    It is probably better than wasting more time on a longer cycle on 50mg of clomid so it's good you told them.

    When are you ttc?

    I don't think length of time on BCP matters that much personally in terms of swaying. 1 cycle should still sway pink IMO.

    I did also wonder, why not just give you estrogen supplementation if your lining is thin & start you on the Clomid now, but many drs do like a proper 'clean slate' before Clomid.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Me? I have been ttc since Feb last year. I managed to get pregnant 2nd cycle (I o'd cd30) but miscarried at 9wks. So it is almost a year and I'm still on cycle 8. I should hopefully do a monitored clomid cycle next month.

    @purple it looks like we will be doing a monitored cycle together then! Est date of February 15th I should have take clomid by and then having a scan.

    Still feeling bummed I ate lots of chocolate and candy after lunch today

    Chocolate and candy is fine if it is with a meal and in your limits of the LE diet. If it wasn't them one cheat won't stuff up the diet. Just try to do your best

    Unless I get a bfp this cycle I should be doing clomid about the same time

    Is there any more chance of miscarriage with clomid?
    I have never had one! So if I have never had one am I at any more risk of having one now?

    Clomid is supposed to help improve egg quality so if anything it should help lessen your chance of miscarriage. But a lot of women have at least one miscarriage in their life and the older you get the higher your chance of miscarriage. Me and my 4 best friends from high school all had our first kids (9 of them total) in our 20's with zero miscarriages in our group. Since turning 30 and trying to get pregnant there's been 5 miscarriages in our group now and only 3 successful pregnancies, all in the past 2 years when we were 32 and 33. We're all 34 now. I definitely think it is an age thing as we all got pregnant easily or accidentally in our 20's.
