Hi! I think I'm finally ready to accept this might be a long road and that I'm going to need some support from people who understand. I have a seven year old DS from a previous relationship. He was not planned, so I figured it would happen right away when we started trying. After 9 months and no BFP my DH thought he must be the problem. Turns out, I'm not ovulating. I will be starting my third round of clomid this month. I'm really confused about all of the terms and different things they are monitoring, but you all seem so informed. I really don't have anything to ask, I'm just introducing myself and trying to come to terms with what's going on.
Me: 29; DH: 28; DS: 7
Married: 11/12/11
TTC since 11/11
1/13 Clomid 50mg = BFN
