Hello!
My name is Ellie, I'm 20 and new to this site! So new in fact I'm not even sure I've posted this in the correct section. I'm looking for some advice really
I'm a lesbian, and me and my partner have been trying to conceive for over a year with donor sperm, with a man who came recommended from another lesbian couple who have had a child with him. My partner already has a little girl from a past relationship so I am the one who wants to become pregnant.
We've been trying for a year with no success and I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS. I have no other fertility issues such as a blocked Fallopian tube. I've had 3 periods in the last year.I have an appointment with my doctor in a few days to discuss possibly going on clomid or a similar drug.
My question is, how does clomid work? I understand it will help me to ovulate but when do I take it? How often? When should I test if I am ovulating if my periods are as irregular as they are? How often should I be being inseminated with the donor sperm whilst on clomid?
Is there anyone here who has pcos who has got pregnant with donor sperm through clomid? I'd love to hear your stories
I'm frankly a little scared that this isn't going to work for us and that I'll never have a child of my own.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated
Thankyou in advance
Ellie
