Hi everyone! My husband and I have begun TTC Again after a 1yr break. Prior to that, we had tried for 18 months with no success. We tried charting and OPK's, but now that we have a good doctor, we are using charting, BBT, OPK's, AND Clomid. I finished my first cycle of clomid a little over a week ago, and now we wait. I don't hold much hope for the first round working. If we are unable to conceive after 3 cycles with Clomid, she'll refer us to a fertility clinic over in Seattle... though, I'm not sure how far I'll be willing to go. I look forward to getting to know you ladies.
Welcome to the board. I am sorry you find yourself here and hope your stay with us is a short one. DH and I are also on our first cycle of clomid. I hope you have a pleasant surprise with a BFP!
Welcome! I'm sorry TTC hasn't been successful for you yet. We've all been in your shoes; it can be very daunting to consider seeing a fertility specialist (RE) but I think most of us would say, we're glad we did. If not only for treatment options, at least to try to get some answers. Good luck on clomid!

Hi! Sorry you find yourself here, but it's a supportive community. I was actually surprised at the affordability of some treatments. I hope you don't have to pursue any of them, but if you do, just know there are lots of options.

Hi!! nice to meet you I am on my third Clomid cycle. Best of luck-- how are you finding it so far? My first cycle I was a little anxious but this time around I am feeling if anything a little short tempered but pretty normal considering. my plan is also to try about 3 rounds (I'll give it one more shot I think after this because my second Clomid cycle I missed my IUI because I had to travel for work!! )

@CWFarmGurl welcome to the board, hope your stay is short here. Is your doctor monitoring you on Clomid? I only ask because many OB's prescribe Clomid and don't monitor at all/appropriately. When I'm on Clomid with my RE, I have multiple ultrasounds to confirm follicle number & size. I had 4 ultrasounds this cycle. If your OB isn't going to monitor you, I would seriously move over to the RE sooner.
