I had to go get my clomid refilled. No big deal give them the RX and wait. When I get my prescription I ask if its ok to take with the amoxicillin I'm taking for the strep/scarlet fever. The pharmacist comes over to tell me its fine to take together and there shouldn't be any problems. He then proceeds to ask me about taking the clomid
"have you taken this drug before?"
"yes"
"have you taken this dosage before?"
"yes"
"ok because thats a pretty hefty dosage for you to be taking"
"yeah I know"
I then couldn't help thinking to myself, do you really think I'd be taking a dosage this high if I didn't need to? Trust me there are no good side effects to taking clomid besides the fact that they make me ovulate, every other side effect I'd be very happy to not have to deal with including the hot flashes and night sweats, dizzy spells and raging hormones.
So I get home to find that he has also included a pamphlet on infertility, with a website for me to check out. I don't know if I should be thankful he is trying to help or irritated that he thinks I'm not educated about my own condition. I'm leaning towards irritated though as I looked at the bottle today and he wrote no refills on my RX, which my doctor had specifically written that I get up to 4 refills so I don't have to keep going in to him to get a refill every month until March.
Oh an update on that I went in for my last Ultrasound and he said that the high dosage is working great and that we should hopefully see great results, that is if there isn't any other underlying issues. So he dosen't feel the need to monitor me every single cycle. Instead he just wants me to keep taking the pills and keep on trying. If we aren't pregnant by March then I am to go back in and start some bigger testing. Wish us luck!!!
