I have have one child, now 4, and after a difficult birth was advised to wait 3 years to TTC. I sadly miscarried in Oct '09 and have been trying since with no success. GP asked me to come for Day 21 bloods- these showed all my hormone levels are fine, except Progesterone (2.3) which suggests I didn't ovulate this month. He sent me away with a prescription for Clomid, very little info and said if I wasn't pregnant in 3 months, to make another appointment to see him.
Is this normal at 37? Is it conclusive that I don't ovulate from one blood test? (I have 34 day cycles and don't usually show signs of ovulation till day 20 anyway) Should I be monitored when taking Clomid, or referred? Should my husband have any tests? What happens if Clomid doesn't work for me? GP mentioned IVF briefly and I can't get it out of my head.
Does anyone have any experience of this or can offer any advise? I feel really emotional and confused. Thanks.
