New to Bump, TTC w/ trouble

in Trouble TTC

Hi all!

New to The Bump and was hoping to get some other insight on our TTC troubles. We aren't in any rush, but I was hoping to hear from anyone who has/had similar situation. We want to try on our own before turning to fertility treatments. 

Facts:

- we are both young, no kids or previous pregnancies 

-irregular cylce (ranging from 40 days to 84) due to hormones

-always heavy 7 day period 

-small polyp in uterus  

-been TTC since December

-OBGYN says we will have to be on clomid, describes me as "irregular ovulation" rather than never ovulating. 

 Right now we are trying to decide if we should keep trying on our own, or when we should go for the clomid. Thanks for your help :)

    It's kind of crazy for your Dr. to put you on clomid when you've only been trying for 4 months. It can take a normal couple (no problems) up to a year.

    Also clomid is a very serious medication.  There is a lifetime max of 6 cycles.

    Not exactly sure "where" the polyp is, as the OB wasn't worried about it. He said that if I did become pregnant, and I quote, "the baby would just squish the polyp". 

    We did do bloodwork, and his remedy was simply BC. My testosterone was a l

    I've only taken provera once, and that was in college so I could start BC. I was only on BC for 3 months. I am on CD53 right now!

    I have been using the "woman log" app since June to track my periods, since December to track baby making. I am going to start temping, but I have read that you should start on the first day of your cycle?

    Start BBT charting on fertility friend, find a new OB because yours is cray-cray, and continue trying for a full year.  While you're taking that full year (until this December) hang out of the Trying to get Pregnant Board to learn more about your bod

    agree with PP... start charting!  Don't take the Clomid!  Give it a few months then see and RE to due any treatments and get further testing!
