Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My husband and I are currently TTC #1. He's 32, I'm 25. We've only been trying 3 months, I've been lurking and learning from you guys for awhile. I've started temping etc, and have gone though one round of blood work. I have not ovulated since having my Mirena removed. Next month probably starting Clomid---any advice??
Oh, I am also a labor and delivery nurse--which is great some days, and sucky others during this process. It helps to come here and know not everyone in the world is pregnant

Welcome lurky! Even though you've been here longer than me.....it's nice to say Hi!
Welcome and GL!
Ladies will probably have some good advice for you RE: starting Clomid right now.

That's what I thought too. I asked around work what the other docs think (not the practice I see), and they agree it would be appropriate if this months labs come back as not ovulating. I think progesterone could be used to regulate a cycle---but that still does not help ovulate.
I could be wrong. If anyone DOES know, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks! Me too!

Thanks for the advice! I am hopeful, but won't get my hopes up
I dont have any real advice with clomid,as it was given to me by my ob without any proper testing or monitoring. The side effects were terrible hot flashes, mood swings, ect... And I did not get pregnant. Worse, I feel like I have a cyst, and that is a possible side effect. If you end up doing the clomid way, make sure it was given correctly!

Where the crap are the other educated veterans?? And what's is up with the PR?
OP, listen carefully. Clomid is not something you take after only trying 3 months. It can take several months to regulate your cycles after BC. TTC can take up to 12 months and up until that point you shouldn't be taking fertility drugs, ESPECIALLY without constant monitoring! Like a PP said it can only be taken 6 times in a lifetime. It can thin your lining and isn't just some pill that creates babies. It has dangerous side effects, specifically OHSS. Take your own health in your hands and look it up. And when you do look it up, remember the names Kate and Jon gosselin. Prime example of why you should be monitored.
Don't always just trust a doctor. OBs are for when you're pregnant. REs are for getting you pregnant. Lurk and learn and don't be quick to take clomid.
