Here we go again!

I'm so frustrated! I'm on cd 10 and started spotting. I think I'm going to talk to my doctor about switching from clomid since it destroys my lining. I immediately used the estradiol in hopes to stop this in its track. I'm just so defeated. Of course it doesn't help that I'm having to read maternal newborn information or that a friend of mine just announced yesterday that his wife is 10 weeks with their 3rd child. Yes I'm very happy for them but simply want to scream not everyone can get pg as planned. Maybe next month we skip clomid and I use opk's, temp, and progesterone only. I just thought this month was so much easier because the side effects really dwindled to nothing. Okay I'm done venting :)

    Talk to your doctor about Femara and what you can take to better help your lining, different things work for different people. I am sorry you are spotting. I get the frustration. My husbands best friend is pregnant with their fourth, I don't understand how some people have no issue with having multiple children but it's so hard for some of us just to have one! And it doesn't help when these people announce the umpteenth pregnancy with "we just look at each other and BAM pregnant!"

    @cooperlane I was thinking about femara instead of clomid. The same thing happened two cycles ago on my first round of clomid. It made my cycle 17 days total but spotting started this early. He did add estradiol to my plan to fluff the lining so that is why I used it yesterday about 2 hours before it was due. I'm hoping it is just preO spotting (never had it before).
    Yeah I'm sick of seeing everyone else bask in the glory of pulling the goalie. He is such a great dad but come on you've got two and just get her pg as planned.

    I can't imagine having a 17 day cycle. I haven't even ovulated by CD 17! My plan is Femara because it's less than likely to make me a hormonal wreck and it's supposed to be slightly more successful for PCOS than clomid.

    It's good that your doctor is being proactive and adjusting your medication each cycle.

    My lining was thin with clomid also. Went on letrezole (femera), and it's much better!
    Sorry for your frustration, this whole process seems kind of like a scientific experiment!

    Thankfully I stopped spotting after taking that dose two hours early. Tonight is my last dose so I'm hoping I don't start spotting tomorrow. I guess if he is going to want me on clomid again he will have to add some form of estrogen therapy as well. Or I just need to change meds to reduce worrying about one more thing.

    @turtle148 I'm so sorry, it is so great to hear about friends pregnancies but I sympathize with the frustration with it. Especially when people are announcing their 2nd 3rd etc and we're just trying for a first! [-(
