Clomid is not my friend

Clomid and I have parted ways.

It was the first med my first doctor put me on, way back in 2018 when I started trying to get pregnant with the help of meds.  I was on the lowest dose and it just gave me hormonal side effects.  Also didn't get pregnant.  

Fast forward to now.  My last pregnancy, in April, I took Clomid at a high dose for 2 days.  It was supposed to be 5 days, layered with FSH, but I started having visual hallucinations (seeing trails on everything) right when I woke up.  I stopped it immediately and got pregnant that cycle.

We tried it again this cycle and after the first day I got tinnitus in my right ear.  I stopped after one day and just did FSH shots for 4 more days.  I went back in yesterday for a follicle scan and I needed a boost, so we did two days of letrozole.  

The grand science fair project that is my fertility.
