Hi Ladies! Looking for some feedback. First, rewind to a few months ago, I bought a plan and was preparing to start swaying in September. I was on micronor until April when I stopped bfing my now almost 14 month old. AF did not return until June and we decided that we weren't ready to try yet at that point so I went on ortho tri cyclen until September (3 cycles). At the beginning of September, I stopped taking that. Since then, I have been bleeding (sorry TMI) about every 2 weeks. Of course this happens now that we are ready to try!! So I went to my ob/gyn on Monday and she ordered bloodwork and u/s to see what is going on. She said we could try clomid depending on results b/c clearly I am not ovulating. The ironic thing is, I was seriously considering buying clomid online a few months ago while I was prepping for my sway and decided against it. Now that I may need it, I am nervous!
So here are my questions - I have 3 beautiful children that were conceived naturally and quickly - what the heck is happening now???? I am 31!!
I am nervous about using clomid and the risk of twins. What is the actual risk of twins? What other side effects can happen?
I have my sway all planned out and got my plan months ago - I actually realized today when I signed in that my membership lapsed b/c I didn't update my card (it got hacked so I had to get a new one) - but how does the possibility of being on clomid affect my sway?? Right now, I have been dieting (loosely), skipping breakfast, eliminated snacking (or at least trying), and taking fiber 3-4 times a day, before meals.
Any advice, suggestions, feedback, sharing your experiences is appreciated!
I am waiting on the results of the bloodwork and my u/s is next week so if doc feels clomid is best, then it won't be until next cycle. I am currently on CD 4.
