Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell) mass of the body.

What do I do now?

Seems like it's bee one question after another for me here lately. I have what feels like I major issue on my hands right now. AF aarived today and my doc normally starts the clomid on CD 2. Well, I called the doc to let them know AF had arrived and I would be needing them to send an RX to my pharmacy. THEY WERE CLOSED. The answering service lady was VERY rude and not understanding at all. I asked her if there was ANY way at all to get in contact with someone in te office to get the RX and all she said was "the Dr does not do RX's after hours". So, what do I do? Do I call back and make sure she understands the situation or just wait til monday when it may be too late? HELP!

You have to call your doc every month for the RX? My doc prescribed me like 3-4 rounds of it so I could get it when I needed it (depending on whether or not I needed provera or not for my period and stuff). Can your doc do this? And so you can't refill it at all with out them sending it over? And all may not be lost! You may be able to still take it, just later! So keep up hope!

im guessing you'll be ok. I started my clomid on cycle day 5. Cycle days 5-9, than sex sex sex on days 11-17 (we did it every other day) and by the time my period was suppose to be here I was pregnant. So i think as long as you start it by day 5 or so youll be ok

Just got off the phone with the nurse a lil bit ago. I am able to start the Clomid today! I am beyond happy that this cycle is not a total loss. I did let her know about the answering service and she told me that she would let the Dr. know since he is a stickler for that. She also told me that if this cycle on 150 mg of Clomid doesn't work, Dr will refer me to a specialist. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please!! Thanks!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
