I have been trying to get pregnant for a while and no luck my doctor ran tons of test and wants to put me on clomid I\'m really scared I feel like this could be my chance for the baby I have wanted for so long but on the same hand if it does not work I don\'t know what I would do I feel so mix up I have tried to talk to my spouse and family but they think i\'m worrying over nothing and it will happen sooner or later I feel so alone and down in the dumps

it is natural to feel mixed up with all that is going on with you right now. Clomid is a good next step if you haven\'t gotten pregnant yet. But it is not the only solution. There are lots of other things that can be done, so don\'t be afraid if the Clomid doesn\'t work that it is your last chance. I was on Clomid for 3 cycles, and then did Clomid and IUI for three more cycles, and did not get pregnant. But after that, I did! Clomid is helpful for so many women, but it is certainly not your only shot at making a baby. So, if it works, great! If it doesn\'t, then something else might.
It is really hard for anyone who hasn\'t been through what you are experiencing to know the effect it has. Your family might not understand how hard this is. It is natural to feel sad if you haven\'t gotten pregnant yet, so go easy on yourself.
I have my fingers crossed for you.

It\'s *completely* understandable to feel overwhelmed! There\'s so much information being thrown at you about this. And, as usual, vlt is right; most people don\'t *get* what it means to be infertile. They don\'t understand the charting, the meds, or the frustration. I\'ve been practically *mourning* my infertility, the loss is so great. Just know that we\'re here to support each other.
