I'd like to join, but cannot see where I can add this to some kind of favourite area instead of having to search ... ? I have been TTC for nearly 3 years, had x2 missed miscarriages (Jun 2008 / Feb 2009) and have had some private tests which have shown some things that could potentially have been the 'reason' behind "why". Was told I was not ovulating, which is why I cannot now get pregnant. Just had a hystoscopy as uterus lining showed dark shadows but they found nothing ... also AMH test results were that I have very few eggs (IVF not an option any more!). After op he bizarrly said just to keep trying and get pregnant ... mmmm had to remind him that I wasn't ovulating and now have to wait for follow up consultant appt (15th Jun). He mentioned clomid to me in last appt, so I'm hoping he'll give me this on 15th (it does sound daunting though). Tablets, scans, dosage etc.
Does anyone know if clomid will help with egg reserve ...? I have to give this one last try (3 strikes and out) before moving onto other options, although these are reducing fast!
Good luck to everyone ....
Hi KJMM and welcome!
I hear ya, that sounds so frustrating. Do you know what your FSH # was? How low was the egg reserve? My FSH is actually quite high for my age and so I know we have to move quickly as the reserve is being depleted.

Britt11: hi, I think I know what FSH means, follicles (something..). When I had the private test/scan the count was 4 or 5 (very low) and recent AMH test was lower (Consultant didn't specify - doh! but he did go on to say that IVF was not an option)
To be honest I was going to give up and not do clomid, can't go through another miscarriage (they tested my last .. found Trisomy 6 (which may or may not happen again). Excellent news that clomid could help with quality of eggs ... one last go, bring on clomid
usually means your reserve and egg quality is great, what you dont want is 
or higher than 10. Mine was 9/10 which is not good.... good luck to you on your 21 day bloods. Are you temping at all? you got a +ve opk already right?
If you did not need to repeat your CD 3 bloods that means they were stellar, good for you hon- a huge hurdle you dont need to go over.
AWWWWWWWWWWWW Lou!!!! I'm so happy for you, you have to be over the moon hun
