Hi all, I hope you all are doing well. First I want to wish all women out there trying to conceive best of luck. By God's Grace I hope you all get pregnant. Cuz I 'm in the same boat and I know how much it hurts every month when you don't get pregnant. I need your support and advice. Me and the hubs have been TTC for a yr now. I have had short periods and got diagnosed with Pcos. My doc started me on 50 mg of Clomid in November. She did a blood test on day 21 and. My progesterone level was 18 but no pregnancy was detected. I waited but didn't get my period till day 36. I started Clomid cycle 2 50 mg days 4-8 I felt cramps on day 18(Dec02) and mmHg doc did a blood test on day 23(Dec 07), this time my progesterone level was 70 but showed no pregnancy. Today is day 35 no sign of period but no implantation bleeding. My question is , progesterone level of 70 is it good? Also was too early to do blood test that will detect pregnancy on day 23? I'm scared to do a test at home from the fear of it.being negative. Me and my hubby have been married for 5 yrs and are marriage is falling a part because of this. They did a sperm test on him and its fine so he blames me for all the problems. I love kids don't know what to do. He said if I don't get pregnant soon he will find another woman who can give him a child. I'm 25, please I need your advice! Thankyou.

The first thing I would do in your situation is kick the husband into touch. He sounds like a prize arse. Are you really sure you want to have a child with this man? If he's this "supportive" now what is he going to be like when you are pregnant, being sick, needing his support? And when you have a child. Please have a careful think about your situation.

Yes, a progesterone level of 70 is good as it confirms ovulation.

Good luck.

I know what you mean but he has been amazing for the past 4 yrs, its since we started trying, also all his buddies are fathers now, so I feel I'm letting him down, since Im the one with the problem.

Wondering if you think my doctor did the blood test too early to detect pregnancy since I ovulated day18 and she did the test day 23 rd and that was negative.

You don't know for sure that the problem lies entirely with you, so be kind to yourself. Not getting pregnant isnt ever the 'fault' of one partner - you are in this together. Conception is a delicate, amazing thing. It relies on hundreds of factors coming together at the right time, dependent on both partners. When you stand back and look at what has to happen, sometimes Im in awe that anyone ever gets pregnant. You are young, you have a lot of time to get things sorted. This isn't meant in a patronising way, I know that when you decide to have a baby, you want it straight away. I second euro that you need to be supported wonderfully through this - do take care x

And use, that would be too early, it should ideally be 7 days after ov.

Your husband isn't helping the situation by putting blame on you...its hard enough to go through without your other half threating to leave for another woman. He's probably making you a nervous wreak each month which won't help your situation at all. I think he is being totally unreasonable and if iwas married to someone so selfish i'd definately be the one thinking of getting rid!!
Don,'t ever give up hope, you are only 25 and theres lots more time...i wish you lots of luck xx
