What should I try this month?

Posted on February 18, 2011 by HR Hughes

BFP arrived at 1 AM. I was up with my coughing daughter and greeted her with blurry vision. Don’t worry about me being all crushed by not being preggers this month, I’m all good with it.

My new inner debate is, do I try a homeopathic fertility aid or a chemical one? Please weigh in under comments.

What’s your experience with either?

Hey Holly. So sorry you are going through this. You know we went through hell trying for C & E. Have you considered IVF? I was reluctant to do it, and as our last resort it did take it’s toll emotionally, physically and financially, but at least I had the peace that I had exhausted every option. And we got lucky. If you want to talk more about it, I would be happy to discuss. Hugs to you.

Hi Holly – I saw your link of SSOW. I am currently on clomid. I had an ultrasound done on monday and was excited that I have several large follicles. BUT… it is CD 18 for me and I haven’t ovulated, instead my OPK’s went from medium dark to faint today, which means if I didn’t ovulate by now, it’s not happening. I’m disappointed. I would recommend trying clomid, but ask your doctor about possibly getting a shot with the clomid to induce ovulation. I understand this is a common procedure. I’m seeing a new doctor at the end of the month – so hopefully this will be an option next month (don’t get me started on the time I wasted with my current doctor who clearly doesn’t care about my issues). Best of luck to you!!!

  Hi Lori,
  I’m telling you on clomid I think I was ovulating on day 19. Before all this baby making trouble I knew all the signals my body gave me. With clomid, I think my body is confused. Best of luck to you and I hope the next doctor is a good one!

I’ve done both…no success with either, but both induced ovulation and I wasn’t nearly as crazy on FertilAid.

Good luck!

  Hi Josey,
  thanks for coming by. I chose not to do chlomid this month and low and behold I am feeling much more like myself and much less like a crazy bitch.
