Not ovulating

[shamanda]

I just found out that I am not and have not been ovulating for several months. This past month  I took Clomid, but still didn't ovulate.  Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did you remedy the situation?  I'll take Clomid again once I start my period again, but if that doesn't work, what else do they/can they do?  Thanks.

Hi All,

Im new to this IUI situation but not the PCOS.... I found out i had PCOS out of a fluke ultrasound for a sore tummy, Dr said to get my ovaries removed because there were that many cysts and they could turn cancerous......I decided to get a second opinion (i was 19) come to find out i was actually pregnant at the time. 12 yrs later i have three children all concieved naturally but now we want a fourth and we have been to a specialist to watch my ovulation come to find out i to am not ovulating!!! Im terrified to take the drugs for side effects to me but also long term health effects like cancer to myself and possibly the fetus if i do fall......What have your Dr's told you about the meds?? And with PCOS and these drugs what the chances of twins or more????
Would love some help. Thanks :)

I took 50mg. of Clomid and I didn't ovulate and I have a question.  The dr. says he can't raise the clomid dose until I bleed but what if I dont bleed?  Dont you need to ovulate in order to bleed or does he mean that "breakthough bleeding" that is not a true period and what if that doesn't happen. Does anyone have any advice I am old I started trying to have a baby when I was in my 40's and I think I just have to face that I waited too long.  I can't take the pain anymore.

I can relate in more ways than 1. Took first course of 50mg clomid in March 2009..and fell pregnant, but miscarried at 5 weeks...had D&C. then took a break for few months...then July and August took 100mg of clomid only to find out i have a cyst and endometriosis...had cyst removed in October...Beginning of this month took 50mg clomid again and i went for check up on Friday the 18th and have another cyst and now i am NOT ovulating...Dr says to leave it and to take 100mg clomid next month! I am MORE than despondent! If that does not work he says IVF BUT at R25 thou a month...who the hell can afford that!
Anyone is same situation?

Hello everyone!  I feel the same. This is my first month with clomid 50mg.  I am on day 21 and no ovulation.  Very discourage.  My doctor said some people get pregnant with clomid on their six tries (six months).  I have to keep telling myself to be positive and it will work.  Don't keep up!  I will let you guys know when I get pregnant.  Good luck to all of us in the same boat. :)

OK so my husband & I have been TTC for like 8 years!  I am 32 he is 37...But finally got in w/ fertility specialist 6 months ago... All my tests came back good, my bloodwork, the dye test, and I even had an Endo biop test which came back good and showed that I had ovulated...  My husband's sperm seemed to be an issue (but we never thought it bc he has a son from previous relationship)...His volumne was slightly low and morphology also slightly low... Been doin OPK got LH surge on day 15 after AF (is that period), soo Today we went for insemination.. we had sex last nt & this morning bc no one told us not to.. Needless to say they showed us his guys on the grid in the scope...there should have been 100, there were 2!!!! So we couldn't do insemination...but Dr wanted to go ahead and do vag ultrasound to chk my Ov... He checks it and my lil tiny wanna b egg is like 8mm instead of being 26mm...so now I am a problem:(
I am so lost and confused!  We will be having a meeting w/ specialist again next week as now we have 2 problems not just 1...
I am so desperate to have a baby or 2 I just keep getting excited only to be told something discouraging..I am really confused..Did I just not Ov this month? Why would the OPK say I am going to???
