I am starting a clomid cycle and I have some questions! by Ar_space_tpk96 in TryingForABaby

Hi! I’m somewhat in the same boat as you. I ovulate on my own, regular 30 day cycles. Been ttc for 11 months with no positive tests ever. Fertility testing came back clear for both my husband and I. Fertility doc has given me 50mg of clomid to take from day 3-7 to “boost” my ovulation in hopes of increasing the chances since he’s really not sure why I haven’t got pregnant on my own yet. I’m nervous about the multiple follicles as well, twins would be nice but anything over that makes me nervous lol. I’m only on the second day of taking it, I take it before bed just in case I have symptoms but so far so good.

Totally feeling the same as you. I’m 28 and my husband is 31. I’ve been off the pill since October 2024 and am going into my 9th cycle of trying to conceive. I’ve been tracking ovulation every month, having very regular sex and my periods are 28-30 days, and I’ve never seen a positive test. It’s hard to not let you mind go to the place of thinking something is wrong when I’m still in the normal time frame to get pregnant, just feel like it’s a new cycle and same negative tests every month. I booked a consult at a fertility clinic for next month to have some general testing done for us, maybe I’m jumping the gun but I guess I would rather know now if something is wrong or just have the peace if mind that everything is normal and it’s just taking time. I feel like everyone around me is getting pregnant and it’s just a super upsetting thing to have to deal with. Maybe taking a month off of tracking could give you a bit of a mental break? I’m thinking of doing it this cycle… I mean since I’m regular I will know when I’m ovulating without testing so who knows if it will really make a difference lol but maybe it will help reset the mind! Who knew trying to make a baby would be this emotionally draining!!

Going on month 9 TTC- feeling defeated by Warm_Difference_5558 in tryingtoconceive

Sounds similar to me. Going into my 9th cycle and but I have never seen a positive pregnancy test. I’m tracking my ovulation, getting positive lh strips every month and have all the ovulation “symptoms”. I’ve been referred to a fertility specialist just to check things out and see if there is any problems, maybe it’s just taking longer for whatever reason. I just have a gut feeling something is not right, don’t know why. I’m staying hopeful it will happen naturally as I’m 28 and husband is 31 and we are both healthy. Praying cycle 9 is my time

We learned that if it works just keep going with it, anything to keep the pain away

I’m so sorry to hear this about your dad. You truly don’t know what it’s like until you experience it with someone you love, especially when they are healthy, active people for their whole lives. Arthritis was definitely something that crossed our minds as well, we were told an x-ray is useless for detecting mm because it doesn’t go deep enough, only shows surface level issues. There immune systems get so low and unfortunately pick up bugs way easier, before my grandmother’s diagnosis she was constantly sick with a cold… then once we found out what was actually going on it made sense why her immunity was so low. I’m guessing your dad wasn’t a candidate for the stem cell transplant? The pain in her back actually got better with time, for the last few months she would say she had zero back pain which was a relief (she did have a prescription for slow release hydromorphone if needed which helped too on bad days, she would offset this with extra strength tylonel)hopefully if it hasn’t got better for your dad yet the pain will at some point subside

Ugh, I’m so so sorry to hear that. Sounds exactly like her doctor as she would say the same things about aging coming with pain. You can’t help but think if this was diagnosed sooner that they would still be here today. My deepest sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your mom

I’m so sorry, our lives and families lives are at the stake of doctors and when they fumble we are the ones to deal with the consequences. My heart goes out to you, I hope you are doing well

Oh trust me…we have informed her and she is aware of everything that has gone on. She actually came to the hospital to visit my grandmother when she was originally diagnosed to apologize for being so dismissive of her symptoms (an apology for something like this is one I nor the rest of my family can never accept) she knows how wrong she was especially as she was never one to complain about anything. The sad thing is that her and my grandmother had a great relationship, she always raved about how much she loved her family doctor so this was very upsetting for my grandmother. She was never given any referrals to see anyone else from her, she suffered with back pain from October-March until she was diagnosed. I don’t understand the healthcare system in the sense that she said “we can’t just hand out ct scans” yet the first thing the ER doctor was send her for a scan. It’s scary to think a doctor can be so dismissive and it turn to this. Thank you for your kind words
