When we first started trying, I never thought it would be nearly two years later, with no baby. I know a lot of this think this. I mean, they rack your heads in school that IF you have sex you are gonna get pregnant. (Sometimes they say maybe, when they do the talk--but the way they always say it is that it WILL happen) Then the real world kicks you right in the rear end. It's like every time I look at a neg pee stick, or get AF--a little jingle sounds in my head with the words 'Sorry try again'.

I know we ALL feel this way. Then you add in the loss. Which opens up a whole new bag. (Or I guess the same bag, with MAJOR differences)

Now, my body has been very very mean to me lately. The past two cycles I've had have been 50 days +! This current one, was 58 days. (and I do realize that it could have a lot to do with everything that happened in Dec) So, yesterday I called my doc, and they ordered a blood test to check my progesterone, and a yes/no hcg (I wanted the other type, but there were problems with the paperwork at the lab, and I didn't want to wait around there for forever.) I called for the results today, and they told me that I did not ovulate because my progesterone levels were 1.1. Well, yesterday (naturally) I also started spotting after the blood draw. Today AF is in full gear. They were originally going to prescribe prometrium to bring on AF, but after I told her I was bleeding--they changed their minds. I asked them that if I did not ovulate, then why am I bleeding? The doc explained why (I can't remember his exact wording, it was either I just ovulated, or it was so long ago that it was a new cycle restarting....I dunno) And the doc decided to prescribe clomid. (I didn't have to ask. I didn't have to go in to see him. Which was good) They told me about it, and when to take it, and called it in. (21.88 dollars later--which was pretty good)

I don't know how to feel. I mean i'm excited to be finally doing something that feels productive (I mean the soy was good, but clomid is even better) But at the same time, I never at the beginning thought that it would come to this.

Anyone who's taken clomid--how is it? Side effects? Best way to take it? Any advice?

Anyone who's taken clomid and soy (not together of course) what are the differences in how you feel when you take it?

Thanks girls.
