Should I try to get Clomid?

[onelastsway]

So, I've been swaying pretty much since last November. My cycles have definitely been affected by the diet/weight loss (I've lost just over a stone and was slim to begin with). My ovulation is now much later, gone from day 14 ish to between 18 and 22 now. On day 19 today and not even got EWCM yet which I usually get for a few days before. My EWCM has also dramatically reduced over the months. My luteal phase has also shrunk to 10 days and my period is much lighter and shorter. So, my question is...should I try to get Clomid for next cycle to maybe bring ovulation forward a bit and help boost it and possibly increase luteal phase or will it make things worse for me (potentially thin lining with the lighter periods?) Any advice would be most welcome. I know Clomid is great for a girl sway but ultimately I'd be taking it to help me get pregnant as just want to be pregnant now so would it help with this?

Maybe you should try to stop losing weight or stay on the higher amounts of cal, fat and protein of the diet so it doesn't affect your fertility too much. I've read that clomid works really well but i don't know if it'll help in your case, maybe you could ask your doctor and get it prescribed. I'm just new into all this swaying world, lets wait and see if anyone else can help you more

Yes yes yes yes yes always try to get Clomid.

Are you doing the full fat dairy daily, 4-6 eggs a week, and red meat/salmon? Have you given up on fiber?

Are you eating 2000 cals a day? We need you to eat more. That is the key here. Clomid can help but you need to eat more right away.

And about the lighter periods - tons of us, myself included, noticed that and then went on to have a perfectly fine pregnancy. The month I conceived my daughter, I had a very short, light period that lasted barely a day and I still conceived that next month perfectly fine. The light period = poor lining link is not a thing for most people.

Ok, I will book appointment with doctor and see what they say. They've been very dismissive so far but might give it to me just to get me off their back!! I'm really trying to eat more in general and more dairy, eggs, red meat etc. Not sure I'm quite getting to 2000 calories every day but I am managing to maintain my weight, not losing anymore. Finally got some EWCM and think I'm either going to ovulate today (thurs) or tomorrow (fri) - we BD on Tues night, should we try again tomorrow morn (fri) or leave it to tomorrow eve (E4D)?

I'd try sooner because it's time to pull the trigger and get things done!

CD23 and still no ovulation - what's going on?! GP appointment today - fingers crossed I get a helpful one this time but not holding out much hope. Am slightly (very) terrified about prospect of twins though with clomid....

[onelastsway]

GP said no to clomid so will just keep trying!

Please up cals to 2000 a day.

Are you sleeping well???

[onelastsway]

Yep I am sleeping. It's very odd, I wonder if I have ovulated but temps are just taking a while to go up? I'll keep eating and BDing - even hubby is now saying 'do we really have to do it again?' which is unheard of!!!
