Hi ladies

Im new to this site today but after burdening dh with more tears today decided it might be an idea to talk to some other people!

Ok, so to give you all a bit of background...I was on depo provera for about 9 years which i ended 2 yrs 3 months ago. As a young girl, I thought this was the best drug ever (no periods to worry about, no pills to take) but now Im a little older (30), I realise that it might not have been the best idea. At no point did my GP tell me that I shouldn't be on the drug for that long either but that's another issue...

We are now in our 11th month ttc and started seeing a private gyn about 6 months ago. He did a lap & dye and found my tubes were blocked and my ovaries were "sleepy". DH is a superstud with no issues at all

WIth my tunes now "ungunked" (sorry tmi!) Dr prescibed Clomid 50mg days 2-6 and confirmed successful ovulation on cycle 2 by u/s. However, after experiencing quite a bit of pain with that ov I was surprised not to really feel anything with cycle 3. I therefore requested more u/s for cycle 4 which is where i am now. Went in on cd10 for scan which revealed a dominant follie of 20mm and uterine lining of 5.4mm. I thought this was a bit on the thin side but hoped it might thicken up a bit before I actually o'ed. I then had a +ve OPK on cd 11 so expected to be o'ing on cd 12. Went back for another scan today (cd14) and was upset to be told that nothing has changed! Follie still 20mm and lining around 5mm. What's going on?! I havent had another +opk since cd12 and have no symptoms of impending O. IS this likely to be a cyst? Has anyone experienced anything similar? Should i be giving up this month?

Thanks

Hi honey, sorry you're here. 1 question how did they un gunk your tubes?

Can they maybe give you something to thicken the lining? Sounds like everything else is goin well, if they could just give you a small boost for the lining?

Thanks so much for replying. It doesn't feel like its all going well. Feel really rubbish today. He unblocked them using brute force I think! He pushed some liquid through them during my lap and remarked on how much pressure he had to use so I guess they were pretty blocked! It's good to know they should be nice and clear now though I suppose!

Just feel like I'm getting nowhere fast really. Not sure that clomid is the right choice for someone whose lining is probably already thin from years of depo. Think I might spend too much time self diagnosing on the Internet...
