Had my follie scan this morning and there was ONE that will PROBABLY be okay. The rest sucked. Doc said I would likely get a + OPK on my own by Monday, but if I don't, I'm going in for another u/s to see if that one is ready to be triggered. So I have to take off work for a "maybe" appointment. And I only have one egg (MAYBE), which is what I have every other miserable cycle of my life, except I'm not paying $250 and on all kinds of stupid meds those cycles. So glad I have acne all over my face just for fun... I can NOT get pregnant just fine all on my own. I don't need to pay to have the same ****** results. Last cycle we had two good follies and two maybe's and here I am not pregnant, so needless to say MY HOPES ARE IN THE GUTTER. Rotten ******* wasteland inside my body. Sewage running through my veins instead of blood. I will never be a mom.

Oh hun, I just want to give you a big hug. You have had one tough road... But I just KNOW that you are going to be a fabulous mama to a thriving healthy baby. Hang in there. I am praying that you find peace during this time, and the strength to continue . Take care of yourself.
I have to say, that every time I see your signature pic of your son Andrew, I just want to kiss his little face. You make beautiful babies <3

oh Erin this post made me want to cry for you...i know you've been through so much already....try to keep your hope up - i know it's depressing to not respond the way you wanted to on the Clomid, but 1 perfect follie with a good egg is all you need. Don't give up on this cycle yet! (((HUGS)))

I'm sorry it didn't go as you expected.
My understanding is that clomid doesn't necessarily result in more than one egg - while it's possible, it is not prescribed with the goal of increasing the number of follies/eggs. There's another med that would be used in conjunction with it if the goal was to get more than one mature follie. Just throwing that out there so you know it's not YOU!!

I wanted to share with you that Clomid was the same for me. I didn't produce any more follicles on it than I did without it, but I did have one follicle that produced the pregnancy I'm having right now. I do remember feeling really skeptical and hopeless that the IUI (my second) would work with just the one follicle, but it just takes one good one. Best of luck to you. I hope you get your BFP really soon.

I am so sorry that you are weighted by these horrible feelings that we've all been hit with through this difficult journey. (Not that sharing the misery in common with others really ever makes us feel better, per se.) But there is real understanding here of that heartbreak. Be strong, fill your heart with love and don't give up on yourself.

Have you tried Femara at all? I know a woman who didn't respond to Clomid at all but did to Femara. You WILL be a mom, I just know it!

It is not hopeless babe. You WILL be a mom, and you will be the BEST mom ever because you will not take one day for granted. For me Clomid had on and off months - the first month, 3 eggs (actually confirmed with an u/s and p-draw), the second I think just 1 (p-draw MUCH lower), and third month 1 egg. It sucks, because we want all the chances we can, but try not to lose hope just yet hun. Love you tons, we'll get through this!
