Hi,
So this is my intro. I've debated on posting in a forum about this issue because sometimes I need to check out and take a step back, I hope that's okay. I also don't have all the lingo and info that most of these seem to have. I've been through all the testing and starting clomid now. I realize this is a delicate matter, as I read in the guidelines, but I assure you, as much as I check out of my own issue I am fully ready, and happy, to give support.
I'm 31 years old. My first child was born about 5 years ago. Almost 3 years ago we starting trying for a second child without any luck. I stayed positive and tried to make changes in my life that may help me get pregnant (weight loss, more physical activity, healthier lifestyle, etc), but obviously, that didn't help. After dealing with some health issues and being convinced that there was a much more serious issue at hand, I had a complete physical and extensive blood work and testing done. I was given the all clear and told that I'm healthy and proceeded with the first fertility testing whichc included blood work for myself, an ultrasound, an HSG test, and a semen analysis for my husband. All checked out fine so I was then prescribed Clomid 50mg. Today is my first day. I don't really know what to expect, I just know that despite trying really hard I'm still feeling pessimistic.
So that's my intro. I look forward to getting to know you ladies, and thanks for reading.
