Took my first round of Clomid 50 mg this month and learned today that my progesterone levels are low and I likely I didn’t ovulate. I feel discouraged. Been ttc for 10 months now and I learned recently that Im not ovulating. I didnt think It would be hard getting pregnant as I had regular cycles before covid. Anyone had luck ovulating and conceiving with an increased dosage of clomid? Looking for encouragement and success stories to lift my spirits

When Coronavirus hit NYC mid-March my husband abandoned me to go to Arizona with his mistress (I didn’t know I was being cheated on!) It’s been an emotional roller coaster for me. I am also his sponsor on his green card via marriage. He has his conditional green card for 18 more months. I feel he used me for immigration. I’m starting a new job in 3 weeks. It will be a nice distraction but I am just not emotionally well. I am trying to go through the divorce process too. (Cont)

Anyone have experience reaching out to a hiring manager on LinkedIn? Had phone screen with HR on Tuesday that went well.
