New Here and Nervous!! Anyone like me?

in Trying to Get Pregnant

A little back story... AF only visits 3 or 4 times a year w/nasty side effects. Usually am on the pill to keep everything regular and reduce the se. Got PG w/#1 immediately after coming of the pill (no period, but took 2.5 months to get pg). LO is almost 8mo and haven't gone back on the pill yet, since we'd like to have another soon. AF has only visited once since having #1 and that was way back in June.

Since I got pregnant so quickly before (OB and we are thinking it was a fluke though), we're going to try for #2 the natural way the rest of the year. Here's the plan...

Provera starting Oct. 1 to jump-start my system.

If not pregnant by Jan. 1, start down the path of Clomid to encourage my body to ovulate.

I'm very nervous... Has anybody been down a path like this??

    You should definitely sign up on Fertility Friend and start tracking your cycles. If you are ovulating, you may not need clomid. Beware of the side effects.....it is a very dangerous drug and shouldn't be handed out like candy. If you are ovulating, you most likely won't need clomid....just timing sex correctly gives you the best chance of getting pregnant.

     Good Luck!

    Yup, already signed up there and have been tracking. I haven't ovulated since I started tracking (after my last period in June). :( Thanks for the suggestion though! Both of us and our dr would really like to avoid clomid. It's not something that any of us really want me to take, but if I continue to not ovulate then we don't really have any other options. We're all keeping our fingers crossed that this Provera works and I ovulate (and we make a baby!).
