Hi ladies! Just activated my account solely for the TTC thread. I am 33 y/o and my DH and I have been TTC for over four years now. After our first year of trying, we had an ectopic pregnancy which resulted in the loss of one ovary and tube. About a year later we opted to try IVF since we were scared of having another ectopic. IVF did not work and came with many complications i.e. hyperstimulation, gall bladder issues and the loss of my job! Shortly thereafter, we decided to go about it the natural route once more hoping for the best. That was just over one year ago. Now we find ourselves losing patience with the process. I used Fertility Friend for about six months and learned that I ovulate regularly every month. My current OB/GYN wants me to try clomid and IUI. I find this a little bit scary. The idea of clomid freaks me out and I don''t understand why I would need it since I am ovulating. Furthermore, I am concerned over the quality of my tube and worried about another ectopic. I had a hysterosalpingogram shortly after the ectopic and was told that the tube was open. Of course my fertility specialist was quick to point out that that doesn''t mean that the tube is working properly. I recently made an appointment with another fertility specialist who can see me in the middle of October. My DH wants to try clomid/IUI in the meantime. What to do, what to do? I have enjoyed reading your posts. It''s nice to know that I am not alone!
