Hi Jacqui,
I have been thinking of you a lot lately and wondered when I would *see* you again. I see someone has said they were on clomid for 18 months. I was going to concur with the others that generally 6 months is given as a bench mark with clomid. Often then you will move up to pregnyl or similar. However I am not really up with asissted conception. One of the reasons for clomid not being given long term is that you can develop hyperstimulation of the ovaries. This can make the ovaries oversized and some women have a great deal of discomfort from that. I guess if things haven't happened within the 6 months that often women move up to the next level. This hyperstimulation can occur with many fertility drugs. This is why you are closely monitored whilst taking them. Again, each ob has their own preferred course of action usually...
My girlfriend was on clomid for 3 cycles before she conceived and she didn't ovulate until the second round. For her second pregnancy she was on clomid for 5 months and then moved up to the pregnyl which worked after 2 cycles. She has 2 gorgeous sons and is embarking again on the ttc journey.
I see you have said you didn't ovulate this cycle. Don't despair. All women even the most rabbit like amongst us have annovulatory cycles. Are you having ultrasound around ovulation to check your follicle size etc?
You are going to get there Jacqui. Keep believing, I will be watching out for you.
Big big hugs
