Clomid Cloud

Clomid has done a number on my emotional state and it always gets worse around the time of my period. It makes me feel sad and I just can't snap out of it, I like to call it the Clomid cloud. Anything can set me off and make me feel like crying. My patience wears thin with normal daily activities and I find myself wanting to burst into tears at the slightest inconvenience, it could be something as ordinary as getting stuck in traffic and even walking the dog is extra frustrating. 

Work can be terribly upsetting. I have a high stress job and have to deal with the public face to face all day long. It can be emotionally and physically taxing. When you add Clomid into the mix it only gets worse. I really struggle with trying to stay in a good mood, and remain cheerful and helpful. I suppose this is all good practice for the sleep deprivation I'll feel when I'm eventually a new mom.


Once Clomid finally wears off, right around the time I'm about to start taking it again the next cycle, I begin to feel better. It's like coming out from under water. I wake up one morning feeling like my old self, like the person I was before I was dealing with infertility and all the anxiety that comes with it. As we try again to get pregnant  I'm trying to stay positive, keep moving forward and remember that one day, whether we get pregnant, adopt or decide to live a childless life, at least I'll know we tried.
