First time poster. Very new to everything fertility. I'm 36 and recently had all the tests done. I'm fine...just wasn't ovulating. Doc said that I could try Clomid for 3 months and if it doesn't work, we can do artificial. My husband is a pilot and his schedule changes at the drop of a hat.
He had to leave during my last ovulation window and just found out he'll be working next week.
I am taking Clomid 50mg day 3-7 of my period. Today is the last day of this round and I am scheduled to go in for an ultra sound on Sunday. Last month, I successfully ovulated only after using the estrodial inserts.
So, I am going through all of this trouble to make myself ovulate and my husband will not be in town when I actually do ovulate.
Should I just say screw it and ask to move forward with IUI?
We've been trying for over a year. Im not sure if we've been unsuccessful because I have never ovulated or if my husband's traveling for work had also had n impact.
Any thoughts?
Re: I'm on Clomid for 3mo, if unsuccessful doc will do IUI. On 2nd mo, but hubs will be gone during Ov.
Please reply!
