feeling sad, clomid failed, nowhere to turn

[ckd10]

Hi, ive been on clomid for the last 6 months, ive just got my period, i just dont know if there is anywhere else to turn, we just cant afford ivf and im not entitled to any more help as i already have a little girl, she is my pride and joy and im so grateful to be lucky enough to have had her but i would have loved a brother or sister for her x

Where are you OP? If you could go private there are other drugs instead of clomid. Also whilst taking clomid did you have day 21 tests to confirm ovulation?

sorry im new to this, whats OP? i wish i could go private with all my heart but the pennies just wont allow it, i had day 21 blood tests, scans at days 10, 13, and sometimes 15 to check my ovaries, still nothing x

Original poster or original post.

And did you ovulate with clomid ok?

I saw a Specialist in Bristol who recommended clomid, then injectables if the clomid didn't work. I can't remember the exact price but it was a few hundred per cycle rather then a few thousand I think for the injectables. The initial consultation was a couple of hundred too though.

Oh i see, in wigan, yes i was ovulating but late, which is why i went for so many scans, ive just bought some soya isoflavones which have been recommended as a natural alternative to clomid, im sceptical though x

I know someone who had a clomid first baby, then lots of soya stuff, then had a natural second baby. I suspect diet could help a little bit for some people maybe?

Also I thought women could take clomid safely for up to a year?

I know it is heart breaking though.

well they told me that women can have upto 12 months clomid in any life time, i already had 6 months 2 years ago, thats how i concieved my first, i really and truly believed it would work this time too x

Is there any way you could save £15 a week so that you'd have enough cash to try other follicle stimulating drugs in a year or two?

we have already started saving, my worry is that im 34 now, what other drugs are available? x

I was offered injectables through the Bristol clinic. I was told that they are very effective and more heavy duty. Cycle would needed to be monitored to avoid over stimulation. Lots of sex.

Sorry I've forgotten drug names. My clomid/secondary infertility was 4 years ago
