Hi i have been trying for a child now for 6 years, i already have a 7 year old child and since her i'v done nothing but trying. I only went to sort this out last year and found out i had PCOS which made me depressed so i never went back to speak to them till just before crimbo this one gone, and they scanned me and said that it's gone now i'm ok but still nothing so they did an x ray on me a few months ago and tested my tubes and womb to see if there was cysts blocking them and nope there fine but i'v had about 6 blood test's done to see if i'm ovulating but nothing they couldn't tell my result's kept coming back as not sure or cannot tell.which i find is weird.
I used to have very irregular periods since my daughter i went for a whole year on my period missing a couple of days here and there but basicly non stop for a whole year but in the past year or so they have become so regular it's near enough to the exact day now which is good.
They started me on clomid 50mg days 5/9 and said best days to try is 13th to 15th days from the start of your period. but other people are telling me different ways and i don't know what to do for the best i can never tell when im ovulating the ovulation kits are to expensive so i got a thermomiter and i just keep forgetting to use it in the morning lol im on my 15th day today we had intercourse for the last 2 days but missed 3 days before as to tired which is stupid tbh so today should be my day so we will see.
My gyno wasn't to encouraging towards clomid but it was my choice to try it if i hadn't of mentioned clomid he wouldn't have put me on it,
My partner got his sperm test he's more than good with his count so my gyno basicly think's i should be able to do it naturaly without tablets he doesn't know why i'm not falling pregnant but it's been 6 years for gods sake lol
hi itook clomid for just 1 month and i got pregnant now my child is 3in july .im on my first month of clomid again lets cee is it works this time
Thanks for wishing me luck in cycle department, Lord knows I need it :)
As far as getting the thyroid checked, I would make sure if I were you. I had my thyroid checked in August 2010 and they only checked my TSH level, which was 2.96. According to my doctor that was in normal range. However from August 2010 to March 2011, I continued to struggle with not getting my period or ovulating. I was on rounds of progestrone and clomid, which were not working either. Very frustrating! I ended up taking a break from all the meds and seeing a holistic doctor. He is the one that suggested I get my thyroid checked. I had my TSH levels checked again along with my T3, T4, Vitamin D. My TSH level was 47.8 (normal range according to my doctor is 0.5 to 5.0) My T3, T4 and Vitamin D were all low as well. This pointed towards hypothyroidism, which affects menstraul cycles as well. Some doctors do not check the TSH, T3, T4 and Vitamin D, but in order to see the whole picture they should. I would make sure they are all checked.
As far as symtoms go, I was extremely tired/fatigue no matter how much sleep I got. I also gained 22 lbs in a year. Something I am not proud of.... however I hadn't changed my eating habits so it shouldn't have changed that much! Along with not getting my period, I also have had a history of indigestion issues, dry skin, moodiness, slight depression at times, consitpation and these are all signs of hypothyroidism and I didn't know this before. I only associated weight gain and fatigue symptoms not all the other things. Therefore I think it's always worth a check.
Hi There!
I actually have heard about the thyroid being an issue in regards to fertility. I am pretty sure I have had it checked but not positive. How exactly do they check it? I will definitely ask my nurse, just to be on the safe side ;-). Thank you so much for mentioning that, it honestly had slipped my mind. Now, does having thyroid problems cause fatigue?
I am so excited for you that you are finally getting a cycle! YAY!! It has to be a good sign!!!! I wish you all of the luck in the world!! Keep us updated :)
You are more than welcome for all of the info : ). I am truly glad that I can help!!
Let me know how things go, keep us updated! Keeping you in prayer!! Thank you for the baby dust!!!
