I have a question that I hope you can help me with. Do you know if you will ovulate from both ovaries if you take Clomid? I had an ectopic recently, and it looks like the ovary on the other side is not that active. My doctor told me not to TTC this cycle since I am ovulating on the side of the bad tube. My tube was saved, and HSG showed it is open, but it may still be damaged. My doctor also wants to put me on Clomid to stimulate the lazy ovary, but my concern is that I will ovulate from both ovaries, so this would increase a chance of another ectopic.
Advanced thanks for any info you may have, I am really lost here and do not trust my doctor anymore.
Omg I have just popped in cos I was chatting to Tamara and heard the devastating news! Bec honey, I am so awfully sorry for your loss, you have been through so much I was certain this was your one! I just can't believe it, Porsche is so right, the universe really does have some explaining to do! Sending you loads & loads of massive hugs hun, hoping to absorb some of your physical & emotional pain! I am in utter shock & am completely devastated for you! Take care of yourself gorgeous! Small consolation but I conceived with only 1 working tube, my left tube is blocked & will not carry eggs, just wanted to give you some encouragement to not give up! Thinking of you with all my heart Hun!
Xxoo
Luna,
Firstly sorry to hear about your angel babies, and your ectopic. I've just been through same, although I lost my tube.
Clomid doesn't work quite like that. It can stimulate follies on either side, but they can check which side the dominate follie is on and possibly cancel ovulation? I'm not sure if it works the same with clomid but they can do it with injectables. Can I ask if you are seeing a Fertility Specialist or a GP? If you are seeing a GP, I think you need more specialised help. I see an FS at Melbourne IVF, just get a referral from GP and book in. I see Kate Stern, but I've heard Fleur Cattrell is good too. Jump on the Melbourne IVF website and read their Bios.
TTC is hard enough, but not tructing in your Doc makes it worse. I did it for too long before I changed FS' and I'm so glad I did.
GL with everything.

Thanks Kel, I'm doing better. I'm feeling more positive about the future than I was, although I'm still sad. FS has suggested I can still do OI/IUI for 2 more cycles before I tackle IVF so that was interesting. Apparently my good tube can collect eggs from the left side if I ovulate over there. Weird hey?
are you taking a break before continuing TTC? I still feel just awful for your loss.
