I'm 36 and have been ttc for 16 months now, so you are definitely NOT alone in this.

Hey ladies,

How is everyone doing?
Gregsprincess - how are you getting this month?

I'm waiting for AF to start next week so I can start my injections - eek!

Ive been taking agnus castus this cycle hoping it may regulate hormones a bit and i dont seem to be having mood swings like normal am still waiting for ovulation though so I can be in the other tww!

Bet it's taking forever for af to arrive now you want to start your injections. I hope that it gives you a BFP 1st time

Hiya,

Just wondering how everyone was getting on? My partner and i have been back to the fs, everything else was normal (SA, HSG etc) so i've now been prescribed clomid, just debating when to start taking it as we are getting married 3.6.12.

Currently have mixed feelings i've been coping well as been distracted by planning the wedding, but feeling upset today prob cuz i'm tired and a bit under the weather, but i am the type to become obsessed and overwhelmed.

Part of me thinks we should start straight away, cuz who knows if it'll work etc, part of me thinks it'll be sods law and i'll fall first time and whilst being pregnant at the wedding doesnt bother me at all i've picked a dress that wont be very bump friendly lol.

I'm worried about the side effects (i'm th etype of person who only takes pills if i'm dying) and the added pressure with planning the wedding too and what do i tell my boss when i have to disappear for scans and appointments etc??!

Part of me feels pressured that now we've been down this route we are on the conveyor belt and i have no choice but to take it and if that doesnt work then IUI/IVF and as much as i'm desperate for a baby i'm just not sure i can cope

Oh what to do........... help please

Natashaa1 have you tried any of the natural alternatives to clomid instead?
I would be the same in your situation especially as you are already planning your wedding.
It's a hard decision to make and if everything else is fine and you don't feel comfortable taking the clomid yet perhaps give it until after your wedding to perhaps try it sorry I'm not more help I really don't know very much about clomid and the only person I ever spoke to about it ended up having IUI to get pregnant. Good luck

I've been taking agnus catus for a few months and this seems to have regulated my cycles which i think must be a good sign, either that or the distraction of wedding planning has lowered my stress levels for now, although i'm sure i'll be getting stressed about that soon lol?

I started agnus castus this cycle and it's the longest I've ever had I'm on cd40 ATM still waiting for AF to arrive and getting BFN

I guess it's starting to work for you if cycles are regulating, I heard it can take three months for it to really make an effect on some women. I hope you manage to get a BFP without going down the clomid route.

It must be quite exciting and distracting though planning for your wedding I could use a project to take my mind off everything! Are you having a big wedding?
