Desperate for a take home baby :-(

Thank you Atomic

I’ve reached such a desperate point over all this and your words, expertise and positivity literally keeps me going.

I hope I caught a good egg this cycle but if not I’ve got my clomid script ready to go

She said start it day 5, does that have something to do with my age?

I love to hear it can help kickstart things too just incase that’s the issue

Love you so much and thank you

Also when you say first cycle after miscarriage - do you mean miscarriage / af then cycle? Or the cycle before the first af?

Sorry if I’m not making sense lol

And I’m so sorry just one more ?

I’ve been on smarty pants prenatals about a month now

Was wondering if I can just use straight folate - ubiquinol and maybe inositol and skip the prenatals ?

Or because I’m nursing am I better off with a multi or prenatal?

Thanks!!

So happy to help in some small way!

Taking Clomid CD 5-9 ~may~ (according to some theories that are largely unexplored and not at all proven) make you less likely to have multiples. But personally, I believe we see lower chances of conception taken those days, and are STILL seeing twins conceived anyway. So my advice is CD 3-7 instead. Or, you can split the difference and do CD 4-8, it's really very forgiving so you're not doing any harm changing the days. It will work on any of those combinations, just that we are seeing more pregnancies with CD 3-7.

Is there a reason you're wanting to skip the prenatals?

What I'm talking about here (that having come off a miscarriage can lead to anovulatory cycles) can be BOTH prior to your period (which would not be a true period if you do not ovulate) and that first "cycle" after a bleed.

Your body has been through the hormonal wringer, and this may mean you don't ovulate straight away. Your estrogen may drop and trigger bleeding that SEEMS like a period, but isn't, and this can happen for a month or even two. Nursing may make this more likely, even without a loss. Anovulatory cycles can happen at any time, it's just that coming off a loss may make them more prevalent for a cycle or even two.
