Feeling very disheartened. :-(

I took Clomid for 6 months to concieve my daughter. It made me ovulate every time on 1 tablet. This time, I've gon up to 3 and I'm on my last dose. You can only have 12 cycles worth in a life time apparently.
I'll find out tonight or tomorrow weather I'm pregnant. I'm feeling a bit of discomfort though as if I'm due on.
This would meen I'd have to go for ART or IVF I guess.
We can't afford IVF though.
I know we are so lucky to have our daughter, she is an amazing, gorgeous loving little girl. It's just that she loves little ones and would make a fantastic big sister.
I don't want her to be an only child forever. (I know there's nothing wrong with being an only child), but I feel it's just not right for her. I can't explain it.
She has an imagenary brother at the moment called "Sophie". I think she's a bit confused.
I've spent so much time wondering weather or not I want another baby (I had severe hyperemesis with Lucy), and now I'm so worried I've left it too late.

Do you have to pay for ART ?

Please give me some hope.

hello mummyloveslucy

Sorry it's all so disheartening at the moment. It goes without saying good luck for tomorrow.

What do you mean by ART? Which techniques? I think that it's only IVF they 'ration' so if your specialist thinks some other treatment may help you should get it I would think?

How many clomid cycles have you had now? The full 12?

Thank you. Yes I've now had the full 12.
My tubes are fine but my husband also has a bit of a low sperm count. I have poly cystic overies.
It's good to know that it's only IVF you pay for. I think you get one try for free too.

I've now got acid indigestion too, as if I wasn't feeling bad enough.

I could be wrong about the ivf thing but it is the only thing I have ever seen discussed as being rationed.

When are you next seeing the consultant?

Have you looked at the foresight programme? (can't remember website - google "foresight preconception).

They have an amazing success rate and it doesn't cost very much.
