We have been trying to get pregnant for quite some time now, but it just does not seem to be working...we will see in another eight days if our efforts have been in vain again (but fun).  My cycle is regular, like clockwork.  How do I know if I am even ovulating or if I am just regular without ovulating?  We used those ovulation test stick things for a while, but we still did not end up getting pregnant (wasting our money).  After this month if we are not pregnant, I am going to call my doctor and see what he can do.  Who has taken Clomid and been successful?  When you took it did you end up having multiples or just one?  How long were you taking it before you were successful?

Hopefully someone here will have personal experience to share.  I have had a friend who used Clomid for two of  her pregnancies.  She only had one child each time.  She was very happy with the drug and it helped her tremendously.  They did make her wait until she had been actively trying to get pregnant for a year before her doctor would prescribe it though.

 Sometimes pregnancy happens when you least expect it.  I have read that stress can sometimes be a factor for not being able to conceive.  I am not sure if that is true or not. 

Best wishes and have tons of fun trying...that's the good part!

Even if you aren't pregnant, keep trying if that is what you want to do, and its fun too.......LOL.  I always know when I am ovulating, there is  a jelly substance that comes out of me when I go to the bathroom.  I don't know if everyone has this, but I thought I would put my 2 cents in. Good Luck.

Well after having our first child we tryed for 1 yr, with no results. I did go to the Dr and found out that I don't ovulate anymore. So we started on Clomid. I took for 6 months still with no results. I then had a procedure done, not sure what it was called but it checked to see if my tubes were blocked and cleaned them out. With in I think a week or two I was pregnant. I am currently pregnant with #2 and there is only 1. My Dr told me there was only a 20% chance of multiples.

I did have have to record everything, like days of mensus, intercourse, ovulation, if I took meds and so on. I also did the ovulation strips. From my experience try not to stress about it. It does have an effect on your results and yes it takes the fun out of it all.

Good luck and keep us informed.

Wow there Val!!! I know you desperately want another but ultimatyely   the best thing you can do do is stop trying!!!! RelAX  and let nature take its course , as all studies show thats best way to get pg !!! Lots of good suggestions here, and mostly  I can tell you that only times I EVER got PG was when it was what Id have called Bad Timing at times it occured tho really was just that I WASNT TRYING at those times hehheh  So    Smile and do yourself a great big favour and   love your hubby because you want to   and the baby you have   and let it go , and just TRUST GOD     at least for awhile .... Focus on other things  or you will stay in such a dissappointed stressed out state your body will be unable to produceIll be praying

I totally agree with Antygamma. Take a couple months and just relax & dont think about it so much and try not to sress out over it. If you still arent pregnant, then go and see what your Dr says.

Good luck...when its your time I'm sure you'll get pregnant!

When I was trying to get PG I was not ovulating and did take Clomid to get PG. I was on it for 3 moths and got PG with TWINS!!!! I am not sure if it was the meds or the strong family history of having twins. But my Dr had me take my temp every day with a basle themomiter you can get them at WalMart for like $8.00. It will help you find out if you are ovulating and it is alot cheaper then the kits. It has all the directions in the package. But all you do it first thing in the morning befor you do anything (I mean anything not even talk or move much) you take your oral temp and write it on the chart that they provide for you (I made copyies so I never ran out and enlarged it so I could see it better) and your temp will spike when you ovulate by about 1-2 degrees. My Dr also told me and my hubby to have sex every other day from day the week you ovulate so he will not be to low on supply.

Well I hope that that helped. If you need any more info on it you can ask. It worked for me. Hope all works for you and your hubby.

I don't have personal experience with Clomid, but I do have a close friend who had tried for four years to get pregnant. She had her tubes checked to see if they were blocked (they weren't) and her doctor prescribed Clomid. The only side effect she had with it were intense hot flashes. She took it but did not end up getting pregnant, but after she got off of it, she did get pregnant several months later and now has a healthy little boy. I don't have a lot of medical knowledge, but I wonder if she wasn't ovulating before, and the Clomid helped her to start? If you have been trying to get pregnant for that long, it might be one more thing that you could try.

I was on Clomid to get pregnant with both my little ones. I did Ovlation kits and ended up getting pregnant 4 out of 6 tries (miscarried twice). if you have any questions, please feel free to email or PM me.

The best thing is to relax and let it happen.  Something I have to tell myself too!

Good

i had not been sexualy active till april and i had had sex with my fiance 2 days before i was going to start my period! well the last time i had my period was on march. i always started on 3-15 till 3-20..that was the last time i had been on my period..ive taken multiple pregnancy test and it always came out negative...any advice like what i could do? or is it my fiance thats not ready like maybe its his sperm... I NEED SOME SERIOUSE HELP ABOUT THIS!

hi...i feel like i wrote that myself...i just made an appointment with my gp to talk about clomid, but i know now that it is just for women who are NOT ovulating...sadly..i thought that this was the solution to the never ending waiting game and torture after months and months and one miscarriage then months and months of waiting and trying....aggggggghhhh.

my cycle is also very regular....i use robitussin every month...i chart...sex every 36 hours  etc etc.

i just want to be able to RELAX!!!

 

I think what is best is for everyone just to relax. Enjoy the act of getting pregnant. My husband and I were tryin to get preg with my son and it took us a year. The night I got pregnant we were having a few drinks and watching a good movie *wink* I ended up pregnant.

Just relax and dont think about getting pregnant.  

i agree with you BUT...it is much easier said than done.  i too got pregnant on our wedding night while we were in nicaragua on vacation after trying for seven months..but then had a miscarriage at week 11.  so i think that while "trying to relax" is a great thing to strive for..its always on my mind on some level or another.
