2 years trying and 6 months on Clomid and still no baby.

Hi everyone I'm from the UK and new to his forum. Me and my husband have been trying for over 2 years, we have been with a fertility clinic for 8month. I'm just about to finish my 6 months on Clomid and it's soul destroying. We have been using ovulation kits and trying really hard and still no pregnancy. Next step will be IVF, once we get referred by our specialist. Is there anyone on here from the UK who has gone through Ivf on the Nhs? I was wondering how long you waited before treatment started.

Thanks you everyone. I'm already under a specialist, my next appointment is in June. He said last time I saw him that if the clomid doesn't work we will be referred to an IVF clinic.

Clomid may not work for all, you may have to widen your treatment options, either IUI or something else, now that it's been 2 years you tried, you got to get aggressive and track it closely.

I used Clomid for maybe 10 mths and nothing.  My period was getting lighter every mth.  I hv stopped Clomid for 2 mths.  I read that Clomid could make your uterine lining thinning.  Hoping my period will be back to normal soon.  I will suggest you see a fertility specialist.  I even went for IUI during my Clomid cycle 7.  That failed too.  My gynae wants me to try a few more IUI but i told him its time for me to go to the specialist as im 35 and i dont wish to waste time.  Good luck to you.

Also I use clear blue ovulation kits.

Can I get that medication in the UK?
My husbands tests came back over average so he doesn't have a problem. I've got very low progesterone so thats why they wanted to try the clomid.
I didn't think we would need IUI as I thought it was for couples were the man had a problem and it may not be free on the Nhs.
