thanks Monnie,

that is all pretty reassuring. Hopefully I wont need too much testing because when we started ttc I had some cycle issues pop up and was sent to the gyno back then, october last year. I had blood tests and I've had two internal U/s showing that I O'd those particular months. I just really want to get to it! I am sick of waiting and worrying that there is more we could do.
Thanks again for your insight and congrats on your impending baby joy!

thanks, sassba

Hi Sassba,

Welcome to BB, hope you stay is short, but sweet.
I have just started on my fourth cycle of Clomid. I also ovulate naturally and have had a whole range of tests (HSG, Laparoscopy, Hystroscopy, Ultasounds) that have shown no cause for our infertility. My husbands SA have been ok as well. The first course of action our gyno took, after the laparoscopy, etc was to start me on 50mg of Clomid. It appears to be the first step in many cases.
I take my Clomid on CD5-9, however I have heard of other dates.
As our gyno will not do any more cycles of Clomid, we have been referred to IVF and will be heading down that path if this cycle is unsuccessful.
All the best for your journey
