Guidence

NYENYE member
in TTC after 35

I am looking for some guidence and do not want to come across as unthankful given the board.

We had 2 MC's and then were able to naturally conceive our DD.

We have now been trying for over 6 months and have had no luck, the doctor recommended Clomed, but I very scared of twins.  I am a WM and don't think we could handle or support twins.

I curious to know what everyone elses method or process has been like?

    May I ask how old you are?  That may impact some of the responses you get.  Big difference b/w 35 and say, 42!

    I have not had to use any ART.  Got PG with my first at 37 naturally and just started trying this month (at 40) for #2.  Currently using the CBEFM.

    We shall see how it goes!

    AS for Clomid, I think there are some ladies here on it who will be able to offer some insight into taking it.  Very best of luck to you!

    If you take clomid you have to monitored via ultrasound and bloodwork to minimize the chances of twins or more. The more follicles you produce, the higher the risk of multiples. There is always a risk of multiples with any fertility drug. OB's don't typically want to monitor. Are you seeing an RE? Have you been charting? Do you know if you are ovulating?  You also don't want to take clomid if you haven't had an HSG to make sure your tubes are open. If they are blocked, it would be a waste of time.

    ITA. I would also recommend going to see an RE (Reproductive Endocrinoligist) and make sure you are monitored if you decide to take Clomid.

    I took clomid and got PG after 1 m/c and 6 IUIs.

    If you look at the numbers, the actual chance of multiples does raise when on clomid - but not by much.

    Also, I hope that your doctor - before just scriping clomid - will order  b/w, HSG, ovarian reserve count and perhaps an s/a for your husband.Then you'll have a full picture of what, if any, challenges you may have.

    GL!

    thank you all for your posts.

    I have had all the bw, HSG, and my husband has had a sperm count, only finding as with my first pregnancy is that the lining of my uterous is a little thin, so I just came off estragen 2 minths ago.   still not working so Clomid was the next suggestion.
