I have a very specific prayer request for the next week: please pray that the Clomid does not block the estrogen receptors in my uterus.
(If you're interested in the medical facts: Clomid's job is to block the estrogen receptors in the brain, which it is doing, but it is also blocking them in my uterus, which prevents my endometrium (lining) from getting thick enough to support a pregnancy and also prevents me from having fertile quality cervical mucus. This is why we will have to switch from this medicine to a much more expensive, injectable medicine the next cycle we try.... so we'd rather this cycle work!)
I will be taking extra estrogen after I finish the Clomid to hopefully counteract this, but it may not help if the Clomid is blocking the receptors!
My praise is that I have not had a single headache from the Clomid this cycle!!! That is amazing. :) :) :)

OK - I'm hoping hard for you! And thank you for that little lesson on Clomid - honestly I never knew quite what it did. Fingers crossed!
