We tried to get pregnant for 9 months before using clomid. I got pregnant after one round of clomid, which ended in a miscarriage. When I went to my now obgyn who I was transitioned to after pregnancy to confirm mmc (previous Dr. in practice group was only a gyn), she didn’t really seem onboard with using clomid and just said we’ll wait and see. We already tried for almost a year prior to clomid and couldn’t find ovulation, my cycles are 45-60 days, etc. cont.

I would personally look for a fertility doctor. In my experience, OBGYNs aren’t really helpful on the fertility journey- but are great when you become pregnant.

Nope, I just called my local fertility clinic and scheduled an appointment. They usually want to know how long you’ve been trying for - I told them a year (that’s what some ask for as a minimum), and that got the ball rolling.

She also didnt bring up replacing it with any other meds etc. I have an US on Monday with her to confirm the misoprostol was successful. My husband said I need to try and trust her but I want a plan and medications and it just feels so tense with her. Maybe she was waiting for the miscarriage to clear. I’m just frustrated and feeling my age with no kids. I don’t know why we would wait or why we would ever go back to trying naturally. I’m just feeling defeated. I know I can find a new dr. but I wish every step didn’t need to be a fight. Just posting in case anyone has thoughts or has felt similarly.

Try Inito and take Elix Healing “Cycle Balance”. It measures urine to find your fertile window. I struggle with PCOS with irregular periods, and desire to be natural. Because of both these methods, plus taking vitamins, my cycle has been regular. Genuinely recommend.
