Just starting Clomid. Here we go....

[wannaBmomma]

Hello all....

I came off the pill about a year ago, and my husband and I have been trying since our wedding night in early July...to no avail. Now I realize it hasn't been a full year yet, but I wasn't menstruating. At all. Hadn't since last April, so we figured I probably wasn't ovulating either. Doc agreed, and put me on the pill for a month to jump start my uterus...which it did.

So, I just started Clomid yesterday. So far, I don't feel different, not that I expected to, but I sort of wished I did, because that might mean it was working, right?

The other thing: The ultrasound showed that I probably have a bicornuate uterus. So I don't ovulate, and I have a screwed up uterus. I really do not understand why this is happening to us.

My DH's first wife didn't want children, a fact that she neglected to tell him until they'd been married 10 years, and he marries me, only to learn that I might not ever HAVE children! It's really not fair to him, and all I can do is cry, now that I've finally menstruated for the first time in a year.

Meanwhile, my sister-in-law, who was on the pill and already has her hands more than full with the two little boys she has now (youngest isn't one yet), is pregnant. This was NOT supposed to happen! They didn't want another one, they didn't plan for another one, they can't really afford another one, and her doctor flat out told her that she probably shouldn't have another child because of the complications with her first two pregnancies!

Sorry to rant, but it's very frustrating. I try to be happy for her, but she feels so guilty about it since it was "my turn" (her words), that she can't stop talking about the pregnancy, and complaining about the pregnancy, and how much it's inconveniencing them. ARRGGHH!!! As if I wouldn't give everything I have to be in her shoes. I'd chew off my right arm if I thought it meant I could be pregnant by this time next month.

Sigh...anyway...any support you all can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Im really sorry you are going through all of this mess.

I found that clomid is not too bad. The only side effect I've had with it is hot flashes, which for a baby, I can handle!

I know how you feel about your SIL, when you are trying sooooooo hard, unplanned (kinda un welcomed) pregnancies are the hardest to see other people go through, bc you have been working your butt off timing everything perfect just to end up with a BFN, while after one stinking oops night, they end up with baby! I know this is easier said then done, but your time will come, pe patient. Ovulation is a very easy problem to fix, the clomid + maybe a trigger should do the trick. And plenty of woman carry there own children with a bicornuate uterus. Dont count yourself out just yet. You need to stay positive so you dont stress your body, making things even more complicated.

I really believe this is just a hurdle, not a road block, for you on your TTC journey. Sure it might take you a little more time to become pg, but then again it could happen next month. Good Luck
