Secondary IF

Time to let go

I thought I'd be handling the arrival of AF much better this month. I wasn't obsessive about TTC and I had all the PMS symptoms, so it wasn't a surprise. But here I am..another mess. And to top it off, the "top post" on my newsfeed is another pregnancy announcement. I just don't understand!!! We had ZERO issues conceiving DD. My cycle has been regulated by clomid for the past 4 months, we've been trying for 12. Why isn't it happening??? We can't afford to move on to other procedures, but I can't stay on clomid forever. And once I quit, my luteal phase defect will return. I think it's time to hang it up and move on to being a 3-person family. It's painful, but I really don't see any other options.

  • I feel you and am going thru the exact same thing right now. My only piece of advice is don't make any major decisions about stopping on day 1 or 2 of AF. I know I'm always super emotional and annoyed those few days. If I give it a few days I usually feel better and more motivated to keep going.

    This exactly! Im so sorry AF crashed the party, keep your head up honey! You know we are all here for you. It's never easy moving onto another cycle... (BIG HUGSSSSS)
  • (((HUGS))) I am so sorry.



      


  • I am sorry :( It is so hard! But there are other med options besides Clomid. I am starting Femara, trigger shot, and progesterone this month. I am shocked at how inexpensive it is going to be! Maybe ask your RE about these? We are in the same financial boat as you, so it's very likely that we won't be doing IUI or IVF if it comes to that. Good luck!

    Thanks everyone. It took me all day to come back and read your responses. I tried a few times, but I would tear up just thinking about it.
    I think you're right, @tache. CD1 is always so emotionally charged. I'll let my head clear before I decide 100%.
    I appreciate all the support I've gotten from this board. <3
