Preparing for the New Year

With just 10 days left in this horrendous year, I have already started preparing for 2011.  I'm ready.  Let's do it.  Adios 2010!!!

I started the Clomid today and have decided that I will have a totally positive attitude about this.  In preparation for IUI #3, which could be my last one way or another, I scheduled an appointment for acupuncture!!!  I'm so nervous, but very excited for the possibility of something new to bring my hopes back up again.  God knows I need it this time.  I mean, what's the point of going through all of this anyway if I'm not really "feeling it", right?!?!?  And what better time to start off a clean, new, fresh mind than the New Year...with the help of a few needles, of course.

I have been thinking about some sort of "alternative" treatment for a while now.  A friend of mine mentioned acupuncture since she uses it to treat migraines, allergies and insomnia - and she swears by it.  After researching it a bit and seeing how successful it really can be (!!!), I decided to go for it.  The receptionist was so nice and friendly that I already feel relaxed.  Crazy, huh?

So on January 5th, we'll see how it goes.  My first appointment will be mainly a "talk" with Dr. John as he's called.  I figure this will be after the actual IUI, so not sure if they can help with this cycle or not, but it's worth a shot.  Or at the very least, a pin prick.  ha ha ha...

I should probably get to bed early tonight since the night sweats are scheduled to start tomorrow night (thank you, Clomid), and it will be a while before I can get another good night's sleep.  But I must admit, I'm a bit excited about this month...I've gotta feeling...

Sound familiar???  Let's just go with it.
