Are you the type of person that reads the labels on all the medication that you are taking? Do you read the possible side effects and imagine that you have EVERY single on of them all at that very minute???
I have taken Clomid before, so I was aware of what it can do to my emotional state, but had forgotten the physical side effects...
UNTIL I did the forbidden act of: READING THE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE LABEL!!!!!
WARNING:
The following adverse events have been reported in patients in clinical trials: Acute abdomen, appetite increase, constipation, dermatitis or rash, depression, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, hair loss/dry hair, increased urinary frequency/volume, insomnia, light-headedness, nervous tension, vertigo, weight gain/loss
Translation: Carey will experience big appetite, constipation, rashes, bouts of tears for no reason, don't want to get off the couch-ism, dizziness, frequent trips to the toilet, nervous energy and getting fat or possible thin......
WOW!! And they prescribe this to people who are trying to have more intimacy with their husbands..hahah!!! IRONIC right?
I just have to sit back and laugh and try not to take myself too seriously!
Yesterday, I had more of the emotional side effects, I call them my "mini outbursts"
They can happen at ANY moment, with ANYONE, for ANY reason or no reason at all...
Yesterday I experienced several "mini outburst"...
I feel the need to share some of them so I can truly see the ridiculousness of them!
#1: Trav lost his wallet, OUTBURST
#2: My dress didn't make me feel pretty, OUTBURST
#3: Chicken salad, that's all I can say for now: OUTBURST
#4: Pharmacy shipped my meds to wrong location: OUTBURST
#5: My dog stepped on my toes: OUTBURST
Ridiculous right? Today as I wait at home for more meds to be delivered, I am reminded of how truly blessed and fortunate Travis and I are.
We are remiss if we only focus on the negative side effects, if we only remember the hard times of this journey. I MUST shed light on the good also, and the good far outweighs any "mini outburst". Travis and I are closer than we have ever been, I have new friendships due to our common struggle, both of our families are supportive and so much more!!!
This is not only a quest for our own family, but a quest to understand the Lord better and to learn to trust in Him. If we strip away all the meds, the Doctors, the test...we are left with the simple truth that if the Lord wants us to have a baby...WE WILL!!!!!
He is in control, always was and always will be:) Enough said...
Jeremiah 29:11 The Message I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
Philippians 4:8-9
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Carey, Dad and I are"for" you too! And we are constantly praying for you and Travis and little Bettymae or Nate Covey. Be brave. Give your hopes and dreama to Jesus. you can trust Him through each day of this time. Love you, Mom
So... is it normal that I had mini outbursts while reading this post and that I cried too? Well... I did. lol, so we are either both crazy, or our medications give us all the symptoms, or we are both yearning for God to answer you. Maybe a little of all. :-) I love you sweet Carey. May God give you all that you patiently wait for the very moment that is best in His eyes! Translation: REALLY SOON PLEASE GOD!!!
Thanks for sharing your journey!
