As everyone knows already, Dave and I have been trying to have kids for almost 6yrs now, and have not had much luck. In November, I had a chat with my Doctor, and she put me on Chlomid (for those of you who don't know what that is-fertility treatments). One of the side effects of this particular drug happens to be HOT FLASHES.
For those of you who have had them, you can sympathise, for those of you who haven't or can't experience them, drink a glass of boiling water, once you get past the burns in your mouth, focus on how hot you begin to feel, then you'll have a small idea of what it's like.
Anyhow, since these hot flashes have come, I've lost sleep. I cannot sleep because of the hot flashes or if I manage to fall asleep, they wake me up. It's hell, but I got to thinking, if this stuff works, it'll totally be worth the hot flashes and lack of sleep.
One thing that keeps me going, and I know a lot of you think I"m crazy for this, but the older I get, and with being on these fertility drugs, it raises my chances for multiple births. I would love to have twins, if I have only one child, that will be good too. According to my doctor, the next step if this treatment doesn't work, will be Invitro. For all you out there reading this, by all means, PLEASE pray for us.
