Hi Girls, I am really after some advice. For those of you who don't know my story here it is in a nutshell.
I am 34 and my DH is 33, I have been off BCP for 2 years and we have not used protection since. I have regular 27/28 day cycles and a luteral phase of 13/14 days. Have been TTC properly using Preseed and OPKs (BDing on days 9,10, 12, 13, 14, 15 and all other variations) for over a year and nothing. Went to the doctors in August this year and had my my 21day bloods - came back normal and confirmed I am ovulating. DH had SA test done and they also came back OK (cant remember the details exactly, wish I had written them down but I think the volume was 24 and something like 56 for motility ???) Doctor said if we weren't TTC he would recommend that we used protection as there is a high risk I would fall pregnant. My doctor is really nice and will happily sit and listen and give advice. During our appointment for the test results he recommended we give it another 3 months till November and if I still haven fallen pregnant he will put me on Clomid.
Well the from hell arrived on time yesterday and I am absolutely devestated. I cried myself to sleep last night and this morning I look like shite I had an argument with my DH last night as well which didnt help and it was of course because he was upset that my period had started. I am feeling really down and under so much pressure to fall pregnant (just got a sorry test from DH this morning!). I have tried just 'relaxing and not worrying about it, going away on holiday, weekends away but it has made no difference'. Perhaps we should just take a break from it all but time is passing us by ??? I am going to go back to the doctors next week to have an internal exam done and to get my prescription for Clomid.
My questions are:
* Clomid ...now I know it helps to stimulate ovulation but how exacly will it help me as my bloods confirmed I do ovulate and I always get a dark or darker line on an OPK on day 13 or 14 of my cycle ???
* Do you girls think that I should ask to be refered to a FS? Are we just wasting time if there is something else going on inside me ?
* If you were in my situation where would you go from here ??? I just don't know what I should do and would really like to hear from you all.
* Sorry for the ramble, sitting in work feeling very down right now......
