I thought it may be helpful to start this blog by updating everyone on my journey so far. My DH Tyler and I started ttc in September of 07 thinking this would be a short and wonderful experience. Well thanks to my ever changing cycles it has been anything but that. Shortly after beginning to ttc we realized that my cycles were very irregular and long (35-40 days). In Jan. I went to my first OB appt. to discuss my options, at that point we had only tried BBT charting and were hoping to here some answers. Well we were told that we would not be considered infertile or given and medication until closer to our one year mark. I left very disappointed, I had hoped to be given some answers and a chance at really ttc. So we continued on our way ttc and were getting very hopeful when at the end of April my AF disappeared altogether. I called my OB and after many test I still got a BFN. My OB told me that since I was now skipping my AF altogether I could go in to see a specialist to get on medicine for “irregular periods”.
Finally on June 27th, I went in to see my new OB. He informed me that because my cycles were so long that my uterus walls were getting too thick and were unable to house a fertilized egg. At last an answer to my problem. He immediately started me on Clomid. I started taking it on CD 5-9 and lucky did not have any side effects. I am now on CD 12 and just started to use OPKs.
Both Tyler and I want a baby more than anything and it has been very frustrating not being able to do so. We are luckier then some though and we are so very thankful that my problem is hopefully fixable. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and enjoy our journey!
Too thick? It’s seems like the thicker they are the better it would work. Guess not. Maybe that’s part of the reason I mc. I skipped a period and the next one was very light then BFP. I guess that’s a good reason to get on clomid. Good luck in the morning!
