Normal pt 2

Normal has become a swear word in our house. Dave and I had our first appointment a month ago with the fertility specialist (FINALLY!!!) and they redid all the tests again . . . and again everything is normal. They couldn't do a hysterosalpingography on me, so a laparoscopy has been scheduled for January. Until then I am taking clomid. I have never taken anything more than 800 mg of ibuprofen, so I was really nervous about taking a drug that has at least 7 side effects: hot flashes, bloating and abdominal discomfort, weight gain, mood swings, nausea/dizziness, headaches, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and twins/multiple pregnancies. I had a mild mood swing on the first day with Dave (thank Heavens it wasn't anywhere else) and on day 2 and 3 I had a very low grade headache. Otherwise everything is good so far, but one of the things I have not been able to find out is how long the side effects are suppose to last; only while I am taking the med or for longer? However, I really don't see twins/multiples as a side effect. I would love to have twins/multiples, then we have our family in one pregnancy! Awesome!
