I do very much appreciate your compassion towards my experience with clomid this last go around. However, I shouldn't lead you to believe that I was having "just a bad reaction." It was as close to an experience with ps.ych.osis as I'd ever seen. And I can't have that in my life. And I'm not willing to trade my sanity for fertility because that's exactly what it is. I've often counselled my friends against getting psychia.tric drug.s from internists. Mood and hormone altering drugs can cause serious emotional side effects that I don't think general practitioners are equipped to address it. I believe people who needs those kinds of pharmaceuticals need doctors who know the drugs and are very familiar with drug combinations.
We all put some sort of limits on infertility testing and treatment. I'm one that will be pulling the plug much sooner than others. I did all I could do to find the cause, and I will not push my body to do things it doesn't want to do. This is not the story of my life; it's not a saga.
I am jumping in in the middle as I didn't see those posts, but I can say that I think you have good perspective on the whole deal. Limits are a good thing to have, as is sanity :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to recognize your limits. We sometimes forget about self-preservation when we're caught up in all things IF.
