. My boobs feel bigger, my uterus feels full, I'm very emotional, tired all the time and nauseated for the last 2 days. I'm thinking this is it! The new meds worked! Everything that month just felt right. So I take a pregnancy test and it is negative. Damn it, damn it, damn it! I just lost it, I was crying almost the entire day. So now I have to start everything all over again. Those hormones are kinda hard on your body. I just don't feel like myself anymore. I was so hoping that this was the month that I would be able to stop everything and feel normal again.

I guess we have to keep on trying
