Hi ladies!
I've made a couple of posts the last few weeks. My husband and I(38 yrs old) are blessed to have 4 children; we love them so much and would love more....
We've tried unsuccessfully for 12 months...my OB has given me a couple of tests: thyroid test(fine), cycle day 3 ovarian reserve test(very good), progesterone (good;probably could be a little better...). I seem to be ovulating (OPK tests are +, fertile mucus, mid-cycle pain, started charting temps..). however, I've always had kind of a short luteal phase, but in the past, that doesn't seem to have caused any problems (our avg time to conceive other babies@7-9 months, with one miscarriage @ 4 yrs ago)....
We may have had a very early miscarriage last cycle (I had a positive preg test, then a couple days later, negative
, I'm in the 'waiting' stage for another week before AF is to arrive this month(hopefully not)...my OB suggested I could try a low dose of Clomid to improve ovulatory function, and egg quality(?)a little....
Ladies, would you mind sharing.... when did you decide to see a specialist?
"Melanalyus"(sorry, typo?), I've read some of your recent posts, and it seems like you and i are in similar situations(previous kids, no apparent difficulty getting pregnant in the past). I'm sorry if this is so personal, but how have you handled this? what fertility issues are you struggling with...
again, i apologize with such personal questions, but i don't have anyone else to ask or to talk to about this; I'm feeling really alone...
I'm trying to remain positive ,but I'm struggling...
thank you all !
