Wondering what to do next... Clomid???

[purechaos109]

So I really don't know what should happen next! Over the course of the last 3 months I have had almost every woman test done (with the exception of the big ones because it was decided I didn't need them after the littler ones were done and everything looks healthy and good) and nothings wrong with me! So now what? I was contemplating going in and asking my dr if Clomid might be something we could try! She told me wait 3 months and chart before we discussed it again but I just couldn't bring myself to do the temping again it drove me nuts the first month I did it I literally thought I was going to die I was so depressed!

I've tried doing research but I kinda have a short attention span so I didn't make it through all the info (most but not all) about clomid but is it only used when the woman is not ovulating? I'm so lost right now! I want my April baby so bad and this is basically my only month to get it! I'm about 1-2 days before AF but not expecting anything since its my lot in life and my best friend is giving birth on monday I figure it just won't happen so I am trying to think ahead! I want to try everything I can think of this month! Obviously clomid is out of the question since my dr is out of town till the 20th but I still wanted to talk to her about it!!

Can anyone think of any other random ideas? I have tried softcups & EPO but my system can't handle most vitamins so I haven't tried vit c or zinc out of fear since the last time I took a vit c tablet I wound up with a migraine to top all other migraines (which says something since i get 3-7 migraines a week)!

Just thought I would see if anyone has anyother ideas Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your struggles. I know how it feels when everyone is pregnant but you. I have also been put through a lot of testing and everything was normal, except I was not ovulating. My gyno immediately put me on Provera and Clomid. Did your doc mention if you were ovulating at all? Are your cycles normal? My cycles vary but I always get one. I have tried using opk's and never have gotten a positive so I was not that surprised when he said I wasn't ovulating. I am also like you because I find it hard to do BBT BUT I will do anything to have a baby so I am doing it! Your doc might need that additional information before putting you on a treatment plan. Also, I was considering getting some preseed to use (guess it couldn"t hurt) I am going to keep my fingers crossed for you XX

Thank you! How did your dr determine that you weren't ovulating? The one month I charted My chart showed I ovulated but the OPK's came back negative! I am going to start charting once AF shows up but I'm not looking forward to it and would rather pay for them to do a test to find out if I am ovulating than go through the depression and craziness of temping! Preseed Is an idea i hadn't really thought of before!! Does it work? For having been trying for as long as I have you'd amagine I would know this stuff but I have tried to take the more laid back approach and not go crazy (everyone keeps telling me not to worry and stress about it but honestly i'm the most laid back LTTTC person I've met)! Thank you again for responding to my post!

Someone who has had this done would be able to verify, but you have blood tests at CD3 and CD21 to test to see if you ovulated. I believe it tests hormone levels

I had blood tests to check my hormone levels, an abdominal ultrasound and a trans vaginal ultrasound. So he called me in to discuss results and stated I was not ovulating. So he started me on progesterone to clean me out and as soon as my cycle starts, I am to take clomid on days 5-9 (kinda nervous). I have to go in for bloodwork on cycle day 21 to check serum progesterone (I think that is to see if I ovulated). Do not feel like you are the only laid back ltttc because I have been ttc for four years, and I have just last month went to seek assistance. I think I just wanted some answers before I turn 30. I had always assumed it would eventually happen. BUT it hasn't! I got curious and went to get some books, did some research, tried a little BBT and some OPKs but I never remembered to temp and never got a positive OPK. After a while, I got a little depressed (so u are not the only one) After my appointment, my doc made me feel like this could really happen and so I am going to give it my all! I am getting preseed, opks, gonna temp...the whole nine yards! Just don't give up! I haven't and I been struggling for four years. We are gonna get our BFP!!

Thank you both! i really was having trouble finding out about that 21 day test!!

from what I was reading about pre seed its really only if you have vaganal dryness or if you use lube already! I saw a pic of before lube and after lube and before pre seed and after pre seed and altho it shows that there is still quite a bit after pre seed its still decreased after using pre seed!! Made me a little leery!!

Also now i'm having new issues I'm going to post this on the board to see if I can get a few more people to look with out having to read through this post and see if someone else has heard of this!

but my cycles are now getting longer and longer! I've been regulated at 27-29 days for 12 months and now all the sudden they are 30-32 days I don't get it! This doesn't' make sense!!
