May I join you?

I used to post some on here, but it's been quite a while. I post a lot on TTCAL, but I thought you ladies might have some additional insight on fertility treatments. My story:

We have a 3 1/2 year old DD who we had no trouble conceiving. In December 2008, we decided to start TTC again. I was not ovulating on my own, so in June 2009, I started Provera followed by Clomid. I developed a huge cyst on my ovary after just one round of 50 mgs of Clomid, so we had to take a break cycle. In that cycle, we became pregnant. I had brown spotting starting around 7 weeks and had an u/s that showed everything was okay. At 9 1/2 weeks, I started to bleed and went in for an u/s. It was confirmed that our baby did not have a heartbeat and was schedule for a D&C the next day. That night, I went home and had a natural m/c. I still had to have my D&C the next day...on my birthday. That was in October. We had the go-ahead to start trying again right away, but I'm back to where I was before.

I'm currently on my 3rd round of Clomid (this time) and my doctor increased my dosage from 50 mg to 100 mg. I temp and chart every day. I used OPK's for a while, but I have never gotten a positive, so I quit.

Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you!
