Hi all,
I popped over from the trouble TTCing board to poll women who have gotten pregnant from clomid.
We've been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I've aced all my tests and my husband has super sperm (a.k.a. REALLY good test results). We wanted to start with the least invasive option: clomid. I ovulate on my own every month, no problem, but the idea, as I'm sure you all know, is that this will make me pop out more eggs and up our chances. It didn't work the first month. We're going to try it for 2 more months and then move on to IUI. But I just read that clomid has really low pregnancy rates for women who are already ovulating. The pregnancy success stories I'm seeing are all from women who took it to get them to ovulate. So now I'm really depressed. Will someone please tell me they've heard of "already ovulating women" getting pregnant with clomid? Thanks

Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.
