After reading BB for almost a year, here I am with my story:
33.y.o, 12 year old son, TTC#2 for 6 months. Last 3-4 years my cycles changed - exactly at 24 hours after confirmed ovulation (OPK and Sono) - I start spotting and spot all the way till AF. Because I am also temping, I see that my temps stay up while spotting and drop exatly the day AF arrives. LP anywhere from 10-13 days, that is if I consider elevated temps after ovulation to be LP.
What do doctors say - after years of trying to fix the spotting with regulat obgyns I moved to RE. He first did series of blood tests, including genetic, AMH, fragile-x, etc. and the following:
HSG, Hysteroscopy.
ALL tests came back normal. DH also got tested and his results are as follows:
Motility - 61%, Morphology - 7%, Count - 80 mil. RE said that results are good, the volume was a little smaller than it should have been, but said that most likely DH was stressed or dehydrated.
So, the next course of action that my RE proposes - Clomid. Eventhough I ovulate on my own, he said that Clomid might help with the spotting in the luteal phase by producing more quality and more mature eggs.
I am a bit reluctant to start off with Clomid 100mg right of the bat, and thinking of asking for 50mg for the first cycle.
Oh yeah, B-6 and Vitex did not help, I actually had more spotting while taking them.
Anyone else in the same boat with spotting? Taking Clomid? What is your experience with it? Any other ideas?
This Forum is great and many girls have been through a lot. I wish everyone to get pg soon!
