Clomid is a very unpredictable drug, and you never know how your body will respond. My doc says that by this stage the follies grow apprx. 2mm per day, so they may still surprise you. <BR/>I had some retail therapy of my own this weekend, and contrary to popular belief, "stuff" does make you feel better!
