Question

Feeling hopeless, AF just showed AGAIN 5th round of clomid. Should I take a 6th round?

I have heard that if you do not conceive the first 3 months of clomid you are most likely not going to. So at this point I am wondering if I should even take it for the 6th month. Of course this is day 1 of AF and I am feeling EXTREMELY defeated, frustrated, hopeless etc. etc. but I really don't want to deal with the side effects if I don't even have a chance anyways. I wish I could just turn off the switch in my brain that wants another baby so badly, 6 years of disappointment seems like enough but I want my daughter to have a sibling. Why does TTC have to be so hard for some and so easy for others?

After 5 cycles I'm sure your lining is suffering.... I really think I would try something different, or increase the dose. I know taking an estrogen supplement after last clomid pill till ovulation can help thicken your lining, so there is a nice home for the little eggie to implant...

I did 7 rounds which you really shouldn't do 6 is the max then you need to take a break. I'm taking a two month break right now then I'm going to do IUI. My cycle is really out of whack this month after being off clomid...but I'm hoping maybe I will luck out and get my bfp while not on anything. i hear that has been known to happen.

Thanks for the responses. I am meeting with a fertility specialist today so we will see what he says and go from there.

Met with a fertility specialist He did not want me to take the 6 round of clomid, said he did not like clomid. He took 6 vials of blood, a spit test, a urine test, and did an internal ultrasound. I had some of the lab results within 2 hours. He also put me on birth control which makes me feel like we are going backwards but he said it was so he can manipulate my cycle and start treatment as soon as all results are in. I am scheduled for a hysteroscopy on the 18th. Have you had this done? He has not talked about what kinds of treatments yet. Is all this pretty normal for a first time specialist appt? IDK.
