Hi Ladies!
I have read so many of your posts and thought after a day like today I would jump in. Sometimes it's so hard when there is no one to talk to that's in the same situation. I am 32, soon to be 33 and my DH is newly 32. My DH and I have been TTC #1 for about 14-15 months. For the first few months I wasn't tracking or using OPK's, that happened around month 4. I had my FSH (9.5) and AMH (.18) done as well as my progesterone on day 3 (11.2 my doc let me know that I ovulated). After the testing about a month and a half ago, my RE put me on pregnitude along with all of the supplements I was already taking:
Prenatal
DHA
CoQ10
The first month (January) was great, I had a 28 day cycle and I ovulated but my cycles are always 28 days and I always get the OPK smiley faces around cycle day 13-14. This month I started having a lot of cramps at cycle day 25 (Wednesday) around 5pm and I started spotting brown blotchy blood with a few small clots. It lasted for an hour and a half and then the cramping stopped as well as the bleeding. I honestly thought I was pregnant and that it was implantation bleeding but then I was awakened at 3am by the most painful cramps ever. There was a lot of blood and a lot of cramping...it took 4 advil for me to fall asleep it was so bad. The next few days were pretty bad and I found it strange that I was still spotting on Monday because my periods are always 5 days. I didn't have a HPT so I took an OPK and it came out with a smiley face. I got a little excited but then I checked 3 hrs later and no smiley face. I let my RE know what was happening and she ordered a blood test for my hcg, progesterone and my estradiol levels. It all came back extremely low. She then called the lab and asked them to check my FSH and it was at 40!!! She called me at work and wanted me to come in for an ultrasound right away which I did and she counted only 1 follicle on each side, I was so devastated....I had an ultrasound a month ago and there were 4 on each side. She basically said that we need to be aggressive now and I just freaked. I have been crying all day. She also mentioned that it could possibly be a fluke month though (I am so hoping). I'm so upset because I have been taking so many supplements and herbs from my acupuncturist so I figured my FSH would improve. She gave me 100mg of clomid to start tonight for the next 5 days. Is there anybody in a similar situation, I would love to hear your stories. This website gives me so much hope and keeps me positive. I hope all is well with everybody and that this is everybody's lucky month!! Thanks for listening/reading
Ok ladies, So i went to the doctor today, I am convinced she is a quack! I told her that Clomid was just messing up my cycles and giving me horrible mood swings. She then told me that she was just going to have me take six months off. She hasnt tested me to make sure I am even ovulating, She has done nothing but a pap, I have talked to one of my co workers and she was seeing her also, and didn't like her either, my mom also went to her for her a couple years ago and she didn't like her either. She also told me 'stop trying, and take a vacation' I am SO SICK of hearing this!!
Anyway after her telling me this and me leaving I sat our in my car just bawling my eyes out!
So i think i'm going to see another doc.
If I may ask, did you ever have your AMH and FSH levels checked, what was the reasoning to go with clomid. Sorry if I'm asking so many questions...I feel like everything is moving so fast and I have no clue what I am doing~ Thank you so much for the kind words. Trying to stay positive and relaxed. 
reg: welcome!!
Thanks ladies for the welcome! I'm going in for an US next week so hopefully clomid works and I get pregnant this month. I also have my HSG test tomorrow and am a little nervous about this...any advice?
