Hi Ali,Yikes! I have a bunch of emergencies at work, and you all get very chatty!
JenSC - good to hear from you! Don't forget you want to4 days before you get a positive OPK, and 2 days after (every other day). So if you are starting to see the stick darken then you should start having
every other day! Also, clomid is not meant to be an every month thing, there is an increased risk of certain cancers for those women using it more than 3-4 months in a row. So you need to get your DH on board and do whatever you need to do to get him to do his part. Some FS's will allow you to go a few months more, but there are studies that show it does increase your risk of ovarian cancer (don't quote me on the type, but I think its ovarian).
Yes, I know Clomid is a short term thing- I think I would only be on it two more months (I have been on 50 mg and would increase to 100mg per the doctors plan) but I think I am going to give it up. My husband has horrible allergies and could only manage sex on the day of the opk+. He was working long hours leading up to it, and the day after the positive, we tried to have sex and he kept losing his erection and couldn't finish. (I don't know if I am allowed to say that- you all use the "BD" euphemism, but I figure it is only adults here.)
I think we are done with this. I am frustrated by my husband's attitude that we have lots of time. In my opinion, we do not.
It can be really tough to continue to push forward toward something when your spouse is mybe not being (or seeming) as serious? I know it can be super difficult. Try not to give up yet! How old are you? I will be 38 in April and told my dh if we seriously thought we would want more children after this then we should start very soon. I know up into 45 and etc is still not too old imho....it all depends on health according to my doctor. He says if you are healthy then your eggs are healthy





How long have you been on clomid? I used it once also. Do you have reg cycles?
