More drugs in preparation for my journey toward in vitro fertilization… Today, I took my first dose of Clomid, a fertility drug.

As Hubby and I were having dinner, I read the Patient Prescription Information sheet indicating the possible side effects which include fun things like stomach upset, bloating, abdominal/pelvic fullness, flushing (“hot flashes”), breast tenderness, headaches, or dizziness. Knowing my propensity for being a hypochondriac, Hubby stopped me right after I read “hot flashes” and remarked, “you better stop reading or else you might think you’re having all of those side effects.”

“Yeah, I’m starting to feel hot already,” I said.

Oh, maybe that was all that Sriracha sauce I was having with my chicken.
