Before you take Clomid, you need to ensure that you need the drug at all. As it is only available via prescription, you should visit your gynecologist or fertility specialist to have a complete fertility workup. Infertility can result from numerous different causes. It is important to determine the cause of your infertility in order to ensure proper treatment. Most likely, your doctor will recommend your partner have a fertility workup done as well. If your doctor decides that your problem is anovulation and prescribes you Clomid, discuss the protocol she is using for your case. Your protocol may include different things such as a trigger medication for your ovulation. The protocol will also include the introduction of sperm, which can be through natural intercourse or intrauterine insemination (IUI). IUI is when the doctor places the sperm into the uterus to help ensure that it is in the right place. The doctor will also schedule multiple appointments for blood work or ultrasounds to continue to check your health and the state of your reproductive organs. Before each of your treatments, you will need to check in with your doctor at the beginning of your period to ensure that you are still healthy. Usually, you can check in with your doctor via a phone consultation. If you do not have a period of your own, your doctor may prescribe progesterone to induce it. It is important to contact your doctor early because she may need a baseline ultrasound to check for cysts before starting your treatment cycle. This process may continue throughout your treatment because cysts may have developed as a result of your last Clomid cycle.

Whether you purchase your supplies at a dollar store or at your local craft store, you will need foam marshmallow, cardstock, a cotton swab, a wooden bead, glue and paint. Create a lampshade using foam marshmallow, use the wooden bead to create a detailed lamp base, cover the lampshade with the cardstock, and use the cotton swab as your lamp post. Foam marshmallow is a small piece of foam that looks exactly like marshmallow. Cardstock is similar to scrapbook paper but thicker. Choose your prefered colours as craft stores often carry a wide variety. Avoid using super glue on foam as it is strong enough to disintegrate it. Choose a colour that fits the scheme of your furniture set. It will save you money if you are able to use your paint on multiple pieces of furniture. Use a fine tipped paint brush which can be purchased at your local crafts or art supply store. Using a pin or razor, poke a hole in the foam marshmallow at its center. Cut the cotton tips off of the cotton swab and use the remaining wood shaft as your lamp post by inserting it into the hole at the center of the foam marshmallow. Place the other end of the lamp post into the wooden bead and adjust to your prefered height. Use sharp scissors to cut the cotton swab as dull scissors may cause it to splinter. Cut in small increments to ensure that you don't make your lamp too short. Place the cardstock around the foam marshmallow to measure the height and width of your lampshade. Be sure to add some extra leeway on the height so you can fully cover the foam. Once satisfied with your measurement, cut the cardstock and glue it onto the foam marshmallow for your lampshade. Add a drop of glue into the opening of the bead and stick the cotton swab in to complete the lamp. Center foam before gluing the cardstock. Make sure that there is a small space at the bottom and top of your lamp shade. Allow each piece to dry completely.

After several days or weeksdepending on your dogof on-leash training, choose an enclosed area, and see if you can get your dog to come while off leash. If he doesn't respond to the command, you may have to start using the back-up method again to make him chase you. Remember that the process will take time and patience, so don't allow yourself to get frustrated if your dog doesn't quite understand yet the first time you take him off his leash. The important part is to keep trying. Also, avoid repeating the command over and over if it's proving ineffective. Each time you repeat the command without the dog understanding, you risk weakening the association he had already begun to form with the command. If he's not responding at all, go back to using the long-leash training for another day or two before trying again. If you do initially have to take a step or two backward to initiate the behavior, reduce those steps, take smaller steps, and other similar actions to wean your dog off needing you to move to respond to the command. Occasionally ask him to come when he is not expecting you to. For example, call him when he is sniffing around the yard to test his attention to the command. As you try to increase the distance from which you recall your dog, you may have to get help from another person. The restrained recall variation involves having someone else hold your dog still, so you can get farther away without your dog following along. When you're ready, issue the command once (along with any hand signals you may also be teaching) and have the person restraining your dog let go. As always, use your clicker if clicker training and offer plenty of positive reinforcement when your dog reaches you. The best way for the person holding the dog to restrain him is by lacing fingers across his chest. Once your dog is successfully responding to the command for you, a round-robin approach offers new challenges and complexity to the process. Have two or three additional people besides yourself stand in a large circle at least twenty feet apart, and then have people on different sides of the circle take turns issuing the command and having your dog come. Make sure that each person has the proper amount of time to give your dog praise and a treat before the next person issues the command. Remember to use the clicker if you're clicker training and to have each person use the proper signal if you're using hand signals in addition to the command. After you feel more comfortable with your dog's progress, alter the training environment and increase your dog's exposure to distractions. If you notice that your dog always seems distracted during training, you should backtrack and work in a familiar setting again before moving onto more complicated environments. Make sure that you never progress all the way to open areas (or even enclosed park dogs where safety may be an issue) until your dog is successfully obeying the command in various locations with all different levels of distraction. If your dog is consistently struggling to make the leap from obeying the command on his leash to obeying it while off his leash, then don't be afraid to get help from a professional dog trainer. A training session with an instructor can guide you through these difficulties. You can also contact a professional trainer or canine behaviorist to get more advice. Each dog is different and therefore not every dog learns in exactly the same way.
