Frustrated

I am so frustrated. For one I have very unpredictible. For instance, my menstral came on on april 23rd, May 17th, June 12th and July 25th.  So its like my menstral comes on every 24-25 days except the last one was about 43 days. I am currently taking clomid 50mg and started in May. The meds worked in May with getting me to ovulate along with the ovidrel but didn't result in a pregnancy. The meds didn't work in June because when I went in for my 13 day ultrasound. I didn't  have any folicles.  So for this month they increased my to 100mg &  I went in on 08/06 for my 13 day ultrasound and I had a very small immature follicle so they told me to come back on 08/9 to see if it had matured. I went in and they said it was actually smaller than it was on Monday.  The dr so the look on my face and he hurried and asked if I had intercourse anytime between monday 08/06 and thursday 08/9 and I told him yes. He said well maybe it took that is why its smaller. Yea right.........  So the next course of action if I don't get a BFP around the 34th day then they will increase the meds again and also start me on metformin.  I feel like time is running out for me I am 39 and my husband is 41. So time is of the essence for me.  Sorry so long. I am just frustrated and husband keeps saying so how long are we going to go thru this? I tell him I don't know but I don't know if he is in it for the long haul and all of the ups and downs that comes with it.

1. time is not running out, FAITH
2. are you seeing a endocrinologist? if you are and not comfortable, find another! It is your body, life & baby!
3. do you have PCOS?
4. yes, you probably should be on Metformin if you are PCOS!
5, vitamins? taking them?

Nikki will tell you~ an endocrinologist works!

I second everything Cheri said.  Get thee to a reproductive endocrinologist and if you haven't been checked for PCOS, now's the time!

Thanks for the info ladies. I do have PCOS and I haven't even thought about a RE. I am currently seeing my gyno. When I go back for my next appointment I will ask them to refer me to once since I have an HMO plan and have to get a referral. I am going to keep the faith but its still so frustrating.

 I had the opposite affect on clomid.  was supposed to produce more follicles and produced less for me and didn't even get a period that month (first time ever).  

ask to try femara instead.  it is similar but a different type of medication. 

I agree you should see a reproductive endocrinologist if you are not already.  good luck!
