Clomid questions....

[maximbella]

I just wanted to update and let you now that DH wants to hold off on starting clomid tomorrow for this cycle. He feels that we haven't been trying long enough to warrant medications. He's giving me more time than I originally asked for (remember that we were only originally trying for one month), but I'm not going to lie and say that I'm not super disappointed. Each month that goes by just stresses me out more, but I have to respect his decision so he doesn't pull the plug on me. He said that he's open to it if it doesn't happen "in a few months"...

Also not going going to pretend that I don't want to take it anyway behind his back lol...but I won't. Having the rx at the house doesn't help, though.

You are a bigger woman than I. Good luck for this month!!

Might not be as of tomorrow...

Im giving you horrible advice and its honestly up to you wether you take it or not..but id still take the clomid. id tell him you threw it out if he asks where it went. Only reason i say this is because clomid has such good results with LE diet for pink, and thats what you are swaying...I didnt even give hubby the option of wether i took medication or not. BUT we had been trying for 7 months and he knew i had an appointment..we just didnt talk about it..i think for some men they feel inept or inadequate if their woman needs medication to conceive even if it has to do with HER eggs and not HIS sperm...i had already finished the clomid before he had ever even known i was on it.

Gotta say though when you first started TTC i didnt like hubby's attitude of it was his way or the highway and i am glad he is open to more time at least to make you happy because that should be how a marriage works, for both parties, and imo makes him a good guy.

Max- I wasn't sure I was going to tell my DH about taking Clomid either. Long story short, my prolactin levels were really high and I needed medication to lower my levels. Bromocriptine wasn't allowed, because I was still breastfeeding a lot at the time. My RE recommended we try Clomid, since it is prescribed in men that have elevated prolactin levels. It worked after one cycle, and my delayed ovulation was fixed! My DH knew about that cycle, but I didn't tell him about the other 2 cycles [emoji6]. I figured that it wasn't a big deal, since I was prescribed 15 tablets.

Ultimately you have to decide what you are comfortable with, and what you want to do. 🤞🏻[emoji8]!!

B and xx, thank you...and trust me, I would be lying if I said that I didn't think about doing it behind his back. Like really, really considered it. But I just couldn't do it. I wanted to, BADLY, but I just didn't feel right about it. We tell each other (mostly) everything, and it's just one of those things that I figured if I didn't tell him, I would be the one that ends up with twins and he would know and never forgive me for doing it behind his back, ykwim? We had a very in depth conversation about it and we both agreed to try one more month (this month) as is, and then try clomid/femera next cycle. My OB got me in with a RE this coming Friday, so we'll see what she says and what she recommends. It took me literally MONTHS to convince him to try for one month, then one month turned into a few months, and I'm so happy that he hasn't pulled the plug since he feels very complete with our family as is. Would love to hear any recommendations for the RE appointment, if you have any. I'm not sure what to expect...

Also, should I bring him to the appt or not?? That's def one of those times that I would prefer that he not know the details... [emoji51]

Twins are conceived naturally too. The reason I mention this is let's say you get pregnant naturally and conceive twins. Then what? Is he going to accuse you of taking Clomid behind his back? I just don't want you to have any blowback here. We get a fair number of twins without Clomid, just from swaying alone.

my husband stresses me out at doc visits personally. I feel like I have to entertain him and if the doc is running late he gets testy about it.
