TTC and frustrated - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

My hubby and I have been TTC since October. I've taken 4 treatments of clomid, 50mg and this last time even got a shot, but I don't know what it was, to help me ovulate. Every month we see eggs growing, but nothing happens. I also have a thyroid problem and history or endometriosis. The gyn is baffled and has ordered a lap for me to do. This will be my third one since 1999. I am so sad about it. I had one son in 2000 from taking clomid but had him on the 3rd try. No luck. I am thinking of trying to have my hubby retested to see if it's him. But I really think it's me. I mean the past two cycles I've had, I've had to induce with hormones to FORCE AF out of me!! I'm waiting for it now so I can schedule my lap. I'm just so scared to do it again and I wonder why I just can't have a baby!! You see all those people out there who don't deserve one or shouldn't have one, or don't want one, and it just makes me crazy. Anyone else experience this kind of thing?

Do you have a regular AF, with no ovulation? Or do you not have an AF as well? The reason I ask is that I went of off the pill over 6 months ago and have only had one AF.

Just wondering what your doctor has given you to induce your AF?

H19 I was giving provera to induce AF.

Jinx...... Have you tried taking your temp to see if you are O'ing? If you know for sure your not then that is something your doctor can go on. If you are then it may be time for your Dh to be retested. Right now not knowing for sure one way or the other if the clomid is working the dr is kinda lost and just hoping to get lucky and find something that could be the problem.
If you do O and Dh is good I would say give clomid another few months and then talk to the dr about IUI.

I hope this helps some. I know the feeling all to well of TTC and seeing or hearing about other women that is pg. I still feel so out of place on the pregnancy board I feel so at home here in TTC.

Good luck if I can help you in anyway please let me know I will tell you anything that helped me and what didn't. After 7 years of TTC I should be a pro

Hi. I was away for a few days, sorry. But I m taking medicine called primolut, that is a german name, since I am in Germany, to induce my period. I know it's hormones, but I don't know which one. You may know which hormone initiates AF? My AF is not normal. It is more regular when taking clomid, but when I stop taking the clomid, no AF without this medicine.

I have to look and see what DH is, but the reason we are using clomid is bec that is how I had my first son 7 years ago. But, I have a history of endometriosis so he doesn't want to continue treatment without checking if that is what is stopping me from conceiving. I tried checking my temp and it gave no clue. It was always high and I was never pregnant, so that didn't work. I have a thyroid problem as well, so my temp is off I think.

Still waiting for AF. Took these pills last on Saturday, waiting to see what happens!

Thanks. I'm sure Provera will likely be my next step. I still have not had a period...going on CD 95!!
