 Christina... I don't know the answer but I totally understand your frustration. What was your dr's reasoning for keeping your clomid at 50mg? Good luck making a decision about the SA - it might be worth the $ just for peace of mind and to rule out MFI as a contributing issue...[/b]

He said since I ovulated and my progesterone was so high at 7dpo he didn't want to up the clomid. In the office he had said that he didn't want to move to 100 mg and increase the risk of twins or triplets. Right now I would accept that risk!

Mind me asking how much SA is? For some reason I didn't think it was that much (relatively speaking I guess!)
Sorry you're frustrated though [/b]

I think I heard they can be around $200-$300 dollars. I don't know for sure. Money we really don't have right now. I am going to ask my friend that I know they went through it before they got their BFP with there last baby. And DH's job is moving from weekly paychecks to bi-weekly again and we will be without a paycheck one week. We don't know when it will happen cause the union has to vote on it first (DH isn't union but they aren't going to pay us bi-weekly and the union workers weekly).

I am so sorry that you are frustrated. I definitely think that getting the SA would give you some peace of mind. I know ruling that out definitely made us feel better.
How comfortable are you with telling your doctor what you want to do?[/b]

With my old doctor, no problem. This is a new doctor and I have only met him once. Next time I see him I will be more pushy about the clomid dose in person!

Christina! I can just sense the frustration in your post! I have had 2 cycles with really short AF's and my Dr doesn't seem too concerned about it, but I don't know...
I would try the SA... I know it's probably money that you don't want to be spending, but just think of it as an investment in your sanity. It would be better to know the results, right?
I hope you can figure something out!!! [/b]

Thanks Cris. It would be good to know the results - like I said earlier, I am not sure we can afford it right now. My insurance most likely won't cover it (they don't cover infertility). And nothing has changed in our diet, etc since our miraculous pregnancy with AJ other than DH is eating Subway for lunch every day (and has lost enough weight to come down one size in his pants).

Month 3 of
And my OB didn't up my clomid - I feel like doing what the smilie is doing. I think DH and I are going to more seriously discuss the SA and the cost later tonight. And counting my cycles on FF - I think this is month 14 or 15!!!!! Do I really need to go through 2 more cycles of 50 mg of Clomid and the dye test before I get answers! 
I'm sorry, Christina... My doctor doesn't up the Clomid dosage because I ovulate with the 50mg also..
