Clever Robbie
Yesterday, Clever Robbie spoke with Nurse Space Cadet and learned that Monday would be counted as Day 1 of our heroine's first treatment cycle. Consequently, Clever Robbie was told to begin taking her Clomid on Friday, Day 5. As Clever Robbie wants a child very, very much, it is very important for her to remember to take her Clomid on time.
Aha! thought Clever Robbie before going to bed MOnday night. I shall add the Clomid pills to my nifty weekly pill organizer and then I shall not forget to take them! Isn't that so clever of me? And so Clever Robbie cheerfully took her pill organizer out of her bag, gathered up her bottles of vitamins, metformin, and Clomid, and set to work counting out drugs and nestling them into their happy new homes. It's a tight fit with the metformin and the vitamins, thought Clever Robbie, but this Clomid tablet is small. It will fit.
Hmmm....each Clomid tablet is wrapped in a blister pack. That's odd.
Clever Robbie then proceeded to open up one of the blister packs and carefully placed the first Clomid pill in the corner of Friday's compartment. It didn't quite settle into place, so Clever Robbie moved the other pills around and gently shook the pill organizer to make all the pills fit. That looks about right, she thought as the snapped shut the little door marked "F" -
- and watched the Clomid pill crack and crumble to dust.
It's a good thing that Clever Robbie's doctor is also clever, isn't it? He wrote Clever Robbie a prescription for ten Clomid tablets. The nine remaining doses are safely snuggled away in their blister-pack-beds, and Clever Robbie need not explain her extreme cleverness to Dr. Quixotic until the next cycle. Which we hope isn't going to even happen...right, kids?

This post would make a great bedtime story. Cute character names, drama and suspense, and a moral at the end to boot! Are 5 year olds too young to learn about the perils of Clomid?
Hah! That's on a par with me stabbing myself with a needle because I didn't read the 'flip off' note on the cover of the buserelin bottle. Glad you had a backup plan.
Stabbed with a needle? Oh, no, Thalia, I think you win!
Hey, could have been worse. You could have done Friday, Saturday and Sunday's pills all at once and lost 3 right off the bat! Or waited to do it until later in the week, and done more days... I think you did pretty well, actually. Not a bad way to learn that when they put it in a blister pack, they meant it!
(Davening for it to work, sending ovulation, conception, et al vibes your way)
What? No disclaimer on the box?! "Caution: crumbling pills"
Sue them! ;-)
