What I'm going to say may not pertain to what you're experiencing as with the exception of when I was NTNP with my ex-husband, I have never been anywhere close to TTC, so I've never done anything medically to help me conceive. What I did do was naturopathic remedies as I previously had suspected endometriosis (never had a biopsy to confirm, had no insurance, but was hospitalized about 10 times for it over the years) and I wanted to have a better chance of conceiving in the future when I was ready, so I started drinking raspberry leaf tea and a tea called conceptions tea which the herbs damiana, red raspberry, scullcap, licorice root, ho-shou-wu, ashwagandha, dong quai, burdock root, wild yam, yellow dock, and ginger, all associated with helping with the entire reprodutive system in some way (was already in a prepared tea so I just bought it and didn't have to go find and mix the herbs myself.) I then did a naturopathic supplement program that involved a few liver cleanses and became pregnant immediately after this without trying.
So I think pregnancy occurs best when nutritional systems are tried over medical systems simply because I went the medical route and didn't conceive for 9 years, and then I suddenly try nutrition and naturopathy and suddenly become pregnant without trying. The body can heal SO many diseases and malfunctions if it has the right nutrients and hydration - it really is an incredible machine. Sometimes medicine is necessary but I think overall just focusing on herbs and a good diet and nutrition will do more for anyone than prescription synthetic chemicals and/or surgeries. THEN I think the other element that helps women get pregnant successfully is not even bothering to chart, not stressing with OPK's, not over-analyzing ovulation symptoms and CM, because I personally think that MUST heighten the stress hormones in the body and I can imagine that alone acting almost like a contraceptive. I think I've heard LOTS of stories of women who were going nuts, seeing fertility specialists, charting, temping, using OPK's, being very clinical about the whole thing for YEARS without success, and then the couple decides, "Screw it, let's just have fun" and then becomes pregnant within months lol
This is just my opinion and like I say I've never been on clomid. I DID have problems with cysts and hormone imbalance and what was suspected but never diagnosed with biopsy as endometriosis that I struggled with for about two decades. I went through years of pain and agony, so when I say that as far as fertility and reproductive problems are concerned, I SWEAR by naturopathic methods efficacy over traditional western medicine's approach, I know a thing or two about what I'm talking about lol. There were p-l-e-n-t-y of little "Oops! The condom fell off" moments or things like it for me over the past decade where by all rights and where I was in my cycle I should have gotten pregnant, but didn't. I only became pregnant after starting nutritional therapy and that is also, incidentally, when I stopped having crippling periods that would last for four months straight and land me up in the hospital.
So I'm not sure exactly what you're facing with your reproductive health but I had some pretty gnarly stuff going on and I'd encourage you to try some natural remedies and also to just try to relax about ttc and have fun with your partner because I think with those two things you have a better chance of conceiving faster and with less stress
