What tests have you had? Have you had your HSG? Your husband had a semen analysis?

Hi Selene, welcome to DS! Have you or your DH (husband) had any other tests to figure out if there is anything else going on (blocked tubes, not ovulating, low sperm count, etc.) If not, I would think that should be your next step. If you are just taking Clomid but there are other things going on it could be a waste of time and money.
Are you seeing a fertility specialist for this? That would be my other suggestion.

Been there. Trying for just over a year now. I moved on to a fertility specialist last week. Are you ovulating on Clomid? If you are give it three months - if not, find a second opinion.
I know what you are going through.

I don't know if this applies for you... But when I took Clomid I took Robitussin without alchol or anything. I got the wal-mart brand. Its suppose to make CM better for traveling sperm. I don't know if it helped much or not but we did get pregnant that month. Good luck God bless!

Seems like every OBs first step is to put women on clomid. I don't know the sucess rates, but seems a little presumptuous. My advice is to only stay on Clomid another month or 2. If you move onto an RE, you will most likely continue on it and be monitored. I ended up being on it for 8 cycles. Hope you DH has been tested first to rule out MF...good luck

I have been on 150mg of Clomid. This is our 4th cycle. I'm having an hsg done this cycle to see if my tubes are clear. If my tubes are clear I will stay on Clomid for another 2 cycles. If I'm not pregnant by February then I will move on to the next step. So I would say keep going. Just because the first 2 cycles didn't work doesn't mean the next one won't. Keep the faith.

Welcome to DS. It sounds like you are in same boat as me. We have been trying for almost a year. Just finished first round of clomid and looking like AF is on her way. I think if you are seeing an OB-GYN they will want you to try Clomid for at least 6 months. I feel for you and hope you enjoy to comfort of having DS to support you!

I am new too, so I don't have all the crazy alphabet soup down! My husband and I are also in th second cycle of Clomid. My dr. said to stay on the Clomi for 6 months, so you really should stick with it. One of my friends suggested to take 600mg Mucinex (over the counter) starting on day 5 of your cyle. I guess the Clomid thickens your cervical mucus, and the Mucinex will help thin it out. She also said to take 81mg baby aspirin every day to increase blood flow. I am trying both, so we'll see! Good luck to you girl!

What testing have you had, HSG, bldwork . ultrasound, husband semen analysis?? Are you going to the OB Or an RE? Personally wasted too much time with clomid and it didn't do anything, I was happy to move on but you need to have tests to see what is going on.

I did several rounds of Clomid myself and it did not work. I feel like if you have tried it 2 or 3 cycles, then you should move on to the next step.

I understand about feeling hopeless... but even in a 'fertile' couple my understanding is that is takes 3-6 tries... so I'd give it at least one more month. I am in my second round now... and have it in my mind if it doesn't work, to give it one more chance... but then find a specialist...

Most couples conceive within 6 months of using clomid...if it's working for me and there aren't any other issues.

I was on 25mg of clomid for 4 months and my cycles were still a little off. My Dr. increased my clomid to 50mgs and added Metformin 1000mgs. I have heard from several Dr.s that Metformin is a good choice when dealing with infertility. Since the metformin was added, my cycles have been regular, cramping before is much better. I had an ultrasound on Wednesday and my folicule was 22.9! Which I am told is excellent. Unfortunately DH wasn't in town to take advantage, but we know that the drugs together are working. Oh and my last progesterone test was 16. Before that I was 7-12 and on average 7.
