Trying and Failing to Conceive

Im in limbo. Been TTC for 5.5 years, with no joy. Fertility clinic finally put me on clomid this year and an currently on my second cycle. First cycle 50mg days 2-6 didn't work. Second cycle, they told me it also didn't work 100mg days 2-6. They said no chance, and that probably means that next month won't work either even by increasing dose to 150mg. They will then withdraw treatment. Absolutely devastated. Spent 2 days in bits. Then had EWCM out of the blue. I called them and they bought me in for another scan. My follicle was still growing and they were scratching their heads, so bought me in for another scan 4 days later, and again my follicle had continued to grow. Scratching their heads again saying this shouldn't be happening. They said it's not likely I will ovulate but at this stage anything can happen so have 2 blood tests booked in to check. Has this happened to anyone else and did you end up ovulating? Blood tests booked 13/8 and 17/8. Would like to hear some similar stories.

how big is your follicle?

Can you ask for a trigger shot next time? I assume you have PCOS. Sometimes with PCOS the follicle gets big enough to ovulate and then just doesn't. A trigger shot can help.

Yesss I have PCOS. It was 9mm, then 13mm then 15mm. They expected it not to have grown. I'm under nhs and don't believe they offer trigger shots on the service I'm in but I will ask

Have been doing LH tests strips, been barely visible all cycle until today, blazing positive and I also have watery/EWCM today to. Think my body is really trying. Ive felt sick for around 3 days now too. Hoping there is a surge of hormones making my body ovulate? CD22 today. Feel very aware of my uterus today too, it's not painful or sore just feels full and a bit odd. My lining was 10.8 on CD19.

No Im not unfortunately. It's sucks. Postcode lottery sadly. I've had a peak OPK yesterday and some fertile CM so hopefully I'm in for a chance. Thank you, it's a tough journey that's for sure. Wish they taught you more about it at school. I've learned more about the reproductive system now than at school xx
