On clomid

I’m in my second month of treatment. The clomid is making me severely depressed. It is affecting my work and concentration. Everything is catastrophic to me. Its really not helping that my work and company is in turmoil at the moment. I feel very demotivated and lost.

However, the meds has been working. The first month, I produced one egg. The second month I produced two! Am at the dreaded 2 week wait (waiting time to see if I am pregnant) and I am hoping for the best. I told the doctor about the side effects and he said that it is not a common side effect. I did some reading on the internet and apparently some people do get depression from the meds. The doctor recommends that if I don’t get pregnant this cycle, he suggests that we do a laproscopy. It involves a minor surgery and half a day of admission. He also said that if we don’t want to do one yet, we can always try for another month. I think I am opting to try for another month, but am not sure if I can cope with the depression for another month! Cost is also a factor. I wonder how much the laproscopy is going to cost! Our insurance does not cover fertility treatments.

Hoping for the best in the coming 2 weeks.
