On the way to the RE’s office this morning I treated my PCOS-self to a delicious coffee drink at my local establishment. A full-throttle coffee drink. Full sugar and full caffeine. HOLYSHITBALLS. I arrived at the doctor’s office jazzed out of my mind. I think I talked more this morning then I have in the past two weeks. I’m naturally a reticent person. Pretty introverted and introspective, to boot. But not this morning. At one point, I felt solidly drunk. I got wrapped up in my purse strap and tripped. It was a scene.
As such, I donated some caffeinated, insulinated blood to the cause. I’m surprised it didn’t burn a hole in the vial. The RE also did another ultrasound to make sure my ovaries were all clear to start the Clomid. My Day 3 estradiol was 27 and my FSH was 8.8. Not a great number, but workable.
I popped the first 100 mg just a couple of minutes ago. I’m scheduled for another ultrasound on CD12, and if I have any ripe follicles we will trigger at that time.
And so it begins.
I think coffee has the same effect on me, especially that I’m also introverted by nature. Can’t live without it though, looking forward to that cup of java everyday.
Woohoo! Once I get AF I’ll be right behind you with most likely a similar protocol. Can’t wait!
That’s exciting, a cycle buddy!
I’m about one month away from where you’re going with the Clomid, although I am going to start on 50mg to see how I respond first. Good luck this cycle!!
Not, a cycle buddy
Just a protocol buddy (unless my RE changes our plan). I have an appt Monday so I will most likely start Provera on Tuesday (unless a miracle occurs). So AF won’t be here for another 2 weeks, hopefully less.
I have to say I can totally relate to your coffee story. I don’t drink caffeine, but when I do it’s a disaster. I’m probably safe to say our personality types are similar. Caffeine/coffee makes me feel like I’m going to have a heart attack because I just can’t slow down!
Protocol buddies, cycle buddies – whatevs. A buddy is a buddy.
Do you love the caffeine? I love the caffeine. I would drink it everyday if it didn’t amp up my nervous system so much.
I had a real LOL at this one! Sometimes that caffeine/sugar drunkenness is worse than the alcohol-induced kind!
Congratulations on beginning.
