Clomid - Round 2 could it be second time lucky?

Just sat here thinking about things and I thought I better update my blog :) Well as you can probably guess from the title I am still not pregnant, still trying and trying. Month one on clomid was unsuccessful but I am trying not to get too down about it as it was pretty much guess work as I wasn't scanned last month so it could be that I am not responding to 50mg of clomid or maybe our timing was just wrong. I guesss I didn't get my hopes up too much anyway I think its my way of dealing with it and protecting myself from the hurt because it sure does hurt like hell.
Clomid round 2-
I got my period on the 19th of april and took my clomid on days Two to six again. Not going to lie clomid has made me feel pretty horrible. I am just going to make a little list of what I have noticed when taking clomid.
*really bad headaches and eye pain
*seeing floaty things
*feeling dizzy a lot of the time
* feeling down and extra moody
* greasy hair. I am loving dry shampoo at the minute
*extra bad skin.
I think that is everything haha.

I have nicknamed my clomid the bitch haha but if she does her job she will be my miracle in a box :) Also I have noticed clomid has made my cycle 30 days now and the flow of blood after say day 2-3 is really light which I am not complaining about.

Vaginal follicle scan-
This thursday I have to go for my scan which will be my day 14 but when talking to Sarah the nurse she said I probably won't ovulate until  day 16 as my cycle was 30 days and not 28 days, but this is the only appointment she had left. I can't believe this cycle business used to confuse me. But I guess I have had so many months to get used to doing it :( Also a week after the scan I have to go for a blood test to check that I did actually ovulate.
Well I am going to leave it here for now and will update after I have had the scan on thursday.

Thanks for reading this post on our journey, love Kirsty xx
