Hello Ladies, I am now joining y'all here as well... DH and I have been TTC for 1 yr and I am still not ovulating correctly.. I have had BW after BW done, spoke to the nurse today and the doctor has offered to put me on either Clomid or Metformin my choice... after researching both, I am leaning towards clomid....
Just wanted to say hi, and introduce myself.

Hello - Welcome! Good luck. I hope the clomid works for you right away! It's great for ladies that don't ovulate correctly. I hope it does the trick for you!

I have no known problems other than whatever makes me ovulate like a crazy person (no PCOS). My doc put me on a regimen last cycle that got me a chemical, so I'm hoping this current cycle I get my sticky bean (or two  ).
I use 100mg Clomid CD 3-7, start 2mg Estradiol immediately after, get an Ovidrel trigger shot once I have at least 2 follies that are big enough, then use vaginal progesterone suppositories 200mg 2x/day during my two-week wait.
I hope you're working with an RE and not just an OB who dabbles in fertility stuff. OBs who think they know what they're doing when they don't can sometimes do more harm than good, as experienced by many of the women here. I have a gf who got fertility treatments through her OB for 2 or 3 months and all the OB did was rx Clomid and leave the rest up to chance. Uh, no bueno. If absolutely nothing else there need to be early follicle scans at the beginning of the cycle to make sure no Clomid cysts develop. Sorry, I'm ranting, but I just want you to make sure that you get the full care you need.
