Hi ladies
I have been trying for 7 months with no luck, this time I had clomid n was expecting a successful try but unfortunately couldn't.
My periods were due on 18 of this month so I had some brown spotting on 15 (after holding some really heavy stuff ) n it was very little so it's last for 2 days n was feeling like it's implantation bleeding but this afternoon I have heavy bleeding started with clots I feel like it's a miscarriage but not really sure :(
Any suggestions would really appreciated.

I guess so much depends on your doctor and the policy of your local area. I always thought it so unfair that some areas get three free goes at IVF and others only one :(. I hope it's successful for you!

tdale, was that in the UK? yes it is- i attend a clinic in London :) When push comes to shove- find a Dr. that will listen to you, so you can get treated sooner, rather then later! (saves a lot of headache!!)

I've heard numerous times that if you struggle to conceive first time around it'll happen super-quickly second time around, but that if you fall pregnant quickly with your first it might take longer with your second. I have no clue how true this is, but we stopped using contraception four years before DS was conceived and had a total accident when he was 8 months old. Seriously, it was the next best thing to an immaculate conception.

Hi lovely ladies Just wanted to add that I have 4 yrs old beautiful daughter n I'm trying for second one n it's just taking too much of time I Concieved my LO in just 2 months but this time....anyways thx all for your concerns :) it was very much needed. so you don't really have any fertility issues per se, it's just that it's not happening in the timescale that you'd like. Again, just to put a bit of perspective on it, in the UK, a couple would have 1 round of fertility treatment for free, but once they have their first child, if they want a second, they have to pay for it. I guess they reason that to be able to have one child is almost a human right, but to have more than one is a luxury. I know a good few couples who've had real fertility issues - huge ones, in fact - and every one of them counts their blessings for the child they have been able to have.

tdale, was that in the UK? I spoke to consultant at our local hospital there about subfertility and she told us we'd only be referred for tests after two years of trying naturally, and DH was told the same thing with his ex-wife :(. ETA But then again she said if we had any glaringly obvious signs or symptoms of a problem then it'd be investigated sooner. edited by DubaiCat on 18/09/2011 E (again) TA Best of luck with your IVF! edited by DubaiCat on 18/09/2011

I know in the UK, they only really consider a couple to have issues after 2 years of active trying. sorry i had to comment, as this is incorrect. DH and I have been diagnosed as "infertile" after only 9 months of TTC, as we had 3 different things working against us which we were lucky enough to find out "early" on. If you EVER suspect something could be wrong, or treatments are not working, then PLEASE see your Dr. or find a new one who will listen! Happy to say i get to start IVF in December, now that i have saved $$ for it, after what will be 19 months of TTC! best of luck Zeynab! Hmmm, sorry. just what I've been told. thats okay :) live and learn.... edited by tdale on 18/09/2011

I was trying naturally for 6 months... then became preggers and had a miscarriage after my first trimester... and then took a break for 6 months... then started trying again (this time with scheduled follicle studies)... found out my problem was delayed ovulation... and hence went on doctor's recommendation of Clomid... first month was 50mg... then next month was 100mg... got preggers when on 100mg... as I was about to ovulate on day 14 so the doc gave me an injection to guarantee the ovulation... and yayyyy... today I'm 21 weeks pregnant... so please don't lose hope... don't give up... eat well... sleep well... and keep pumping those happy hormones as the other posters have said 'these will help stimulate the required scenario for positive results'! :) all the best... will be praying that u conceive soon... God bless!

Zeynab, did your doctor give you Clomid because you have a problem with ovulation? I found so many doctors just wanted to throw medication at me when in the end I didn't have much of a problem with ovulation. If I'd taken them, I'd have had higher expectations each month and that would have been even worse :(. If you think this period might actually be a miscarriage, it might be worth popping to your doctor today. They may be able to do a blood test to confirm this and see if there's anything wrong that could be fixed next time round?

Aww, hun - I didn't want to leave you without a reply! I know 7 months must feel like a long time, but it's only 7 opportunities for the process to fire up. I know in the UK, they only really consider a couple to have issues after 2 years of active trying. Still, that's maybe not reassuring. In any case, don't feel down. All I could ever say is to try not to worry or stress (which doesn't help you mentally and physically) and to assume every month that you're not going to be pregnant - apart from one happy day when you will be staring at a positive test (oh, and don't test every week until you are - wait until you [i'>feel[/i'> it and then test to make sure). Basically, try to switch mental gear, so that instead of analysing exactly what's happening (or not), just let nature do its thing... because nature wants us to make babies and where there's a will, there's a way. Just enjoy the ride - when we're happy and content, we're generally more fertile too!
