TTC since November 2012 (on cycle 22) Still NOTHING!
I am 32 and my DH is 36. We have been TTC since November of 2012. I was on BC consistently since January of 2009. After 12 cycles of nothing, we both went to be tested in December of 2013. All of our test came back fine. Good levels, I am ovulating regularly, DH has healthy active sperm & good count, HSG was normal. I have used ovulation kits and BBT to track ovulation and we are consistently active during fertile times. Still nothing is happening. No chemical pregnancies or miscarriages the entire time. DH is reluctant to try Chlomid and this is the only suggestion we have received from our doctor. What else can we do? Any success stories after TTC for such a long time? What did you do differently?

It took me a long time (21 months) to get a BFP and I think a major reason is that my lining was thin. Have they done an ultrasound around ovulation to see the thickness of your lining? The good news is there are drug like tamoxifen or supplemental estrogen that can thicken your lining if that is the problem. GL girl!! :)

Have they done an AMH test on you? My first RE didn't bother and was shocked when Clomid didn't work on me. The AMH test showed I had a very, very low AMH. With low AMH it takes longer. Also a good idea to look at your diet, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, do not drink coffee switch to something like Rooibos tea. Take prenatals. Make sure your iron count is good. Make sure your Vitamin D3 level is good.

I would add omega 3 fatty acids to my diet, flax oil, fishoil, etc. This is very beneficial when TTC. If you experience a lack of enough fertile mucus around ovulation you can try evening primrose oil or use pre seed. Red raspberryleaf tea can tone the uterus, maca powder is also wonderful for extra support. There are so many herbal supplements out there. Do some research and see if anything holistic might help. Clomid or better yet Femara are always an option and I would not hesitate to give them a try at some point. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

My eggs are good from what they said, but never said anything about my lining. Also as far as I know my AMH wasn't tested. I take a prenatal vitamin, maca powder, b vitamin complex, & fish oil every day. Today is the first day of cycle 23 :( Maybe I need to do testing again.
