Hi, My name is Yessica,
I feel like i am driving myself and my husband crazy. Oh before i forget, I have an 8 year old princess and that pregnancy was easy, Back then i was on the depo too, got off it and a month later there was a big possitive line. well my story began last Novemeber (2011). I got my last shot of Depo after using it for about 6 years on and off. I get it the shot stays in your body for a while after stoping. I was not having a period the entire time i was on depo. well around May 2012 the doctor gave me Clomid (50mg) for 5 days. and then he gave me the HCG shot. well June can and went and i had spotting but not a period. July pass and nothing, not even a spot of blood. at the end aug 2012 the doctor gave me another round of Clomid (50mg) and on day 12 in sep 2012 had an ultrasound and the follicles looked perfect. right ovary had a follicle that was 25mm, 22mm and 18mm in size. the doctor didnt even bother to look at the left size. well that day i got the HCG shot and the doctor said go home and have sex. so me and my husband did just that. we did the waiting game for the next two weeks. and then when we thought everything was good, there goes my period. now the doctor wants us to try another round of clomid and go back on day 12 (20 Oct 2012). The doctor is telling me that my body is finally back to normal and that is a good thing i got a period since it came on its own without any other drug to make me have it. well now my husband is leaving to afganistan and if we do it again , it will be that last time we can try until a year from now. Sorry if it took so long to explain. now that i had said it all my biggest question is how come the clomid is not working if my body is back to normal from depo? and how long is it goin to take for me to get pregnant at this rate? any information that you guys can provide will be helpful. I odnt want to loose hope but i dont know what else to do. Thank you for your help in advance.

Unfortunately Clomid only helps with ovulation, not getting pregnant. I have read there are some sucesses with first rounds of clomid but more sucesses with 2+ doses. I am praying my first round worked, but I am trying to hold the realistic thought in my mind that it may not have. It could happen at any point of each dose, but its not guarenteed. Did your doctor only tell you to BD that once? have you been using BBT or OPK's? if this is your last month to be able to try before your husband leaves I would bring that up to your doctor. Maybe there is something else he can do for you. I hope you have lots of luck and get your BFP before he leaves

Let me start by saying, I wish you all the luck in the world on your first cycle of clomid. and yes we follow my ovulation very closely. after i get the HCG shot, ovulation happens with 24 to 48 hours. Let me ask you something, is this your first round of clomid ever? the reason i ask if because no matter how many article online i had read i still have question regarding this medication. Like what are my chances of having twins? or how is this medication have a bad side? anyways thank you for your help, i hope things work out for. best of luck.
